Three Pax posted for the Black Friday Specials at Tequila Sunrise, and savings were found everywhere.

First things first… a warmup and 5 burpees for the train, then jump in for a mosey to the first store. At each store, each Pax called an exercise, and YHC called the reps. If the price was deemed too steep, a discount could be requested. Since YHC also likes to save, all discounts were given, but you should have seen the retail! After all purchases were made, mosey on to the next stop. Traffic wasn’t heavy, but we took it slow nonetheless. Four stops in total and a final round of Mary at the flag with enough time for YHC to call 100 burpees. A 99% discount was requested and granted.

No, YHC is not a big Braves fan, however, it does make for an interesting way to come up with a beat down at The Goat.

First The Pledge, then a warmup… needed as it was chilly.

The THANG…

Run up the hill for the first round of BRAVES WIN, which is similar to BLIMPS (or any other “acronym” that spells out a workout routine). 26 reps each, representing the 26 years between Braves WS wins of (B)ig Boys, (R)ockette dips, (A)polo Ohnos, (V)enezuelan shoulder taps (really no different from the American version), (E)uropen hammers (I got these from BOS), (S)quat jumps, (W)irkins, (I)ncline merkins, and (N)olan Ryans.

A quick 10 count and down the hill to the island. Lunge walk the bridge, and repeat BRAVES WIN. A discussion ensued regarding the health of the bridge in the back, so another mosey and lunge walks to confirm that the signage is not 100% correct, then back to the flag with time for Mary.

Announcements (you’ve seen ‘em), and prayer requests, and YHC took us out.

P.S. Congrats to the Braves for the win. It’s always good to bring it home.

Split personality morning at Tequila Sunrise (Oct. 1) as half the Pax showed up early with Sparxx and Nutria for IPC Week 4 challenge, while the smart kids followed YHC for IPC Week 4, modified.

After a quick stop to grab a couple of coupons each, and a mosey to the unlighted tennis courts, the pax got started on a 35 minute IPC W4 version.

The THANG…

Each pax performed 150 curls, 125 squats, 100 overhead presses, 75 merkins (no coupons), 50 thrusters (squat w/ overhead press), and 25 Bonnie Blairs (no coupons) in that order.  The catch is that after each 25 reps, there is a suicide run of about one and a half courts. The 35 minute timer started with the first rep of curls. If a pax got through all 525 reps, then they start back up with 25 Bonnie Blairs, 50 thrusters, etc., including the suicide runs.

The guys pushed hard, and each one made it through. A little mosey back to the flag to join the brothers finishing up the full IPC.

After The Pledge, announements and prayer requests, YHC took us out.

Finally cooled off a bit and had a good crew this morning with the promise of not much running. Turned out a little more than expected with 1.8 miles covered and accomplished a lot of merkins as we knocked out the following:

Warm up – Good mornings (new stretch for this group, and a great stretch), Hill Billies, Merkins, Plank hold/Plank Jacks/Plank hold

Suicides in the bus lot with 10 WWIs at the start, 5 Merkins at 1/3rd, 10 Merkins at 1/2, 15 Merkins at 2/3rds, and 10 WWIs at the far end. Repeato going back the other way.

Dora with 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, and 300 bench squats (butt hits the bench).

Extra bench work with dips, erkins, and dirkins.

Wall time with people’s chair, hip slippers and Mike Tysons.

Time for Mary with dealer’s choice, 10x.

After a brief warmup of Hillbillies, Don Qs, Gravel pickers, Toy soldiers, and Imperial walkers, the Pax took a short mosey to grab a couple of coupons, which would be needed later.

The thang: mostly kettlebells in this four round bout.

Round 1: 20 reps each KB swings, KB tricep curls, Merkin KB pull through, KB curls, KB bent rows, KB overhead press, and 10 reps of brickees (burpees with the coupons)

Take a slow mosey with the coupons in hand, overhead, to the end of the lot and back.

Round 2 15 reps each of the same, 10 reps of brickees, then head to the wall with the kettlebell for a bit of Driving Miss Daisy, which is simply a wall sit with the KB held out front, driving style. After getting Miss Daisy home, swap the KB for the coupons for some wall sit presses.

Back for Round 3 at 10 reps each, then another slow mosey with the coupons overhead.

Round 4 with 5 reps of each exercise, and a little time for some Mary. Head to The Yank and we’re out.
