Thin Mint messaged a group of about 8 guys early in the week looking for a sub – a few guys pretended not to see it, a few claimed “injury”, Hops played the “groinal protuberance” card for the 37th time. So I took it and roped Jet Fuel into splitting it with me. He warned that he’d be coming off a big night of bar hopping. We call that “Saturday” at RockZero, so all good. Of course it was raining. Still 10 men (including Horsehead’s 2.0) gathered, I gave a meager disclaimer, and off we went.
Meander around the parking lot, circle up for a quick warmup (no SSH), then over to the island parking lot. Horsehead started talking early, but we couldn’t really understand him. Line up (abreast) for The Beast. 6 reps of the exercise at each of 6 islands, then run back to the start. Yes, we finished with Burpees. Ugh.
Over to the Hotbox where we met the Calvary soccer boss. Soccer was not cancelled today – let them play! We did a couple of things to kill the last 5 minutes of my half, then I turned it over to Jet Fuel.
Over to the rock pile in front of the church. Grab a rock and a partner. CMIYC down 51 to the other entrance, then to the fake grassy knoll. Partner 1 does the exercise while partner 2 runs the aggressively long lap around the parking lot. Flapjack and repeat for a few exercises. People’s Chair while each PAX does 10 merkins. Return your rock.
Run over to the North Face. Jet Fuel ignored all the protests, and called for 3 laps (all the way around the trees) with squats at the bottom. Back to the cars and finish with a bit of Mary.
Selected quotes:
Horsehead “Don’t feel bad if I do better exercises than what you’re doing.”
Ickey Shuffle “If we are ever attacked, and the survival of our nation depends on me, then I may do a Ruck.”

No announcements, let’s go get some coffee.
