This Workout Brought to you by Summer’s Eve

It’s been a while since YHC Q’d a bootcamp…..8 months approximately.  Lots of different reasons.  Mostly due to injuries and SV.

Anyway, let’s get on with it.

I was awake so I headed on to the Schiele to see who was there around 6:15 am…..no one.  I got some rucking in before the main workout.

Good crowd showed today compared to recent weeks and months….more for the Bootcamp than PainLab which is really a change.

Short warm up of SSH’s and Imperial Walkers before 7 of us Bootcampers took off toward Grier Middle School.

The Thang

Grier main parking lot for some lunge walk – merkins.  Lunge across parking lot – 10 merkins and back to start; rinse-repeat 5 times.

Mumblechatter was most excellent already at this point and continued throughout the workout.

Moseyed to the steps behind First Presbyterian for some partner work – Dora Amrap or something close.

Partner 1 runs/moseys to top of steps to perform 5 squats and returns while Partner 2 performs an amrap exercise.

3 sets of each – LBC’s – Merkins – Flutter Kicks

Mosey the long way back toward the track at Grier but slight detour to run the chalk track that Roscoe had made for the youth a few days ago.  It was terrific.

Finally arrived at Grier’s track for a quick Run/Mosey – Nur lap followed by a round of Wolfpack Grinder (No way could I have an 8 month Kotter Q without the Wolfpack Grinder)

10 Squats IC – run half lap – 20 merkins (or however many I could do) – 10 Low Slow squats IC – Run half lap  – 30 Flutter Kicks (that’s one round)

Another round completed before finishing the track work with a 90 second plank.

Sometime during the Wolfpack Grinder we were reminded why we love LInus so much with his “Random” mumblechatter.  We love you brother!!

Back to the Schiele for some Mary that included Big Boy Sit Ups, Windshield Wipers, Freddy Mercury’s and Dying Cockroaches before the bells rang.

Announcements:  Extinction Run on Nov 6th; Blood drive on Nov 10th

Several prayers and finished with the COT prayer and pledge.

The Moleskin

It’s feels like along 8 months since my last bootcamp Q and it has been.  However, I have received a lot of support from the Gastonia PAX over this time as I have worked my way back.  There is no way I would have been motivated to get back to exercising without the pull of the 1st F and 2nd F.

I am grateful.

Until the next one.

Aye!

P.S:  Thanks to Bedpan for the help in naming this backblast

Ten PAX showed up at the Ricky Bobby to sweep up gravel in the back parking lot of New Hope Elementary School on Oct 6th.   One PAX would run to the area to clean and take 5 strokes with the push broome.  The next PAX in line would lead the group in an exercise of their choice until the first PAX returned.  It took longer than expected but we got the job done.  Thanks to all who helped.
