The Pax was 18 strong to start Day 1 of the 2nd half of 2019.   We welcomed in July 1st.  Only 6 months left until a new decade.   Seems odd thinking about 2020 being right around the corner.  A future Q will be based on a Space Odyssey.   On a different note, there are a number of #HIMs tied for the Iron Skillet.   Yes, the month is just starting.  Where will you be come July 31st?

The Pledge

Warm Up – Some SSH’s, MNC, LBC’s and Merkins

Mosey to the old HT parking lot.   YHC mentioned that had been in Chapel Hill over the weekend and was amazed that the old Four Corners Bar is still on Franklin Street.   First exercise would be in homage to the legendary gathering hole.

1st corner – 10 burpees

Mosey across the parking lot

2nd corner  –  20 big boy sit ups

Bear crawl over to the next corner

3rd corner – 30 plank jacks

NUR back down the parking lot

4th corner – 40 flutter kicks

Bear crawl across to the starting corner

Plank it up waiting on the six

Rinse and repeat the above

After the 2nd trip around, planked it up and recover

YHC had a pretty simple question for the PAX, knowing that their were a few Tigers, Wolfpack and Bears among us, who would you pull for between Duke and UNC?  YHC had devised the next exercise around who received the majority of votes.  What YHC did not anticipate (of course it was 5:45 in the am and had not given much thought to other possible outcomes) was that a number of #HIMS would silently protest by withholding votes.   Who would pick Duke?  Based on a fading memory, think it was 2 or 3.   Who would pick UNC?  Perhaps it was 8 or 9.  YHC can do basic math that early in the morning and knowing that the PAX was 18 strong, it was easy to determine that a number of #HIMS did not vote.   Heard some mumble chatter where the theme was “I would never pick either of those two teams.”    Very well, let’s just complete the 4 Corners again.

Rinse and Repeat

Meander to the upper side of the HT parking lot and partner up.   Time for Dora 1-2-3

Partner A runs across the parking lot to the Neel Hawkins side while Partner B completes an exercise; switch at the turn

100 – Donkey Kicks

200 – Merkins

300 – LBC’s

Plank it up then those that had completed jumped in to help the six complete LBCs.  No man left behind

Next up – Some wall sits with air presses; seems like we did 2 or 3 sets

Line up in the parking lot for a jail break across the parking lot

Mosey to the start – TIME

A great start to the week.   Good work men.
