Month: December 2022 (Page 10 of 11)

Or maybe it’s more like “Dora tried to explora but was too ambitious and then a train felt disrespected and decided to mess everything up for the QIC”

A chilly but great feeling morning with YHC replacing Pillager in the regular four to post, but let’s get to it!

The Warmup: 15 SSH, 15 Imperial Walkers, 10 burpees OYO

Then we mosey to Ida Ranking

1st Dora: 50 Hand Release Merkins, 100 Big Boys, 150 Squats.

Begin moseying to the parking lot behind Catawba Coffee…while en route, YHC brags that once you do an exercise this morning you won’t have to do it again…including burpees. You can’t make this up…not 10 seconds after that statement, the VERY rare train makes it’s presence known with a far off blast and the PAX pick up the pace so we can make it across the tracks.

2nd Dora: 50 regular Merkins, 100 Lunges, 150 Flutters

That train? Yeah apparently it was the longest and slowest train in the history of trains…or at least Mt. Holly. So we mosey to the parking lot of First United Methodist Church for our 3rd Explora…

3rd Dora: 100 Overhead Claps, 200 LBCs, 300 Mountain Climbers

Train finishes as we finish and time is now creeping up on us…so the PAX head back to Mt. Holly Middle for a little bit of Mary, where Blueprint makes us just roll around on the ground for 2 minutes.

Time.

Prayers: Turtleman, Pillager and his new 2.0, Red Ribbon’s friend (Huffstetler family)

It was great to lead these guys, great to get out to start the week again on the right foot. Even if we didn’t get to finish exploring or dora-ing.

Our honor defend…
