8 sweaty PAX and a Suburban
Date: 2025-03-27 AO: shield Q: Cooter2 PAX: tagalong, Brisket, Moth, Pilgrim, ToeJam, shrinkwrap, Bombay FNGs: None COUNT: 8 WARMUP: Church parking lot for some stretching and warm-up burpees at every strange red parking lot circle. Note: does anyone know what those circles are for? THE THANG: Mosey to S. Meck HS for a trip down memory lane for Toe Jam and Bombay before the campus is totally demolished renovated. Heavy(ish) lifting rocks were lifted and the PAX didn’t miss their chance to heckle YHC about the size of his rock. Much mumble chatter ensued until order was restored.
Partner up for a spirited session of 4 Corners. Sorry about your back, Pilgrim. My bad bro.
Then the PAX lined up abreast for some suicides with a combo of high knees and up/downs at each parking bumper.
The mosey back to launch featured Monkey Humpers on the HS street corner while the staff and student body rolled in and a set of 10 merkins per intersection.
MARY: Mary was sprinkled throughout the workout. ANNOUNCEMENTS: YTF and a Blood Drive. Check Slack for details. COT: Prayers for health and strength from the good Lord above!
Mr. and Mrs. Cooter are contemplating the purchase of a Chevy Suburban to replace a worn out minivan that was placed into service when our teenage girls were babies. So we are doing a 24 Hour Test Drive with a late model Suburban on loan from Car Max.
YHC was preoccupied this morning with figuring out how to turn on the dash lights as well as trying to get to launch on time without wrecking the loaner. It’s like driving a school bus.
Apologies for the 30 second delayed launch, lack of trivia, and general unpreparedness.
After COT, all 8 PAX inspected the Suburban admiring its spaciousness and issued their stamp of approval. Shrink Wrap saved the day with figuring out how to get the dash lights to work. It was also confirmed that a 4 Wheel Drive is a must – in case that was ever really in question.
Looks like YHC might be running carpool at future workouts.
It was an honor and privilege to lead this morning. Special shout out to the Park Crossing PAX representing once again. Keep it going, fellas!
