I Was Wrong, And I’m Grateful For That

The rain was forecasted to be gracing us but instead, all we had was clouds and humidity, a lot of it. Based on some of our fair-weather posting habits, I assumed no more than 3 PAX would post here due to the chance of raindrops and thanks to 5 other men, there were 6 of us. It was exactly who needed to be there.
WARMUP: Run to the intersection with Opportunity Drive for some Side Straddle Hops & Walking Lunges.
Run down the hill to the drainage pond…sounds so glorious for some Squats & Merkins. Now, run to the parking deck entrance.
THE THANG:
At each level of the deck on the way up, and including the top:
5 Burpees, 10 Merkins, 10 V-Ups, 15 Squats

At the top, run to the other side for the following:
5 Burpees, 10 Hand-Release Merkins, 10 Jump Squats, 15 Flutters (count the rt side only)
Perform that set at each level, including the bottom.
Run back to the circle for 20 American Hammers (I/C)
Run back to the pond for 20 Dips (I/C)
Run back to the intersection with Redstone Drive for 10 Low Squat Pulses (I/C). This was a nod to Santini.
Run back to COT.

The Norway Row and Stuff

There was a storm brewing over at Cockpit and you could cut the anticipation with a knife as The Pax eagerly awaited The Polish Mating Dance!

We headed down over to the locked up pull-up bars for apparently no pull-ups. We pivoted with a double Dora.

Headed over to Cindy for some Striking Viking Norway 🇳🇴 rows in honor of the World Cup.

Back to COT for prayers and praises.
