Mosey from Carmel Park to Church at Charlotte parking lot for SSH x 20, merkins x 10, IW x 15. Mosey across Colony to Castellaine for 5’s (really 6’s) and 3’s (really 4’s). 5’s included jump squats at the top and merkins at the bottom. 3’s included lunges at the top and burpees at the bottom.

Suicides to each street light and back with increasing widearms x3. AYG to the top. 6 minutes of Mary – LBC, Rosalita, Knee ups, protractor, heels to heaven, Boone LBCs.
Orlando cut it close this morning and chose wisely to try the church first vs. the Camp Gladiator route. He only missed the first 50 burpees and am sure he has done them already. Swiper, ’bout time and One Eye were flying as usual. Swiper’s attempts to oust the Q with facts, logic and speed were thwarted by the pax who could even follow the worst guidance. Good to see Gangsta back in the saddle. Albatross keeps coming back for more.
BRR training begins – Thursday nights 7:30pm Foxcroft Wine shop – mileage followed by adult beverages. Bulldogs Matters summer help needed (see Cuda). 6/3 Goat from Cotswold – Shawshank is pulling together again this year. Check the website for details.

Pretty standard bootcamp today with 3.3 miles logged and a good mix of legs, upper body and core. Swiper and Cold Cuts were out front all morning and I saw Rachel edge Cold Cuts on the AYG at the end. Thanks to One Eye (who we learned actually does have two eyes) for letting me have the reigns.

We had a strong group out there today and covered a lot of ground. We did manage to lose Bushwood, Snowflake, Aqua Fresh and Kirk along the way (Q fail!). All but Snowflake rejoined us and the pax was hopeful that all was good as Snowflake’s car was gone when we returned to the parking lot. Swiper was flying out there this morning and ’bout time and One Eye were not far behind. I know Bushwood and One Eye were neck and neck for the AYG.
Announcements: BRR September 10 and Area 51 pool party this Saturday August 20, only $10 per family – DM Kirk for details.
Always a good crew at this one. Thanks for the opportunity to lead!
