2 HIMS came out to a loosely organized Labyrinth, but all put in solid work.

17 PAX came out to the Storm to put in some solid work.
We did a good warmup, then moseyed out to the main road, doing 5 burpees at every speed bump there and back.
Did a few other exercises, but there was some dispute over the technical name of the speed bumps that for some reason just needed a few burpees to move past. On the way back from the second run, a few of the PAX were adamant that they were called road humps, so we did Monkey Humpers before finishing up with a poorly thought out round of Dora-ish workouts.
Ran through Martha Rivers parking lot and between fields, stopped and did step ups and dips at the shack, lots of burpees were had. Everyone was definitely in favor of more burpees, but I had to keep us moving through the woods over to Gastones Hill for some bear crawls and merkins and squats.
On the way back, Watts Up and HushPuppy decided they wanted to do even more burpees, so we learned how HushPuppy does burpees, isolating each movement, ending with Bobby Hurleys. It was suggested we do 8-count body builders to finish strong.
8 PAX showed up in the gloom to put in some work at The Ricky Bobby on 10/12/22
Started off with the usual, warmup, pledge, obligatory safety statements.
Usual cycle of burpees, merkins, then moseyed around the building. then arrived around back and did 8-count body builders, kraken burpees, & Hushpuppy burpees.
At this point I deleted the weinke on my phone and had to freestyle, which led to bear crawls, karaoke, lunges skips, etc across the front of the school.
Introduced a new exercise called “Tapioca”. Basically its a greatly shorten version of Karaoke, that would fit in a speed ladder.
17 HIM’s showed came out to put in some work in the gloom at Folsom.
We started out with a disclaimer, in which I very clearly stated that I was in no way a professional……
Did some warm-up and then went for an aimless mosey up to the tennis courts and then back down towards the lot, only to realize we had more PAX than coupons so the mosey got a little longer when we doubled back for cinder blocks.
Broke up into groups of 3 or 4 and did 4 sets of literally whatever at times because groups of 4 had 1 block, 1 kettlebell
There was some well-deserved mumble chatter. This didn’t improve when we took a break from the random series of kettle bell swings, curls presses, burpees, planks, squats, to go over to the shelter for 200 dips… and bats flying overhead.
At this point I tagged out, my workout simply wasn’t well planned enough for that many guys. Balljoint called for 11’s which took us out. Thankfully the PAX saw to returning the coupons for future use and we took it out with COT, Pledge, Announcements, Sarlacc prayed us out
Announcements

5 PAX met for some kettlebell work none of us expected.
JJ, Watts up, Murtaugh, EZ Rider and myself kicked it off with a warm up and then did the thing.
Single-arm over-head march down to the bank parking lot then split into sort-of pairs and did some butterflies, swings, curl and press, alternating between that and a mosey down to the entrance for burpees and big boys.
After we finished an absurd number of each of those, we marched back up to pelicans and did a few rounds of Mary with JJ going for the flutter kick world record.
COT, announcements, pledge and EZ said a word of prayer.
A good time was had by all!

7 HIM ran a little at the Coconut Horse. It was a nice cool morning, 2 rucked early for some EC.
lot of chatter about the game, upcoming races, training.
7 of us stayed to discuss Shield Lock, the importance of team integrity and what motivates us to prepare and periodically meet.

Name-o-rama, video went too long due to a technological dispute. Once I figure out how to reduce the file size enough I’ll post it too.
Thank you for sharing in the discussion fellas, I appreciate the opportunity to learn from each of you!
