Black Diamond is uncovered at The Stockade

Warm-up began with short mosey to church parking lot. Some pax were lucky enough to carry a sandbag. Teams of three were formed, luckily we had just enough to form six teams. Seven rounds of exercises, team members rotated to each exercise. The first exercise (motion) acted as the clock. Once complete, rotate to next exercise.

Round Motion Exercise 1 Exercise 2
1 Run to church Squat with SB SSHs
2 Sandbag carry H/R Merkin LBCs
3 Inch Worm merkins Flutter/press Calf Raise
4 Sandbag toss Shoulder Taps Jump Squats
5 Burpee Broad Jump Diamond Merkin S. Press
6 Lunge walk w/bag Carolina Dry Dock Hello Dollies
7 Bear Crawl Man Maker American H

Most got through round 6, need to adjust cone distance or save the workout for 1hr.
Great job everyone!

COT: Prayers for summer travels, marriages, and for everything that remained unsaid

Mumble Chatter was strong throughout the workout. Lots of talk about things that sting (specifically ocean wildlife/at the beach), how some Dads may alter their beach/pool attire based on that of their daughters (I’ll leave it at that), and Hamhock Fish… lots & lots about Hamhock Fish! Should’ve shown to know… but to share some insight:

1. If your Daughter insists on questionably appropriate body coverage, one indirect method to encourage said Daughter to reconsider could be to “out-do” her original choice.
a. i.e.: if the shorts are too short – Dad grabs a pair of old jeans, makes some quick alterations with a pair of scissors and VOILA! Dad is now showing off more bottom-cheek than Daughter… and most likely hairy bottom cheek.

2. Hamhock Fish – this was a new one to most of us, with credit to Change Order for enlightening us. There seems to be a trend in Women’s swimwear making a comeback – the Thong. While there are places where this is better presented than others (British Virgin Islands = GOOD, local community pool = varies wildly depending on those in attendance), there’s a valid argument that the view of a thong-clad derriere resembles that of two inverted ham hocks arranges side-by-side.
a. Conclusion: Hamhock Fishing could be a great activity or, perhaps, not so much. I suppose I’ll conclude by saying, “to those who fish, may your lines always be tight!”
b. OK, maybe a few more:
i. “The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions of hope.”
ii. “Be patient and calm, for no one can catch a fish in anger.”
iii. “He who wants to catch fish must not mind getting wet.”

Thanks, Dojo, for the opportunity to lead this fine AO this morning!
