The dew was thick as always at Old School, just waiting for an inexperienced PAX to wander into it’s hydrating embrace to make shoes soggy and clothes clingy. Luckily, YHC and his counterparts were wise to this trick and stayed on the nice, dry parking lot for this beatdown. Lord know, it was hard enough with decent conditions, no need to compound the problems. This is what happened…

The Rhino was waiting when YHC arrived 10 minutes early to the AO. After a few minutes of us deliberation about how to tackle the pending doom and wondering who else would show up, the Site Q rolled up. He hopped out of his ride and announced he’d only be walking today per doctor’s orders. Looks like it’d be just the two of us. Doesn’t matter, the suck was going to happen even if we had 150 HIM there. This is you vs you stuff!

Warmup – Don Quixotes

The Thang – 45 minutes, count as many reps as you can while a 5-minute timer runs. At each horn, do the designated mode of transportation. For the exercises, do 10 reps of one, then switch to the other until you get to 80 total reps.

Round 1 – Flying Squirrels & WW3 Sit Ups – Mode of Transportation was the Lunge Walk with coupon.

Round 2 – Bock Over Burpees & Perfect Form Merkins – Mode of transport was Murder Bunnies. This round was a killer!

Round 3 – Thrusters & Jillian Michaels – Mode of Transport was the Rifle Carry.

We finished the 45 minute part up and wrapped up with a couple laps around the track to work out the kinks.

This workout was awful but Watts Up and I pushed each other to do our best and in the end, we did! Thanks for posting brother, couldn’t have done it without you!!! Wirenut walked up and we hashed out the announcements and prayer requests. Thanks for the opportunity to lead men!

Announcements – 2nd F lunch at Gastonia Pita Wheel in 2 weeks, JJ 5K coming  late September

Prayer requests – Jackson Hall, Turtleman, Wirenut’s recovery, Watts Up’s niece’s son having heart transplant, 4 year old boy in Belmont hit by car, Purple Haze’s dad
