Welcome to October. Fall is here! Or maybe not. Nope, down here in the swamp, summer heat and humidity remains the norm. YHC had spent a weekend up north with the 2.0s, and enjoyed a run in crisp, cool fall weather. How enjoyable – I hadn’t actually been cold in about 6 months. But, YHC was slapped with reality twice when stepping off the plane at 9:30 Sunday night – first, HEAT and HUMIDITY. I suppose fall will arrive someday. Second – #TClaps to King Kong for letting YHC know he had the Q at Rock City! What to do, what to do…. October 1st. 10/1. I wonder what that could lead to?
PAX appearing left and right in the gloom on Monday morning. The Uptowners are rapidly becoming a (welcomed) infestation at Rock City (As Angie’s List noted – “You’ve been Gentrified!”). As the clock struck 5:30, a Rock City record 21 PAX headed out the gate and off to the rocks.
Super Brief Warm Up
Circle up in the Pontiff Swamp. Much grumbling and searching for high ground. Lets get this party started
- SSH x38 – as RevSox correctly pointed out, ND scored 38 in their crushing victory over Stanford. But
- Peter Parker x25 – face down in the swamp. More tears of agony from the Uptowners
Lets just get on with it, shall we? Grab a rock and mosey to the trees.
10/1 – Thats an Eleven!
YHC is rapidly turning into Amnesty – a One-Trick-Pony at Rock City. No, this wasn’t Spartacus. It was the 11s.
Line up in the middle of the field, trees on each side.
- Burpees on one side (starting at 10x going down)
- Jump Squats on the other side (starting at 1x going up)
- Pass your rock heading to the Burpees? Shoulder Press x11
- Pass your rock heading to the Jump Squats? Curls x11
Go.
When you finish, on your 6 and do LBC waiting for the 6. Nice work JV, Bogey, RevSox and King Kong leading the PAX. As a reward, they get to do more LBCs then everyone else.
Over to the Parking Lot with your Rock. Quick dose of Hydration.
Dora
Partner Up. PAX 1 lunge walks (with Rock) out and back 5 parking spaces. PAX 2 does exercise till PAX 1 returns. Flapjack. Rinse and Repeat till all exercises are done.
- 100 hand-release Merkins
- 100 Squats
- 100 LBCs
Grab the rock and mosey back to deliver our friends to their home. Then dash back to the flag. Hold Mission Impossible while we wait for the 6.
Then wrap it up. Count-off (21 PAX!), Name-o-Rama, including naming two FNGs: Left Eye (came along with the Uptowners – YHC not entirely sure he followed the connection that left to Left Eye, but it came from references to Lisa Lopes). Friar Tuck (via Marlin, finishing his formation). Welcome aboard!
Convergence on October 13th. See you there.
Wrap up with intentions and close out with a prayer. St. Ignatius, Teach me to be generous.
