So several years ago, YHC’s 2.0 asked him why six was afraid of seven? Because seven eight (ate) nine. I still laugh at the thought of this seven-year old’s joke, which I suspect to be Sacred Heart lore that perhaps originated from Hawg’s days there many moons ago. Anyway, with nine PAX and YHC turning 56 (7×8) today, the joke seems apropos. [Hint, Amnesty: QHC needs some more F2 events!]
After a terse disclaimer, the PAX was off to the rock pile for the first COP:
- SSHs 56xIC (with much mumblechatter, and Rudy’s poor attempt to imitate YHC at counting)
- Low Slow Squats 20xIC
- Squat Pulses 20xIC (where are ya, Shorty? They were for you!)
- Peter Parkers 20xIC
- Mount Climbers 20xIC
- Parker Peters 20xIC
- Merkins 20xIC
Time to get some rocks to mosey to the open field for COT2, namely, some Elevens. At the row of trees on the far side of the field, bench presses from 1 to 10 and at the row of trees on the near side of the field, squats with rock from 10 to 1; moseying with rocks in between. That’s 55 bench presses, and 55 squats. In honor of YHC and Marlin, he commanded one additional of each for the magical 7×8=56.
After a mosey to the benches under the pavilion, time for COT3 (a modified, as in very modified, Sparticus: where were you this morning, Amnesty? This one was for you!):
- Right Leg Step Ups with rocks 20xIC
- Dips 20xIC
- Left Leg Step Ups with rocks 20xIC
- Irkins 20xIC
Mosey to the wall for a one-minute sit with your rocks. Then mosey back to the rock pill for a closing Circle of Mary after ten burpees:
- Russian Twists with rocks 20xIC
- Dying Cockroach 20xIC
- Flutter kicks with rocks 20xIC
- Penguins 20xIC
- Hello Dolly with rocks 20xIC
Another ten burpees, then return rocks, mosey to the flag (TClaps to Rudy for bringing one) to close out with ten more burpees.
