The light of day was coming and 9 strong men appeared for their regular Saturday beatdown. YHC’s FNG was present and accounted for. Let’s get to it!
Disclaimer was given. Warm Up: Goofballs x15IC, Dying Cockroaches x15IC, Bobby Hurleys x15IC (never done these in cadence before, probably won’t again…awkward!)
Pledge
A short mosey to tour the lower levels of the park took us to the spot between Sammy’s and Old Stone where the PAX found a stack of papers. Each one listed a certain exercise, 10 in all. Each man would perform their exercise for 60 seconds and then rest for 30 in between. They were:
Daniel Sons
Dips
Donkey Kicks
Flutter Kicks
Hillbillies
Merkins
Monkey Humpers
Mountain Climbers
Peter Parkers
Rocky Balboas
Not too much mumble chatter was had during this routine except that the burger Top Hat had for dinner was still hanging with him. Oh well, guess I need to raise the bar!
Mosey around the corner to the road parallel to the railroad tracks with a long row of parking spaces. Its the perfect spot for a Zombie Walk. You’re welcome men!
Mosey from there to the track behind the middle school for the next round of fun.Courtesy of our own Whoopee, it’s time to make a run for some Bojangles Biscuit (his creation). Sprint the straights, mosey the corners, plank for the 6 at the end then 10 burpees OYO to finish each lap. I have to admit, this sucks. Sprints take it out of YHC more than anything, then add burpees on top of it, PAIN! We had to do a couple of count offs and general recovery in between to gather ourselves. Even though it sucked, we pushed through for 3 rounds of this beast. Strong work men.
Since we were here at the track and it has a field in the middle, YHC asked the PAX what his favorite exercise is. After a couple of wrong guesses, the FNG correctly answered bearcrawls. So we did the Bearcrawl Snake. Each PAX held plank position while the rear bearcrawled to the front, snaking between each to the front. We went from one side of the field to the other.
Mosey down to the starting area for a short round of Mary. Pockets called Side Straddle Hops, Solomon did Flutter Kicks and Dr. Seuss asked for Goofballs. Time’s up.
Announcements: Burpeethon, Mud Run, Disc Golf on March 11th at Goat Island. After Christmas Christmas party at Whoopee’s in April, need Q’s for the Yank, Storm & Goat Island
Prayer requests: Top Hat and his family (his dad is home now!), Shad Rap is out for 6-8 weeks with a cracked shin bone, the PAX who haven’t posted in a while, others I can’t remember, sorry.
After Q’ing the Yank last week and not having anyone step up to the challenge to Q before the date, I wanted to see what would happen if no one is listed as Q for a workout. The number of men who showed was low compared to most other workouts. As leaders we need to let everyone know that we’ll be there for each other, even so far as committing to just being at a workout, otherwise it’s just us and this thing doesn’t work as well. We depend on each other!
It was an honor to lead as always men. AYE!!!
