Served up meatloaf …..

Rehash of last weeks warmup

Then ….. Surprise surprise!! Open tailgate exposing the tiny coupons spaciously nestled in bed of truck …. 8 bricks and 2 sets of dog bone weights … thankfully also had a set of “light” dumbbells
Mosey to pool area of Subdivision for 5 brick assisted ( or not) burpees
Mosey to previously names Gastone’s Hill but since Gastone hasn’t posted in over 3 years AND seeing how Woody now owns 1/42 of that road …… the pax voted unanimously (240 sealed and unsolicited mail in ballots ….. I can personally vouch for their integrity)
First trip up ten squats per box on right
Second trip can be with or without nur up and each box now on left 8 flutters with arms extended up count one side
Third trip was 6 American Hammers count one side
Pax enjoyed story time where I spoke of current read “ WWII Last Man Club of Gaston County Stories of the Honor Guard”
A family member of one of their service men compiled these stories, recollections , reminiscences and anecdotes. Anyone unfamiliar with the term Last Man Club … it was begun with WWI and the last survivor would be the last man …. As their numbers dwindled WWII vets recognized the need to continue for their group and the last survivor passed a few years back. If you know of any vets … esp that serve anywhere during any conflicts or war speak to them …. Not only will you be enriched by what they say but certainly many would love the opportunity to recollect.
Prayers for E Z Rider family, Turtleman , friend in Rock Hill of Captain Stubing with heart troubles and praise to the doctor he spoke to for praying over him after
Also prayers for those traveling vacationers

The Region’s PAX may have read the recent headlines that the (unofficial) Burpee Ban had been lifted at The Ricky Bobby.

Cries of freedom were heard all through the land. The PAX repeatedly rejoiced today, in cadence, in proper 6-Count Burpee form.

WARM UP:

Alarm Clocks; Burpees(IC), Moroccan Night Clubs (IC), SSH (IC)

THE THANG

Mosey’d over to the field for:

Double Dirty 11’s
We started with 10 Mountain Climbers, 1 American Hammer, then a Run across the field, with a Burpee at the middle. On the other side we did 10 Alternating Leg & Arm Extensions and 1 LBC.

We made good use of the track for a Bataan Death March. This is similar to an Indian Run, but the last guy in the line drops for 3 Burpess, then runs to catch up to the PAX.) We did 2 laps of this.

Sargento did an extra set of 3 Burpees at the end for an unknown reason, although YHC had already given the instruction to stop. It’s possible that now with the Burpee Ban having been lifted, that an unexpected love for burpees may be setting in. However, at the same time, one has to consider that he was unaware of the upcoming set, which included a generous amount of burpees.

We re-used the middle of the field for:

Super-Fun, Still-Un-Named Routine (nothing catchy comes to mind, but maybe “4×10 Sprints”)
10 Burpees IC, 10 Ski-Abs IC, 10 Tuck Jumps, 10 Merkins IC
Rugby Sprint across field (hard run, then walk back)
We knocked out nearly 4 sets, then it was time to head back for about 1 minute and 30 secs of Mary.

Mary was short today, with only SSHs and LBCs.

Time.
