On a crisp windy morning at the lakefront, YHC pondered a pivot from his plans to instead hit the boardwalk and run the workout amid the crashing waves spit forth from the angry lake. But that looked kinda cold and wet, so instead he decided to stick with the plans: celebrating America with rounds of Muricans.
COP 1: mosey to the soggy grounds in front of the fountain, with some butt kicks and karaokes through the fountain mist. Do our best to find something resembling high ground and settle in. Oh look – its Hawg! Right on time. SSH x30 then Plank up for Peter Parker, Mountain Climber, Parker Peter x30 each. Back to your feet for ISW x15. Wrap up with Plank Walks x15. (Somewhere in that sequence, YHC finally remembered to issue the disclaimer.)
COP 2: Found a reasonably dry path to get to the foot of the levee. Oh look – its Nip/Tuck! Nice of you to join us. 10 OYO Burpees for the PAX.
The Thing: Double 11 over the levee. Far side Lunges, Near side Muricans. Start with 2 Lunges (each leg) and 20 Muricans. Then 4/18, 6/16. Hopefully PAX would figure out the pattern. 10 more Burpees OYO for FracSac pulling a Rudy (asking too many questions).
COP 3: Mosey 50 feet to the shelter house. Pair up for 4 stations: Pull Ups, Burpees, Dips and Muricans. 20 Muricans was the timer, other stations AMRAP. Repeat for 3 cycles. YHCs arms feeling a bit like jello at this point.
Back to the Flag: Quick round of Mary: Putins, Bicycles and Cockroaches roughly x20 each.
Count-off and Name-o-Rama.
#Tclaps for Hawg showing up in advance of tomorrow’s GoRuck. YHC wonders what happened to the other Ruckers? Especially JV – did this finally end the streak?
YHC offered prayer of thanks for the gift of a day, for wisdom to see and follow God’s will, and for God to provide his guidance to our newly elected leaders. YHC humbly asks all of the F3 nation to show patience and leadership with our fellow humans as we begin a long healing process that our nation desperately needs.
Finish (#Tclaps forSurge’s much needed help) with St. Ignatius’ Prayer for Generosity.
Lord, Teach me to be generous.
Teach me to serve you as you deserve.
To give, and not to count the cost.
To fight, and not to heed the wounds
To toil, and not to seek for rest.
To labor, and not ask for reward
except for that of knowing I am doing your will.
Excellent Beat Down Rudy.
Corrections:
1) We definitely did 30 plank walks. It was awful.
2) Nip/Tip arrived during warm-ups, so he can back me up that we did 30 plank walks.
Also, T-claps to Fracsac for the Classic Rudy. The 10 burpees were worth it.
