The GOAT – February 29, 2024

February 29, 2024 / / 0 Comments

A few weeks ago, I volunteered to lead today’s workout, planning to make it extra tough because it’s Leap Year. We had a big group, with some folks going for a run up Cramer Mountain and back, and others opting to ruck. There was some fun mumble chatter about their being other AO’s for rucking and running on Thursday.  Seeing no FNG’s, I gave a brief disclaimer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance..

WARM UP:
Lap around Cramerton Town Center, I may have said the parking lot, which confused some.
20 SSH IC
9 Toy Soldiers IC
20 Seal Jacks IC
9 Windmill IC
4 burpees

FOUR CORNERS:
8th Avenue and 10th Street: 10 merkins
10th Street and Front Street: 10 merkins, 20 squats
Front Street and 9th Street: 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 flutter kicks (count one side)
8th Avenue and 9th Street: 10 merkins, 20 squats, 30 flutter kicks (count one side) and 40 high knees (count one side)

We took the long way as Watt’s Up said to get to our next beat down.

FOUR ROUNDS (Four exercises, 7 reps, 1 burpee, and then a lap around Center Street):
Excises include 7 hand release merkins, 7 bomb jacks, 7 alternating shoulder taps (count one side) and 7 Parker Peter’s (count one side)

We can’t do a Leap Day workout with out some broad jumps. Once again we took the long way to the back parking lot on Main Street.

Rinse and Repeat 4 times:
1. Broad jump – 1 Burpee
2. Broad jump – 2 Mike Tyson’s
3. Broad jump – 3 Jump Squats
4. Broad jump – 4 Big Boy Sit ups

Well what do you know a train was heard in the distance with only a few minutes left as we headed toward COT… so 5 burpees.

MARY:
10 Freddy Mercury IC
10 American Hammers IC
10 Mountain Climbers IC

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Q School at the Gashouse on Saturday, March 2 with JJ and Broke.
Diablo Sammich is moving to Tuesday and Bulldog is moving to Thursday beginning next week.
Food Ruck on Saturday March 16 at 5:45 a.m. beginning at the Fighting Yank. PAX will ruck to Harris Teeter purchase items and ruck back to the Fighting Yank for the start of the workout.
Extinction Run is Saturday, April 20 beginning at 9:00 a.m. at Primal Brewery.

PRAYERS and PRAISES:
Continue to keep the PAX who are ill and on IR in your thoughts.
Breaker Breaker’s stepdad and aunt.
Bos’s mother in law.
Mayor wanted to praise his daughter for trying out for a solo for Mama Mia.
