There were two cars in the parking lot as I pulled in at 0527 on this warm December morning. The Sentinel’s small white hatchback was at the far left, away from the school. A familiar gray mid-size SUV was at the other end, but something wasn’t right. Was the mist on my windshield clouding my senses??  No, in a strange twist opposite of yesterday’s “Bulldog Time Warp,” it was Tesla – early!

I was wary of more unusual events, but things seemed to settle back to normal at 0530.  No other pax showed up after I planted the shovel flag, so away we went. No disclaimer, just a brief warmup then The Thang:

  • Sequence of 7 core exercises in cadence (American hammers, Scissor kicks, Star crunches, Mountain climbers, Oblique crunches, Big Boys, Heels to Heaven)
  • Triple Nickel (burpees/lunges, CDD’s/Bobby Hurleys, Perfect form merkins/Reverse lunges, Mike Tysons/SSH)
  • Rinse and repeat (same core exercises; different ones as noted for Triple Nickels)

This Weinke was definitely core-heavy.  We pushed hard and got halfway through the 4th set of Triple Nickels, then time!

Despite the lousy weather forecast, it was great to be out in the gloom and start the day right.
