Date: 2024-04-19 AO: centurion Q: Hops PAX: Circuit City, Rawhide, Point Break, Hawkeye, Project Z FNGs: None COUNT: 6 After waiting an extra 30 seconds for Floorslapper and/or Rousey, the pax launched into the SSW Area 51 gloom. Upon entering Cerberus, a muscle car pulled in and came a couple levels up the ramps…thought it might be Rousey. That would have been aggressive and an all-time move for a LIFO. Standard bootcamp stuff including some rockwork and a visit to the random natatorium for child swim lessons and geriatric aquatic aerobics. Smoothest parking lot in all of Charlotte which came in handy for the bearcrawls. Had not been to the shopping center at 51/Carmel for years, so we returned and did a couple circuits. Also, there’s a fence around Catholic now so you can’t cut through Chipotle….and a new grotto? with a statue of someone inside…somehow doing step-up’s/jump up’s there now seems inappropriate? Anyhoo – bootcamp workout done & dusted. Circuit City was complaining about forgetting his 3 inch head-band. Hawkeye misses annihilating guys on the hockey rink. And Point Break was convinced the lady at LR50 gym was heckling the pax as we did monkey humpers and flutters right outside the open door. Ok…no monkey humpers, but next time!

WARMUP: Standard COP by Jersey Mike’s. Initially was just YHC and Patent Pending and then Super Trooper joined us. ST was brought out by apparent harassment by Teddy only to have Teddy be a no show. I think Olaf has a similar story. :thinking_face:

When walking between corners on the short side of the field, we bear crawled halfway, dragging our sandbags as we went and then walked the other half.
Long ways, we did sandbags throws halfway and then walked the rest.
More was planned for the field, but YHC had to take a pit stop off the side of the field to rid myself of weakness… in the form of puking.
As this was happening, Cheese Curd took over for a couple minutes and led the PAX through some workouts – overhead press, flutter kicks, American Hammers.
Once the weakness was expelled, we rucked back to the SCMS parking lot.
Back in the SCMS parking lot, we did farmers carries with some exercises to break it up: Flutter kicks with sandbag presses Mountain climbers Big boy sit ups Plank
MARY: Throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF this weekend Savage Race in June
COT: I took us out. It was a memorable VQ.
It was a good morning with an awesome group of PAX. Really appreciate y’all for putting in work today and stepping up/checking in when I was calling dinosaurs.
