New Year’s Eve Eve At Anvil

New Year’s Eve Eve At Anvil

YHC pulled into the parking lot with a few minutes to go and found Snowflake and Mr. Magoo waiting. Point Break, Cage, and Floorslapper rounded out the crew this morning. The PAX was properly disclaimed and we were off at 5:30.

COP

We moseyed over to the the large parking lot for COP

• SSH x 20
• Imperial Walkers x 20
• Windmills x 20
• Squats x 20
• Merkins x 20

Partner and Rock Work

We yogged over to the rock pile and picked a suitable lifting rock. Partner up, Partner 1 performs called exercise with said rock while Partner 2 runs the loop to 51 and back, flapjack until the team completes the aggregate number of reps per exercise. 150 reps of Curls, Presses, Squats, and Flutter Kick presses.

Bench Circuits

Enough of the rocks so we moseyed over to the hotbox. Staying with your partner, Partner 1 performs called exercise while Partner 2 runs down the sidewalk to the garbage pail, then flapjack. We did a total of three rounds, Decline Merkins, Dips, and Step-ups.

With the bench circuits complete we grabbed some wall and two rounds of Air Presses x 50.

Mary

• LBCs x 20
• Hello Dollies x 20

Moleskinny:

• Lorax Dm’d me yesterday from the beach with a friendly reminder that I had the Q, thankful he did since I hadn’t checked the schedule. With all the “holiday hours” the past week, I wasn’t sure if the schedule was correct with the 0530 start, that too Lorax confirmed.
• When putting together the Weinke I wanted to keep it simple, “Meat n’ Taters”, some lifting, and little running, 2.6 miles or so.
• Floorslapper was almost two minutes early, well four minutes if you account for his usual 0532 arrival.
• TCLAPS to Snowflake for the run in and run out.
• Floorslapper was dropping some knowledge about the COVID vaccines.
• Point Break kept knocking out the reps and doing the heavy lifting for YHC.
• 2020  has been a year like no other and like everyone else, I’m looking forward to 2021, although that will prove to be challenging as well. One thing that has helped me this past year has been F3. Whether it was via Zoom (something was better than nothing) or when we returned to in-person workouts, F3 has been a constant. The accountability, committing to getting up to meet in the gloom for 45 minutes or an hour to try to keep accelerating provided some “normalcy” if there is a such a thing in 2020. F3 is more than a workout, the 2nd F is key, and provides us an opportunity to share our experiences and support one another in these uncertain times. Our faith will help us get through this and we’ll come out stronger. Thanks to the men that push me each morning, especially those times when I just don’t really feel like it. I know that for 45 minutes each day I’m out I feel that’s where I should be, with my brothers in the gloom. Happy New year and cheers to a much better 2021.
• Thank you to Snowflake for the takeout.
• Thanks to Lorax and Point Break for the opportunity to lead and please sound off with any mumble chatter.
