Blast from the Past with Cash

Well, YHC was thoroughly unprepared for this today. I failed to secure a Q and then got distracted taking the trash out that I forgot the flag too. At least when I realized I didn't have a Q on schedule, I thought I'd go back into the wayback machine and see what what the first workout I did. Well, the backblasts don't seem to go back that far, so I went as far back as I could which was 9/24/2020. This was the day that we renamed The Coop to Ring of Fire in honor of Jay Griggs, Cash, who passed away from cancer at the age of 51. In honor of that day, @U5P2KHLJ2 lead 31 PAX in a workout dedicated to him. So, we decided to recreate it this morning.

WARMUP: Mosey around the Nafo parking lot to the ROTC building. SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Merkins and a few stretches

THE THANG: In honor of Cash's age of 51, we had 3 cards at the bottom of the hill. Card 1 – Merkins and Squats. Card 2- Carolina Dry Docs and American Hammers. Card 3- Alternating Lunges and Shoulder Taps. The mission was to complete 51 reps in whatever combination of those exercises you wanted to. After each card, run to the top of the hill. Complete 10 Curls and 10 OH Press. Rinse and Repeat.

Most Pax got through at least 2 rounds and some 3. For those who did 2, you completed 426 reps 6x up the hill. for those who did 3, it was 639 reps and 9x up the hill. It was a sweat fest.

MARY: No time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, Stuff the Bus, Watch the Replay of the State of the Nation on YouTube.

COT: Prayers for discernment of opportunities and selecting the best one, for healing and dealing with children's health, for remembering the past, but not letting it consume us.
