Visit Grandma on your Birthday

After the summer relocation due to the track and field renovation, the Jevlar pax was back at CCS. Header planted the shovel flag firmly in the earth and 26 of the South’s finest posted in the gloom this clear, warm and humid morning. YHC tweeted a clue to the theme of the workout…Richard Petty, Nascar, track-work, etc? It would reveal itself soon enough.

Mosey down to the brand new football field, which was in prime condition ready for tonight’s big game: Charlotte Christian vs. Charlotte Catholic #fridaynightlights

The Thang:

SSH x 20

Low Slow Squat Jump x 20

Groiners x 15

Merkins x 10

Burpees x 43 (OYO) Heart rate up now!

Time to Visit Grandma…oh sweet Grandma, how we’ve missed you:

Split the pax into 2 groups for 7s on the Mountain:

Pax 1: Top- Pullups, Bottom- Jump Squats

Pax 2: Top- Merkins, Bottom- Jump Squats

Flap Jack (after some Mary while we wait on finishers)

Back to the Turf:

Pax 1: Frisbees Hairburners to 43 yard line (there it is again) and back

PAx 2: Plank while individuals take turns kicking a field goal (make it= 100 yard mosey, miss it= to the Blue door and back)

Flap Jack- modified for time

On the goal line (abreast) for GASSERS (100yds) x 6 (I think, maybe 8, lost count due to O2 deprivation)

Jailbreak back to parking lot

COT

Ye Olde Naked Moleskin:

Ok, so the Arbo did it’s job this summer, but YHC was glad to be back at CCS. Field looks great, track is even better but no lines yet so we stayed off it. Can’t wait to watch some good ol High School Football tonight. Joker, Runstopper, and YHC will be there if anyone wants to join us. Hopefully, Stopper will keep his shirt on.

Observations: (post comments below on other things YHC missed)

YHC tried really hard to test the limits of the “talking” Busch. Not sure what exercise it would take to stop him from talking….43 Burpees- no, Gma Mt 7s- no, Hairburners- no, Gassers- maybe? God Bless him, he is just so happy to be out there with everyone, he just has to socialize. YHC just hopes that he doesn’t mind if we don’t talk back to him. No questions please Busch, unless we can just grunt back.

Yeti was there repesenting the faculty of CCS and of course showing us old guys how young he is. #Strong Hope to see more of the faculty out in the gloom at some point.

Puddin’ was sweating…..but I do believe Mr. Brady did the wring the shirt out and got the “make the puddle” prize. #shocker

Great to see my old Mudrun racing teammate, Backdraft out this am. His boys go to CCS, so it’s good to have another CCS dad at this AO.

Field Goals? the group YHC was in did fairly well. Saw some solid kick right down the center of the uprights. #fridayfunday

Witch Doctor was liking Grandma Mt. She put a beating on the rest of us. Grandma’s get upset when you don’t visit them enough. Header, remind all the Joust Qs that.

Great turnout this am. Thanks to all for joining YHC in starting off my 43rd bday. Yep, the Theme. Could not think of a better way to start off the day than with a good group of friends like you guys. OK, enough of that sobby stuff. I hope that was a good beatdown for you.

By the way, come on out to The Rock tomorrow if you want another dose of some fun. TR and YHC are set to Q there. We’ve got a good ole fashion Skunkworks type kick in the teeth for ya.
