Launch of Thrive! The Bear was poked and the penalty was Burpees!

It’s time to Thrive!

When you challenge or poke the bear you need to be ready for the consequences that come with it. PAX you have Glass Joe to thank for 90% of the burpees. The other 10% you can thank Countertop for!

Wait is that rain we feel. Nothing better then a little rain to start of a Launch in which I am on Q and also happen to be one of the site Q’s. I don’t know how you all felt but to me it felt right.

It’s time to roll.

Hairband Mile to start us off.

COP:

10 Burpees OYO
SSH x20 in cadence
10 Burpees OYO
Imperial Walker x20 in cadence
10 Burpees OYO

Let’s Mosey

Time for suicides, LBC’S, and Merkins!

Start at the first peninsula with some suicides. Two up one back when you reach the next peninsula 10 LBS’s so on and so forth adding 5 LBC’S until we reach a total of 20.

We got there we can get back. Same concept on the way back but this time we substitute Merkins for LBC’S. Plank when complete.

Lunge walk to the pavilion area.

What’s that I see sand in the distance let’s mosey to the volleyball courts. But before we start to play in the sand let’s do 10 Burpees OYO.

Bear crawl from one end of the volleyball court to the other. Plank when complete!

What this 10 more Burpees OYO!

Once all the PAX were done crab walk back.

Glass Joe this one is for you

10 Burpees OYO!

Mosey and grab some wall!

Peoples chair with 60 air presses

Thought we were done with Burpees, think again.

10 Burpees OYO

Now it wouldn’t be a Turnpike Q in the rain if we didn’t get a little wet so 30 LBC’S OYO

Return to the wall

Peoples chair with 50 air presses

10 Burpees OYO

30 LBCs OYO

Back to the wall for you guessed it peoples chair with 40 air presses

CT knew what was coming as he refused the 10 count by Shepard and started his 10 Burpess

10 Burpees OYO
30 LBC’S OYO at this point I wanted to even the Burpees and LBC’S so we were going to stop the Burpee punishment at 90 but Countertop requested 40 LBC’S. Since I am a fair man I decided we needed to make the LBC count and Burpee count even.

10 More Burpees OYO

Let’s mosey to the stairs.

3 Rounds with no rest in between:

20 Dips
20 Step Ups
20 Squats

Plank when complete.

Mosey over the the shovel flag

5MOM

In candence

Great launch for Thrive! Solid Q and some #O2Dep to make this a perfect start.

Looking forward to us growing that AO like we have done with the others.
Keep #EHing your neighbors and let’s help rid Union County of the #sadclowns!

Why do I have this gut feeling that the bar has been set and THRIVE will continue to challenge every week. It will never be lowered!

Strong lead and great effort by everyone this a.m. Really enjoyed the fellowship while suffering through a well planned beatdown. Let’s keep the bar high. No one climbs out of a nice warm fart sack for a mediocre beatdown.

Congrats on your new launch boys. Sorry I missed it today, I had to take some much needed rest to try and keep myself healthy for a change. I’ll be out to visit soon.

Eternal refusnik on all sand.

Sounds like Turnpike is turning into a mean Q.
