Some nastiness with a nod to the past on this fine morning at The Sandlot as 12 of us pushed rocks and jingled balls.  Here’s what I remember:

Delinquent backblasts are tough on details, but I do remember that as I was starting to work on my weinke, JJ reached out to make sure we were still on and I asked for requests.  He gave none, so left to my own devices, the nastiness brewing inside of YHC had a chance to get out.  You’re welcome.

The Thang:

  • 10 x Don Quixotes (IC)
  • 10 x Dying Cockroaches (IC)
  • Tesla Stretches
  • 10 x Goofballs (IC)
  • 10 x Hi-Lo Punches (IC)
  • 10 x Overhead Claps (IC)

Mosey to Mr. Slate’s rock pile to choose a coupon for the day.  Choose wisely.  While YHC was a named PAX in F3 Gastonia back in the early days, I didn’t spend a lot of time with Outhouse and Gastone when they used to make these rocks a regular part of the beatdowns.  Gastone brought em out during his Redwoods Q last year, and it just seemed like a good time to do it.  (Quick side note:  Don’t give up on a PAX who hasn’t posted in a while.  I owe a lot to F3 Nation’s leading EH’er, the one and only Sargento.)

Mosey to Auto Zone and get acquainted with our new coupons.

  • 5 x Rocky Balboas (OYO)
  • 1 x Burpee (OYO)
  • Repeato for 10 total rounds

Mosey to the loading side of the Planet Fitness parking lot for the first of a few rounds of:

  • 10 x Thrusters (OYO)
  • 10 x American Hammers w/coupon (IC)
  • 10 x Double Crunches w/coupon (IC)
  • 10 x Bent Over Rows (IC)
  • 10 x Thrusters (OYO)

Mosey to the wall on the other side of the Judgement Free Zone.  This was dumb too, and we’d do it more than once.

  • Wall Sits w/coupons extended in front while YHC explained the routine
  • Balls to the Ground (Think the “Down” part of the Merkin, then hold it)
  • 10 x Jingle Balls (IC) (Originally called as “Corkscrews”, but corrected)
  • Balls to the Wall
  • 10 x Australian Mountain Climbers (IC)
  • Repeato 1 more time, for 2 total rounds, but in round 2, Wall Sits have coupons overhead

Glad the weinke said 2 rounds, because YHC wouldn’t have called a second after round 1.

Head down the stairs to the Food Lion parking lot for another round of:

  • 10 x Thrusters (OYO)
  • 10 x American Hammers w/coupon (IC)
  • 10 x Double Crunches w/coupon (IC)
  • 15 x Bent Over Rows (IC)
  • 20 x Penguins w/knees up (IC)
  • 30 x Flutter Kicks (IC)
  • 10 x Thrusters (OYO)

Leave the coupons for a minute and get some running in.  Snake through the parking lot, doing

  • 10 x HR Merkins (OYO)

on one side of the parking spaces and

  • 10 x Bobby Hurleys (OYO)

on the other til we get to the end of the lot.  Mosey back to get the coupons.  Back to the wall for an abbreviated round of

  • Wall Sits w/coupons extended in front
  • BTTG
  • 10 x Jingle Balls (IC)
  • BTTW
  • 10 x Australian Mountain Climbers (IC)

Back to the other side of PF for

  • 10 x Thrusters (OYO)
  • 10 x American Hammers w/coupon (IC)
  • 10 x Double Crunches w/coupon (IC)
  • 10 x Bent Over Rows (IC)
  • 10 x Thrusters (OYO)

and to Auto Zone for

  • 5 x Rocky Balboas (OYO)
  • 1 x Burpee (OYO)
  • Repeato for maybe 4 total rounds

To the rock pile to deposit our coupons.

Back to the flag where Amazon led us in flutters to the bell.

Time was called, and nobody moved.  In fact, light on mumblechatter, except for the penguins, where Roscoe noting the swinging of all 3 legs produced some laughs.

As always, a great way to start a Monday.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead.  Had a blast.
