COT

Moleskin:

The hearty souls of Olympus stood up to the Co-Q 1-2 punch.

Gullah’s COP appetizer quickly shook the PAX out of their Saturday morning haze and readied the body for the main dishes. Course one was more than we could chew, a case of “my eyes are bigger than my myocytes.” The second course employed some of Byron’s circus equipment. This highly functional exercise with the thick elastic bands taxed the shoulders, core, and lower extremities, a true crowd pleaser. The third main course was a bit irregular. On first glance the Pax may have been thinking (“What the he!! is that?” Read as Bill and Steve on SNL, circa 1979; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RV7Qz640OeM). YHC borrowed the active timer concept from Byron’s Traveling Circus. The Pax completing the burpees served as the timers for the called KB exercise. Despite the previous dishes served, the Pax hastily completed the tree stump – burpee gauntlet, keeping the reps of each called KB exercise to a reasonable minimum.

It was our honor to lead the PAX this AM.
