  • PAX: Broke, Pinto, Cheesesteak, Anchorman, Breaker Breaker, Hei Hei, Goose, Watts Up, Buckshot, Pilgrim’s Progress, Gavel, Tooth Fairy, Montana, Nutria, BOS

The setup: You pull out of your neighborhood, a few other Pax not far behind. A hulking work truck, loud, dim lights, can’t see the driver, comes up behind you, follows you all the way to The Storm. What the hell!?!?

Setup 2: Some damn, diesel belching work truck gets ahead of you on the way to The Storm. It’s slow, probably going to make you late. What the hell!?!? It pulls into The Storm too.

Morning, Hei Hei. Nice work boots you have there. Still going to work out? Worked all night and still made it to The Storm… Pax of the day award!

After the pledge, time for the warm up.
SSH I/c and 1 burpee
Imperial Walkers I/c and 2 burpees
Merkins I/c and 3 burpees
Toy soldiers I/c and 4 burpees
Goof balls I/c and 5 burpees

Karaoke down the hill to the guard rails
25 dips 25 dirkins

NUR to the traffic island
Six shooters I/c

Mosey to the loading dock and partner up
P1 runs to the dock, gets to the top and runs back while P2 AMRAPs the exercise. 5 rounds for each partner. Exercise 1 was LBCs, exercise 2 for a whole other set was American Hammers.

Hei Hei, in his work boots and all, stepped it up once more with a barrel roll at the top of the dock. YHC tried the same and came away with some scrapes and bruises on the knee.

Mosey to the parking lot near the tennis courts for step ups I/c. There may have been a rickety ol’ picnic table put out of commission. BOS may have been the hammer that set it free.

Time for a final dose of work with some Rugby Sprints, a YHC favorite. One pax calls an exercise, preferably on the ground. Said pax yells “go” and everyone sprints to a new point, sprints back to the original point and then recover walks to the first sprint end. Think of it as “sprint, sprint, recover”. This same pattern is done over and over until YHC says stop. Final recovery walk back to the flag for a short Mary and time.

Pax appeared to be was  gassed as everyone pushed hard.
