Do the Shuffle

WARMUP: Gave the usual intro and then we got after it.

THE THANG: We toured the longer Kingsley loop and the rucks stayed on the whole time. Starting from COT we had our first 10min ruck interval, 5min rucking followed by 5min of ruckshuffling.
Stopped by a group of benches for our first pain station.
25 – Step-Ups
25 – Alt. Lunges
25 – Incline Merkin w/ 2 shoulder touches at the top = 1 rep

Onto the next 10min ruck interval. This time we rucked for 4min. and then ruckshuffled for 6 min.
Stopped at the round-a-bout towards the back entrance for our next pain station.
150 total reps – Squats and Calf Raises (PAX chose how they wanted to split up the reps )
Then completed 1 lap via BearCrawl around the round-a-bout

Marched right into our next ruck interval – 3min ruck followed by 7min of ruckshuffling.

Ended up at the amphitheater area for our next pain station where there were plenty of more benches to utilize.
20 – ButttouchSquat followed by 2 alt lunges = 1 rep
15 – Incline Merkin followed by 2 Grave Diggers = 1 rep

From that pain station we moved into our final ruck interval – 2min ruck followed by 8min ruckshuffle which we completed in the parking lot behind Panera. Last call was at 1min as PAX were asked to ruckshuffle back to COT.

Clydesdales went everwhere

Nice crowd today due to the anticipation of what the Q had to say.

Set the route, and about 5 out of the 20 something took it. Others went wherever they wanted.

Two things mentioned in COT: First- AirPods…Grab the case in the AM and see that the buds aren’t in there. Realize you left them in your workout shorts the day before that have been washed and dried. Release every angry foul word in your vocab as you search for them. Find them in the bottom of the dryer in a rage. Put them in the case. Light goes on. They work. Sorry to our Lord and Savior for the rage. Second: Get life insurance if you don’t have it.

Lots of announcements! Including please sign up for Care Center Lawn mowing. And bring/purchase supplies for stuff the bus.
