It’s getting colder and darker at Midoriyama, so YHC planned to keep the PAX close together and moving. It’s also easier to keep tabs on our more “Senior” PAX in attendance. They have a tendency to wander off from time to time. With that in mind, we began.

Warmup consisted of SSH, Don Q’s, Grass Pickers, and some stretches.

Thang:

YHC gave each PAX their own piece of chalk then we went to the parking lot on the other side of the turd shack. YHC announced we would be performing the “Cooper” workout. It’s more like the Sheldon Cooper, but no big deal. It goes like this:

10 Rounds of-

  • 10 Burpees
  • 10 Merkins
  • 10 Big Boys
  • 10 Squats
  • Run a lap around the parking lot

The PAX immediately informed the Q that this wasn’t the Cooper but some other stupid B.S. that the Q had dreamed up. YHC assured them this was the Cooper. The chalk was provided for the guys to keep up with how many rounds were completed (or to write slanderous remarks about other PAX’s favorite football team). Mumblechatter was rather lively due to PAX of the year Freight offering his constructive sarcasm to some, or most, or all of the guys. The guys were also discussing whose fantasy football team sucked the most, and one PAX who insisted that this was NOT the Cooper reminded YHC a few times during the workout. This took most of our time, so we finished out with 5 minutes of Mary.

Announcements:

  • Convergence on 1/1/22 at Midoriyama @0700
  • Biloxi half marathon last weekend in January

Prayer Requests:

  • Broke’s Mom
  • Big Pappy and his Family
  • Purple Haze and his family
  • Sargento’s friend diagnosed with breast cancer
  • Foster children during the Christmas season

Praise Report:

Wojo is the proud dad of a baby girl! Congrats, brother!

YHC took us out in prayer.

NMM:

The guys grinded the Cooper out tonight. It was a tough one, but that’s why we’re out here. YHC was corrected after the workout about the Cooper workout. Per the F3 Exicon, each round is supposed to descend by 1 rep (10,9,8….all the way down to 1). YHC stands corrected. He had found his version of the Cooper on a crossfit WOD website! Oh well. No one died, and we all got a little bit better for it!
