Perhaps you don’t want to see the second largest ball of twine on the face of the earth

Nine men gathered in a church parking lot this morning. I was coming off my own version of the Griswold vacation, so I needed a tough workout. Check.

Yog over to the grassy field, mixing in a little carioca and backwards running. Apparently Calvary is trying to turn the soccer field into a swamp, so we relocated to the top of the little hill for an old school COP.

10 burpees, SSH
9 burpees, IW, etc. all the way down to 1 burpee and lunges. Good times.

Convene for People’s Chair on the wall of the hotbox. On my signal, run over and touch the church, then come back here for more PC (about .25 miles round trip). PC for a minute, then run to the church again but PC there. Then run back to the hotbox.

Gather in the hotbox. Oh look, a water fountain. Select a bench. Right leg step ups, left leg.

10x incline merkins, run and touch the first trash can on the ramp there.
10x decline merkins, run and touch the second trash can. Continue for all six trash cans.
Recover with more leg work – step ups, lunges, calf raises (that’s right, but no arm circles).

Slow mosey over to the rock pile. Select a rock you’d be proud to show off. 15x curls then run to that sign over there and back. 15x overhead press and touch the sign. Audible so we can move on to..

Partner up for Catch Me If You Can. Partner 1 takes off with the rock counter-clockwise around the church. Partner 2 does 10 merkins and then chases down Partner 1. Flapjack around the church and back to the rockpile. Ugh. Collapse in the shade for five minutes of mary. AYG (which wasn’t much) back to the cars. Done.

That seemed terrible. I was dripping sweat after the first round of burpees. Nemo (15) was killing it all morning, making ETrade work to try to stay in front. Great work by all the guys to grind out a tough workout on a tough morning.
