15 men gathered in the gloom at the Storm for a signature weak sauce Q administered by YHC. After a quick intro on a rather mild morning for February, we get going.

Warmup: Seal Jacks, Gravel Pickers, stretches (non-specific to avoid a possible patent violation), arm circles.

PLEDGE

Thang:

Mosey to the corner of the school for the longest mile. At the school, perform 10 burpees. Run down the hill to the roundabout for 10 squats. Run down the dark road (more on that later) to the parking lot for 10 merkins. Run up the hill on the edge of the parking lot for 10 WW2’s. Rinse and repeat for 4 rounds total. Olsen, Dr. Seuss and Maybelline were rolling at a fast pace. The Q hung with them for 1 round, then backed the pace off to make sure I had enough gas in the tank to Q the rest of the workout. As I was on round 2, I was alone on the dark road that runs from the roundabout to the parking lot. As I began to perform my Merkins, I heard a rustling sound behind the guard rail in the edge of the woods. Startled, I stopped to investigate the disturbance to see what initially looked like a homeless person rolling in the pine needles. As my eyes grew accustomed to the low light condition, I noticed the homeless person was wearing a Titleist golf hat. He was also wrestling to open a pack of wet wipes. I said “Breaker, is that you? Are you OK?”. In a hurried frantic tone (like a guy about to crap his pants), Breaker Breaker said “Yeah! I’m fine! I’ll be back in a minute”. He then scurried down the hill into the cover of the trees to take care of business. On the last round, he emerged from the woods running like he had taken a load off. The leaders finished round four and did some core work until the six was in.

We then headed a few feet over to the parking lot beside the school for some CORA 1,, 2, 3. Partner up and perform 100 Big Boys, 200 Flutters IC, 300 Crunches. The other partner runs 2/3 across the parking lot, performs 5 SSH, then returns to swap out until all reps are complete.

With 5 minutes left, we circled up at the flag for some Mary called by the PAX.

Announcements:

  • Q school at Gashouse on 3/2. Broke and JJ leading the charge.

  • Anchorman
  • Turtleman
  • Cherie Berry and dealing with the loss of multiple loved ones
  • Maybelline’s Grandpa. Broken Hip.

YHC took us out in prayer.

Remember when you’re at the Storm and you hear strange noises coming from the trees. I could be a bear pooping in the woods, but than likely it’s Breaker Breaker. Big shout out to Fannie Mae who keeps wet wipes in the car for this very reason. He prevented Breaker Breaker from having a really crappy start to his day!
