Back in the fall of 1980 YHC walked into Daniels Hall on the campus of NC State University and engaged in the study of Electrical Engineering as taught by the great Donald Rhodes in EE 201, Electric Circuits I. It was a bear. About half the class failed. A bloody mess it was! but we came out of it stronger than we went into it. Which was what it was all about. So YHC decided to expand on this theme and shake things up a bit at the Crow’s Nest as it acquires it’s maturity as an AO. YHC took some time Saturday to tour the AO and just see what it was we could get into on Monday. Then at the Panther’s game on Sunday with a couple of old time Metro F3 brothers YHC came up with the idea of a bit of a circuit to take the pax on. Kind of like the ones we studied at State decades ago! Went like this:

COP:

Stretching for about a minute.

SSH X 20

IW X 20

Copperhead Squats X 10

Merkins X 20

Mtn. Climbers X 20

Mosey back to the fields and playgrounds and mosey- carefully – down the Green Monster. Tesla REALLY liked this hill Saturday! But it looked a little daunting in the dark. So the word was caution going down. The bottom of the hill was station 1. Went like this:

Station 1 – Bottom of the Green Monster – 10 Hand release merkins.

Station 2 – Run up the Green Monster, 10 jump squats.

Station 3 – 10 pull ups on the Monkey bars.

Station 4  – 10 step ups each leg, 10 dirkins

Station 5 – 1st soccer goal, broad jump the length of the field

Station 5 – Fence at top of The Green Monster, 10 big boy sit ups.

Back to the bottom, Rinse and repeat!

2 times was plenty for the pax. All performed well. So time for some real fun.

Task 1 – Bear Crawl Slalom, everybody gets two rolls.

Task 3 – SSH X 20, Regular squats X 20

Mosey to the basketball court for suicides

1 st set, Free throw line, center court, free throw line, end line – back each time.

free throw line – 5 jump squats

Center line – 5 merkins

Free throw line – 5 jump squats

End line – 5 merkins.

Rinse and repeat – 10X each set.

Back to the tables:

10 Bulgarian Split squats each leg.

10 dips

10 elevated sit ups

Rugby sprints – 2X across the basketball court.

Set 1 – 10 CDDs

set 2 – 10 copperhead squats.

Mosey back to the parking lot.

NMM:

We got a lot done and unlike at State 39 years ago everybody passed! And got better. Have to admit I did not know this group very well. Iced Tea asked me to do it and I was glad he did. Loved the AO and look forward to returning soon.

Honor and pleasure to lead as always!
