Day: June 14, 2023

There was a small crowd of 3 at The Ricky Bobby at 0530 just after I planted the shovel flag.  I was joined by Buckshot and, with his 4th ever post, Snow Bunny.  After a quick disclaimer, we got started with a warmup of SSH and Imperial walkers (10xIC), then went to plank for a quick runner’s stretch.  Staying in plank we moved to merkins, Nolan Ryans, and mountain climbers (10xIC).  I looked up and the circle had doubled in size – what the hell happened?  Tesla, Goose, and J2C had quietly snuck in somehow!  I provided a friendly reminder that start time is 0530.   J2C was thrilled that he wasn’t the last one to show up!

Next it was down to business for The Thang.  We moseyed to the back parking lot and started out with a triple nickel – big boys and heels to Heaven.  Next was a “PAX choice” routine – one PAX ran to the opposite end of the lot and back while the rest did an exercise.  At the end of the first round, I inadvertently called for flutter kicks when it was Snow Bunny’s turn, prompting Tesla to coin a new euphemism for Q-fail, the “busted rubber.”  You can look forward to snickering or groaning or both at that one during your next bootcamp with dirty old Uncle Ted.

After the second round, we traversed the parking lot to the other end via lunge-walking and bear-crawling, only to repeat another round of PAX-choice exercises.  This time, the “timer” nurred to one end and moseyed back.  After this round, we only had 4 minutes to go.  I wanted to do more lunge-walking and bear-crawling, but that would take too much time and end up as another “busted rubber,” so we moseyed back to the flag for 1 minute of Mary, pledge, and COT.

7 PAX assembled and completed the Classic PT Test at Ricky Bobby.  The track was a bit short, with each lap being 0.2 instead of 0.25, but it got the job done.  Solid work put in by everyone.

No warm up, just a quick disclaimer and the instructions:

• 1 lap
• 100 reps (as close to proper form as you’re able) of each exercise before moving to the next
• Merkins
• Squats

• SSHs
• 1 lap
• 75 reps of same 4 exercises
• 1 lap

• Rockadile Red – 31:40

With a little time left, we did some partner core work.  One PAX ran to the end of the awning in the front of the school, the other did alternating rounds of 5 or 10 reps of:

• Round 1 – Six Shooters & Pretzel Crunches
• Round 2 – Freddie Mercuries & Flutter Kicks

Quick minute of Mary:

• Orangeman – 10 x Six Shooters (IC)
• Kool Aid – 10 x Penguins (IC)

Solid work by everyone.  Glad to get out to the premier track in F3 Gastonia for the PT Test.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
