Nice turnout at the Mothership as storm clouds brewed above. Several of the Pax started to wonder if the disclaimer covers lightning strikes. I’m no lawyer, but the disclaimer seems airtight to me. JV and YHC each planted a flag in the hardest, driest piece of ground on the gulf coast, I said the obligatory disclaimer, and we were off.
The Thang
Mosey to the great lawn for the warm-up. Just slightly soggy. SFx was wishing he was Q so he could lead burpees in the corner with the sprinklers. He’s sick. We moseyed to the other end for SSH IC x 37; DQ IC x 13; Merkins IC x 17; Squats IC x 31; Dying Cockroach IC x 37
Mosey to the Refinery. We circled up in the tall, seedy grass next to the equipment for Burpeefest. 1 minute = 12 burpees + whatever time is left for recovery. 5 sets.
Next each man took a station at the refinery for a tabata-esque workout. 20 seconds all out followed by a 10 second recovery as you rotate to the next station – 17 stations: Pull-ups, Bernies, Pull-ups, Dips, Dips, Channing Tatums, Tatum Channings, low-bar pull ups, Squat thrust pull-ups, Box Jumps, Box Jumps, Pole Dancer, Pole Dancer, Squats, Squats, Rows, Muscle-ups.
Mosey to the prison bars outside of the Tad. Hop up on the ledge and grab some metal. 3 sets of calf raises IC: Regular x 25, Toes In x 24, Toes Out x 25.
The gate to the Tad was open so me moseyed by to check it out. There was a security guard outside and the ramps were taped off with caution tape. We are obviously not welcome anymore. From there it was a disappointed mosey to the Track. Along the way I led the Pax through some Marshlands. Anyone that followed me gained some extra weight on their feet in mud and water. YHC is 2 for 2 this week. Two Qs and I led the Pax through a marsh at both.
We lined up for an Ark loader across the infield: Bear Crawl 50 yards, Winston Jameis 25 yards, Jameis Winston 25 yards, Burpee Broad Jump x 10, Duck Walk 25 yards
Just a little bit of time left for a SFx 220 special. SFx led this exercise the first time he Q’d. Not sure if it has been done since. #LongOverdue. Partner one sprints half way around the track while Partner 2 jogs across the field to meet him, then switch. Repeat.
From there it was a long mosey back to the flags. Surprisingly both flags were upright.

Great crowd today despite several of the regulars being out. T-claps to Mav for squeezing as much of the workout in as he could before he had to head out to his son’s 8:00 baseball game. T-claps to Radar for wearing a sweatshirt in June. T-claps to Bubba and Douille for their Track Prowess. T-claps to everyone for the Tabata workout at the refinery. That went much smoother than I thought it would. I always enjoy the opportunity to lead at the Mothership. Thanks for putting up with me.
