In the cards
12 lucky Pax fought of the lure of the fartsack to see what YHC was dealing up for today’s downpainment. Here’s how it played out:
* COP:
Mosey to bus lot
- 10 SSH
- 10 Slow Squat
- 10 Seal Jack
- 8 8-count man-makers
- 10 IW
* Time for cards: YHC reviewed card rules:
- Diamonds = Merkins (up the ante = diamond merkin)
- Spades = Dead bug (on back, lift straight left leg up to straight right arm, repeat other side)
- Clubs = Supine pullup (up the ante = regular pullup)
- Hearts = Spartan burpie (up the ante = regular burpie)
- Face cards = 10, Ace = 1, 10-card = ten-count, No jokers (seriously)
Amble over to playground and executed above cards, with few audible 10-counts from YHC.
****
Wishing it was done, but six minutes remain. How fortunate. Just enough time for some Mary:
- LBC
- Russian/Mason/Swiss Twist
- Protractor
- Flutter
- Dolly
(counts on Mary was not noted by YHC, but fit nicely in time remaining)
*Moleskin:
With 90%+ humidity, you couldn’t move this morning without sweating, and we were doing some pretty intense moving. T-claps to the Pax for gamely going along with YHC’s card play. Apologies to those looking for more Moderate than Intense. Great meeting some new faces (new to me), and a privilege as always to lead such a solid group of men.
Announcements:
- Deadline is July 15th for this fall’s Mud Run (October 4).
- F3 Dads this Saturday, 09:00 at Col. Beatty Park.
Swiss Miss author
My fourth post this AM. And what a doozie.
If you’ve read any of my other comments, you know how much I *love* running. About halfway through, I thought to myself, “Self, this is awesome, beautiful post. We are not running, Self. This is a good, good thing.”
Self agreed. And for a moment, we were happy.
After another 10 minutes of the COP (Cards of Pain), I wished I was with the lads from Chariots of Fire, all beachside and running and stuff with the seabreeze flowing through my hair.
I asked Swiss Miss if it was a 3 deck shoe we were working with. He declined to answer.
All that said, great Q. As Hair Band mentioned, it was easily modifiable, and gave me a taste of the non-moderate AOs, which I hope to be ready for in a few weeks. Much like my typical experiences in Vegas, the cards kicked my butt, but this time, I liked it.
Cheers!
