So YHC shows up to the Goat on Thursday with no plan and maybe limited enthusiasm from not having a rest day for some time. However, with Q on the docket, that’s no excuse. Leadership means doing it when you’re needed, not when you want to. So it was time to lean on some experience and moxie to get something executed that would be above the line of acceptable for pax who had rolled out of bed and shown up to do some work. Went like this:

COP:

SSH X 20

IW X 20

CP X 20

Grapevines

Mtn. Climbers X 20

Decision was made by YHC to mosey across both bridges and to the parking lot on the other side of the island. Had thought about going down to the basketball courts but that was a long dark run along a road so safety first! And gave us more options on what to do which was still somewhat in the thought process:

Four Corners:

5 HR merkins in the center then to each corner and back to the center for 5 HRMs again.

1st corner: 10 Big boy hand locked situps

2nd corner: 10 CDDS

3rd corner: 10 jump squats

4th corner: 10 Diamond merkins

Rinse and repeat, total 2 rotations.

Parking lot Suicides:

End to 1st light: Burpee broad Jumps, 10 SSH, return

End to 2nd light: Broad jumps, 10 merkins, return

Return to park area, lunge walk bridge.

On benches:

10 inclined merkins

10 step ups each leg

10 dirkins

10 Bulgarian Split squats

10 step ups each leg

10 dips

10 Step ups each leg

Over the main bridge for the finale’

Triple nickel from the fire station up to the third light poles on the right up the Big Hill.

Bottom: Plank jacks X 5

Top: LBCs X 5

We were able to get three repeats in here before time expired. So back to COT, pledge, etc.

NMM:

Small but dedicated crowd, I had actually blown the fact that I was Q this morning but was able to rely on past experience to pit together a reasonable beatdown. Certainly was helped by the humidity. Welcomes to July boys!

Made the call to go across to the island because of safety concerns. Absolutely no question that going over those bridges and being in the lot is a lot safer than running down to the basketball goals. Though with the sidewalk that is fine. But I think we all need to keep things like that in mind since we work in the gloom.

Again great work by the crowd here. Always a pleasure to lead at The Goat!
