Lots of Chatty Cathys

An outstanding group of 24 showed up, some late, to Stonehenge and were pushed to their limit.  YHC included.  Here’s how things went down.

THE THANG

  • Short mosey, stop….Puppy and others rolling up late…..audible and circle up in CVS to wait.
  • SSH
  • MERKINS
  • MTNS

Mosey to Y field.  Stop multiple times on the way mixing in various merkins and other.

Line up for Burpee gassers.

  • 10, 6 count Burpees in cadence
  • Run the length of the field and back
  • 15
  • Run the length and back, twice
  • 20
  • Run the length and back 3 times
  • Mix in SSH and Seal Jacks to wait for the group

Short mosey to Brave Slalom course.

  • Follow the leader up and down slalom of trees
  • Merkins when you finish
  • Repeato back
  • Reapeto back
  • Reapeto back lead by Bevo and Loogie.

Short mosey back to field and partner up.  Time to dig deep because we were exhausted at this point.

  • Plank decline merkins X15
  • Run the width of the field and back
  • Reapeto X20
  • Run
  • Hand slap X20
  • Run
  • Reapeto X20

Let’s head back, time is ticking.  Stop multiple times on the way back for merkins or Mary.

THINE OLE MOLESKINEY

Where do I start? The tweets and texts began the night before with many SOBS poking the bear.  It continued when the PAX gathered in the gloom and remained loud during the first 15 mins of the workout.  I think a collective UNCLE was called right around the 6 count burpee gasser.  YHC enjoyed the lively and often funny chatter.  We had quite a group today, I enjoyed every minute of it.

I could tell today that guys were going past their normal limits.  That’s what it’s all about and I’m proud to see it.

Fellowship gathering following the workout was just as much fun.  I think it was a record crowd.  Too many stories and jokes to possibly summarize, but here’s my best recap:

  • My partner Fire Hazard is a perfect form beast
  • Frehley doesn’t know how to operate a phone
  • Bevo brings great energy to the PAX
  • Commish gets respect for not ducking hard workouts
  • Balki, Rump Roast, Soft Pretzel, Swiss Miss and Lex were out in front during burpee gassers
  • Tree slalom needs a name
  • Haggis feeling the pressure to make next week’s workout even harder
  • Dolphin feeling even more pressure since he’s leading the week after that

Thanks for a great morning fellas.  Seriously, it was an excellent group today.
