As Mauly Reps as Possible

11 men gathered in perfect weather conditions to race themselves at an AMRAP course at The Maul. Then the most random thing ever happened.

The Thang

Mosey to front of movie theater for COP, with high knees and but kickers on the way:

Dry-run through 0.58 mi AMRAP course to point out pain stations, then hounds were released. All PAX completed 2 laps after the dry-run.

AMRAP (As Mauly Reps as Possible) Course:

Run up/down big hill near Firebirds, with 11 burpees at the bottom
22 dips at the wall to the right of Firebirds
22 derkins at the wall to the left of Cantina 1511
Hairburners in small lot to the right of Cantina 1511
Worm walk on left side of main fountain, with hands on lower wall and feet on higher wall
11 jump-ups on fountain wall
Worm walk on right side of main fountain, with hands on lower wall and feet on higher wall
Bear crawl the length of the Dean & Deluca building (South side of building)
22 fast curb jumps in main lot in front of Harris Teeter
11 supine pull-ups using cart corral in front of Harris Teeter
11 supine pull-ups using cart corral in front of Ulta

Meet back at start of course at 6:05. Mosey back home, doing switchbacks around the trees on the way.

Circle up in plank position next to theater. One man does 10 merkins, followed by the man to his left. All hold plank until everyone has gone.

11 boxcutters
Protractor: each man calls out a different angle and holds for several seconds until all have gone

Moleskine

The group was a little smaller than usual this morning. It’s possible the 366 merkins that YHC called last week at Rebel Yell may have may had some PAX thinking twice about posting. Either that or they were working on their pecs at Fat Camp.
Glad to have Goodyear out there. He showed up during COP like a bat out of heck.
All exercise reps totaled 22 (or half that) to help draw attention to the 22 Veterans that take their lives each day due to PTSD. Check out #22Kill.
Halfway through the AMRAP course dry-run, the Ghostbusters car drove right in front of us through Stonecrest. You know, THE GHOSTBUSTERS CAR (as pictured here). That really happened. I know that Loogie has his demons, and Cheddar some skeletons in his closet, but apparently it’s worse than we all thought.
Squid pushed the pace on the course and was looking dapper with his hair uncharacteristically parted to one side. Strong work, Squid.
Everyone pushed hard and was able to get in 2 full laps of the course, which was a challenging one. The hairburner to worm walk to bear crawl section was particularly hard.
Pop Tart had his mustard colored shoes on, as always. So, no change there if you were wondering.
It was an honor to lead. Thank you Wing Space Man and Commish for the opportunity.
Thanks to Mic Check (my da Vinci brother) for the plates, Squid for taking us out, Cheddar for not tripping anyone and Commish for collecting the cones
