Grabbed a chance to Q across town at The Labyrinth. It was YHC’s first time to The Labyrinth. It was dark, but it looked strangely similar to that other AO called the The Sandlot.
It was a comfortable 50 degrees, and the rain held off.
Up until about 5:28am, Dirt was concerned that it would just be him and YHC. (If that had been the case, YHC was thinking to abandon the ‘ol Weinke completely and just make it a running workout.)
Well, the clock kept ticking, and a few more PAX rolled in by 5:30. At about 5:32, the 7th and final PAX made his grand entrance.
YHC was glad to see 4 new faces from the Gastonia crew in the Gloom.
DISCLAIMER:
Adjust and Modify as necessary. Push yourself! …but that doesn’t mean push yourself to the point of injury, especially if you already have a known issue.
YHC re-iterated the disclaimer: I’m not a professional and I definitely don’t know what kinds of issues you PAX have!
WARMUP:
- SSH (because who knows what kinds of strange things would happen in the Gloom if you don’t start out with SSHs)
- Imperial Walkers
- Good-Morning-Burpees (combo of Alarm Clock + Burpee. -Sorry you missed them, Radar)
THE THANG
Mosey to Martha, stopping every once in a while for 10 reps of various exercises
Dirty 11’s : w/ Hammers and Merkins, Burpee in the middle
Mosey to fieldhouse
The mumblechatter topics included US legislation that is in the works to do away with Daylight Savings Time. The PAX wondered what the implications would be for the Gloom. More importantly, if DST went away, how would anyone know when to replace batteries in their smoke detectors?
Partner B.O.M.B.S: Burpees (25x), Overhead Press (50x), Merkins (75x), Big Boy Sit-ups(100x), and Squats (125x) Partner runs around fieldhouse
A dessert-like smell was emanating out of the Fieldhouse. The PAX were trying to determine what it was. Most PAX thought it was “some kind of Banana” dessert. it smelled great.
Then there were others smells that started right about the time that the PAX were doing Big Boy Sit-Ups and Squats. Those smells did not smell great.
Mosey a little to the bleachers for Dips, then Dirty Calves (in honor of Dirt)
Mosey, stopping every once in a while for a PAX-called exercise. Some PAX counted cadence for their pick.
Indian Run back to StartEx, stopping for some reps of various exercises.

Glad to join the Labyrinth crew!
YHC was surprised that there was a considerably-sized group of ladies who walk in the Gloom at around 5:20-ish. As YHC drove away, it looked like they were doing a Circle-Up or Disclaimer or something. They probably should have a name for their group, maybe with a Letter-Number combination.
Glad to lead this group of PAX today!
