Pre-Thang
At 80 degrees and 80% humidity, the Gloom was exceptionally sticky this morning. Reveille had already had a run in with the mosquitos within seconds of walking outside. I guess he’s just too sweet.
Warm-Up
Mosey down the track towards the back end of the park for a warm up COP:
- COP IC: SSH x 30, Mountain Climbers x 20, Imperial Walkers x 22
The Thang
Mosey over to the soccer field for some 6’s (a tapered down version of 11’s) OYO. Start with 5 pull-ups on cross bar. Sprint to end of the field and do 1 Surfer Merikan (SM). Sprint back to soccer goal for 4 pull-ups. Repeat by subtracting one pull-up and adding one SM until completing five SMs. While there were no “Cowabungas” yelled out, there were plenty of puddles to surf our shoes through.
Mosey over to the levy for another round of modified 6’s. At top of the levy do 5 burpees. Run to the bottom of the levy and do 10 sit-ups. Back up levy for 1 less burpee. Continue until getting down to 1 burpee. Always do 10 sit-ups at the bottom of the levy. If you’re not officially soaked by the end of this, you’re not doing something right. Amnesty appeared to have a shoe malfunction, but he finished strong.
Mosey up the levee to the Mighty Mississippi for some sunrise abs:
- COP IC: Hello Dolly x 20, Real Freddie Mercury x 15, Flutter Kicks x 15, Russian Twists x 15, Pickle Pounders x 15
Mosey to the entrance of Audubon Zoo for IC step ups (right side) x 15, dips x 12, step ups (left side) x 15
Mosey back to the flag.
Name-O-Rama: There were a total of 8 this fine, muggy morning. YHC asked everyone to mention what they did over Memorial Day Weekend. Most men enjoyed time with their kids and wife. A couple guys went to see Amy Schumer.
Shout Out:
Amnesty’s father and few other’s known by the PAX shared thoughts on the fight against cancer.
Reveille commented about Mr. Awesome’s missionary trip as well as wishing some of his buds a healthy return as they battle a stomach bug on their missionary trip in Haiti. Roots mentioned Reluctant Yankee’s trip to Nicaragua.
YHC had two and a half weeks off from F3 due to work travels in Oregon, and YHC recently roasted a whole pig in Kentucky for his best man who got married a few months back. YHC had the opportunity to visit his family whom he hasn’t seen since January. YHC is lucky to have such an infrastructure around me both family and friends. Something YHC is very bad about is staying in touch with people who have impacted his life, including his own family. There are groomsmen from his wedding just 9 months ago who he’s not spoken to since getting married. YHC wants to encourage everyone here to make an effort in reaching out to someone who has positively influenced him and reconnect. Catch up with that person and let them know how much they mean to you.
