DATE: 2022-12-31 AO: _Sob Q: Franky PAX: Palmolive, midriff, Deuces (From Jacksonville, FL) FNGs: None COUNT: 4 4 Pax showed up for a classic year-end bootcamp. Mosey to Target parking lot for a quick warm up, 10 SSHs, 10 burpees, 10 American hammers, and 10 mountain climbers. 3 laps around target – the first lap started with 12 burpees at the first streetlight down to 1 – 78 total! That’s some aerobic cardio exercise in the first 10 minutes or so! Second lap American hammers – 78 in total. Third lap mountain climbers – 78 in total. A quick 30 second recovery (for the Q to catch his breath) the mosey to the fountains by Shake Shack. A modified Dora 1-2-3 with 10 merkins, then a lap around the other fountain, then 20 LBCs, another lap, then 30 arm raises. All that times two! And just like that 55 minutes have gone by. Mosey back to launch for last 10 burpees. Total 98 burpees and 3.8 miles. Great work men!

It was cold!

DATE: 2022-10-05 AO: _Sob Q: Franky PAX: kirby, patent_pending, madison, fire_hazard, strange_brew, Chopper, Loogie, Yard Tool, Odd Job, Luke Crabwalker, Olaf FNGs: None COUNT: 12 A dozen of mostly middle-aged men showed up on a cold Thursday morning. And it was cold – @strage_brew wore a t-shirt kind a cold. Slow mosey to the warmup area for 20 SSHs, imperial walkers, and merkins. Some say the counting was off – but I don’t know what they are talking about 😊. The pax moseyed over to St. Mathew’s where the pax got acquainted with their lifting rocks for the main course. The main course was 30 curls then run to the end of the parking lot and back – 3 times. Then 30 x 3 American hammers, squats with thrusters, flutters, and tricep extensions. 35 minutes later it got hot – @strange_brew lost his t-shirt kind a hot! The pax happily put the rocks back and moseyed back to the launch area. We did stop at each speed bump behind target and HT for some burpees. 3 miles later the pax was back at the launch for a few air-presses.
