It took an extra 30 seconds to coax the PAX out from under the New Hope Elementary front entrance awning, but once all 13 of us were out in the rain we got started. Watts Up said he was promised that it was going to be a “warm rain” and there were questions about whether (doppler?) Radar is a certified meteorologist.

Warm up:

SSH, SLOW Don Quixotes (Abe Vigodas?), Mountain Climbers, Plank Stretches

Thing 1:

Since it had “stopped raining” (there were disagreements about the accuracy of this), Mosey to the back of the school. Flintstone eventually joined us, and after two attempts at a count-off, we confirmed that there were 13 of us.

11s: Pull-ups at the playground on one side, a burpee in the middle of the parking lot each way (in honor of Goose who couldn’t make it today), and Mike Tysons at the other end of the parking lot.

There were an equal amount of complaints about being out in the rain and NOT getting to do extra burpees for the train.

Thing 2:

Mosey to each light post starting behind the school and up Winder Trail to the stop sign and back. At each light post, a PAX was called on to give an exercise with 5 or 10 reps. Hei Hei called 8 reps, which is neither 5 nor 10. Some PAX favorites: Hot Corner’s 10 hand-release-merkin-burpee-combo (he had a name for it), Orangeman’s six-shooters were already taken, so he blessed us with 5 foxholes. CDDs, tricep dips, more burpees, gravel pickers, squats, merkins, etc, etc.

Mosey back for the COT. Even though we couldn’t get more wet than we already were, the PAX requested to close out under the front awning.

Announcements: Community Foundation Run, no Extinction Run date yet, talk to Hot Corner about sponsoring a table or playing in the golf tournament
