Happy Monday – 7 PAX started the week off right with an early Monday post at Rock City. Tool was apparently still recovering from a weekend of Hogging for a Great Cause, so had handed the Q to YHC. 5:30 on the dot, time to get the show on the road. Disclaimer and off down the gloomy track towards the rocks.
Warm Up: The usual, at least kind-a
- SSH x25
- BAM. Abacus rolls in hot. Take that, Tool. That’s a #HIM, showing up on Monday after HfC.
- Slow Windmills x10
- IW x24 (YHC was confused on count. An omen of what was yet to come, I suppose)
Go grab a rock. Any rock. Triple Shift – you’ve been challenged. I don’t know where Mahatma found that thing. But it was RIDICULOUS.
Bring your friend to the tree line. Peter Parker x25 (didn’t think I’d forget plank stuff, did you?)
11s: You know what YHC thinks of with the number 11? Yup, Notre Dame National Championships (and yes, I am painfully aware that none are within the last 30 years. But there’s always next year.) So lets do some 11s.
- Merkins on the far side
- Curls on the near side
- “Let’s get it, Baby” says Marlin. “Go” says YHC.
OK, YHC forgot how to add up to 11. Something that shouldn’t be that hard, but seemed perplexing to me. But fortunately, the heckling of Walleye and Rev Sox straightened out the PAX and got us started correctly.
OK, YHC also forgot to tell people to BRING THE ROCK WITH YOU. Several PAX grumbled as they returned to the starting line. But finally, we were off – Back and forth.
Plank for the 6, with some Parker Peter IC.
11s: You know what else YHC saw with the number 11 yesterday? ND Women’s Lacrosse upset #1 Syracuse 11-10. So lets do another round of 11s.
- Squat Jumps on the far side
- Lunges on the near side
- Rocks in the middle. 11 shoulder presses each time you run past your friend.
- Halfway through, a Q-dible: change to 11 rows each time you run past your friend.
Plank for the 6, with some MC IC.
Mary: Circle up for a few mins of Mary
- LBC x25
- Flutter Kick x25
- Penguin x25
Return the rocks and mosey back to the flag.
At the flag, when given the choice – Bogey selected that we close with 11 burpees. So 11 burpees it is.
Finish with Count-off, Name-o-Rama. Quality group of gentlemen I’m proud to start the week off right with. Props to Hand-Grenada who has jumped into Pontiff F3 with both feet, quickly becoming a regular at Rock City and The Uptowner.
Finish with our intentions (especially those who are sick and undergoing surgery), and a prayer for the graces of God to be with us today.
