“The best leader is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and the self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it.” -Theodore Roosevelt
8 Okwata warriors gathered in the pre-dawn gloom. At 0530 we rolled out with no meddling from our Q.
The Thang
The Fountain was on (thanks Mitch) so we had to warm-up in it’s mist. We circled up in the muddy waters near the fountain for our Warm-up COP: SSH IC x 30; Peter Parkers IC x 30; DQ IC x 15; Squats IC x 20
From there we hit the nearby benches for a round of Tabata: Channing Tatums, Decline Merks, Tatum Channings, Incline Merks, Repeato. Disclaimer: YHC may have called for two sets of Channing Tatums in the first round. I get so confused with that dude’s name.
No sign of any late arrivers as we mosey through the muddy waters to the new pull-up bars installed by the city. Thanks again to Mitch and his fitness initiatives. The Pax had some recovery time as YHC struggled to divide 8 by 3. I finally got it figured out and commenced the next exercise. One Partner does pull-ups while another is doing burpees on the other side of the levee. The third partner runs from one station to the next and switches off. We did 3 sets of whatever this is called.
Mosey to the top of the levee and grab your six. Not literally. I just mean sit down. 6 MOM: LBCs IC x 40; Slow Scissors x IC x 10; LBT x 44; Putin IC x 15. Recover and Quadriphilia (Always Facing the Lake run down the levee and back up, AMRAP in 4 minutes).
Slide down the levee a little ways for some Merkins around the clock: 1200 IC x 10; 0300 IC x 8; 0600 IC x 6; 0900 IC x 8.
Back on top of the levee for some Sungazing Squats IC x 20. In honor of our Original Q we finished with some Yoga. I think it was a sun salutation, or something close to it.
Back to the flag for the COT and the naming of the FNGs.
I think we can call what Shorty did a “Tom Sawyer”. Look man painting fences are so fun….why don’t you try it out.
I did tell him before that he couldn’t Q all the AO’s in a week… looks like he is close to it while Amnesty was still doing the hula.
Dang – I saw that headline and got scared…. Have my VQ next week at Okwata, suddenly thought I had put the wrong week down. Sorry I missed, thanks for some ideas for next week!
