It was a day unlike any other. The Gastonia area actually got the predicted snow, kids and parents alike had tons of fun and all was right with the world. With all the icy weather Flintstone made the decision to move the regularly scheduled Monday workout from am to pm. On top of that, the scheduled Q couldn’t make the new time so reinforcements were called in. This is what happened…

YHC got to the AO early to scout things out. There was still lots of ice around and it was wet too. Now some HIM might throw caution to the wind and go splashing through some half frozen puddles like a school kid. Not this guy, we took the mature route and headed to the nice dry abandoned bank drive through. It was perfect.

Because YHC felt like mixing things up, a delegated workout from the PAX was in order. When YHC asked for any suggestions, Broke spoke up and offered

The Covid WOD

  • 25 burpees
  • 1 round of
    • 19 Crisscrosses IC or something like that. Actually, they looked a lot like Jingle Balls
    • 19 Imperial Squat Walkers IC (Sargento style)
    • 19 Oblique crunches each side IC
    • 19 V-Ups OYO – This is where Def Leppard did a sneak attack and sucker punched Defib in the gut! Watch you back men!
    • 19 Diamond Merkins OYO
    • Lunge walk from one end of the drive thru and back
  • Repeato x3

After this Flintstone offered up some partner work where one person exercised whilst the other held plank and you switched back and forth whenever you wanted. The idea was to do this for 2 minutes. We did Merkins (stupid) and other stuff. It sucked and he won’t be called on to lead this again.

At this point time pretty much ran out so we carefully moseyed back to the start, said the pledge and wrapped it up.

Remember our theme for the year, Always Be EHing!!!
