Headed to new territory

Headed to new territory

23 men showed up to the Maul on this brisk morning to discover the The Maul was closed and the PAX were headed back to school. Here’s what we did:

The Thang:

We launched from the AO and turned right onto Elm st, crossed I-485 and turned left on Endhaven and stopped at Endaven Elementary School (1.2 miles from launch).

-Circle up for COP to wait for the 6

– Mosey over to the play set and partner up. Partner 1 does pull ups, partner 2 does merkins until 20 pull ups and 40 merkins were completed

– Mosey over to the bus parking lot for ladder sprints. Q called an exercise and a number of reps (10), reps were completed and the PAX sprinted across the lot and doubled the reps (20), reps again were completed and the PAX sprinted back across the lot and tripled the reps (30). Exercises called: Burpees (5, 10, 15), Squats (5, 10, 15), Merkins (10, 20, 30), Lunges (5, 10, 15 each leg), CDD (5, 10, 15). Head back to the AO.

People chair on a wall to wait on the 6. 25 presses IC just for fun.

Moleskin:

I wanted to try something no one has ever done, take the men of The Maul to new territory, but I knew there was a risk of ticked off PAX. Most people have devised a worked that they knew some PAX wouldn’t like. Spackler last week, for example, called the Murderhorn challenge. Most hated it, but did it anyway. When it’s all said and done, the Murderhorn has the safety net of being right next to launch. Disgruntled PAX who are tired of running atleast have the comfort of knowing they are very close to launch. That wasn’t the case this morning. Being 1.2 miles away can make those who hate running uneasy. Knowing good and well that some wouldn’t like it, I went for it anyway.

Toolbag and No Show took one for the team and hung with the 6, while the rest of us gave Endhaven what we had.

Cheddar was there, basking in the glow of announcing his new expected baby this past Saturday at Stonehenge.

Frehley’s Comet spent most of the workout EH’ing anyone oldy and moldy for his new 45 and over workout on Thursday.

Mic Check showed up at a workout, a few guys thought he was an FNG.

Announcements:
