  • AO: The Ricky Bobby
  • QIC: Watts Up
  • FNG's:
  • PAX: Dirt, Orangeman, Tiger, Virus

Having been to this AO only 2 other times, YHC wasn’t sure what, nor whom to expect.  Dirt was sitting there waiting.  Tiger and Orangeman soon rolled in, clown car style.  And actually a little early for him, Virus.

0530 hits.  Lets hit it.

Since there were no FNGs, a simple disclaimer followed by The Pledge.

Warmup consisted of 10 Goof Balls IC (since it’s supposed to be Sargento’s AO) followed by 10 Grass Pickers IC because YHC legs were still a little tight.

Knowing what Broke has in mind for a PT Test, YHC decided to bring its nasty cousin to Ricky Bobby.  Lets move to the track.

25 SSH, mosey half-way around track, 25 SSH complete your lap.
Repeat for a total of 100 SSH.

Repeat to get to 100 Squats.

YHC had intended to do a lap after completing a set,  So since it was omitted on the SSH portion, lets do 2 laps.

Let’s meander a bit around the track to find a better area (i.e. drier) for the next exercise.

Repeat to get to 100 Merkins (this one really sucked)
1 Lap   (Actually it was a lap and a half, so the start/end would be the bleachers)

Repeat to complete 100 LBCs
1 Lap

There is still some time left, so lets move to the front of the school.

There is not enough time for a full set of 11’s, YHC called 5’s with Am. Hammers on one end and Mtn. Climbers on the other.  Everyone realized and Orangeman pointed out, it was actually 6’s.  Close enough.

As everyone finished up, Orangeman claimed he was sure he had heard a train sometime in the last 40 mins.  Although no one would corroborate his claim, we did 5 Burpees nonetheless.

Mary was started, while YHC retrieved my phone.  Mary consisted of:

LBFC
Heels to Heaven
Dying  Cochroaches
and I think something else.

But by this time, all could hear a train, so 5 Burpees to close us out.

Thanks Tiger for praying us out.

They say one way to improve is to workout with people that are better/faster than you.  That is certainly true.  The four that attended my Q this morning all were better and faster than me.  I appreciate the push (or really pull in this case).

Time to find a new goal as well, these men helped me get the 3+ miles in a 45 min bootcamp workout!

It was an honor to lead this morning.

Watts Up powering down.
