So, we had an interesting PAX this morning. I picked up Rinse, a 6 year old stud athlete, and met Nih at the AO. And off we went each of us about a decade and a half different in age from the next closest one. Someone watching the three of us burp and mark and count and pray might have felt like Goldilocks stumbling into the bear’s home.
No worries. The Troubled Water crew takes great pride in beating down a diverse PAX. We’ve been acclimated by suffering the indignity of watching Joe Dirt do his workout, then do ours, then bang out more pushups while we suck for air and ring our shirts dry.
Off we go.
Warmup with some arm circles, ssh’s, merkins, a little core work and take a lap around the park to the fidget spinner/water fountain area.
Getting It
Burp and Merk: 1-10 and back to 1
Burp and Groiner: 1-10 and back to 1
Burpees: 1-10 and back to 1
Small bead of sweat are beginning to be visible on Rinse now. I’m drenched thoroughly. Nih is almost dead. I feel like I’m doing this right so far.

About now, I notice that Rinse is really sweating. Breathing heavy and everything. Still moving like an Automaton through the work, but his humanity was peeking out. Nih, on the other hand, scaled the pulls and has recovered nicely. I’m still sweating far more than than should be possible.
Mosy across the street and sprint up the Levee for some:
Quadriphelia
4 Rounds,
Running down the hill, Running backwards up the hill and performing 4 squats at the top.
Head back across the street and to the playground for some Mary. I’ve decided that all Mary should involve hanging from something.
Round Robin Q/Q school Mary
One of my first posts at Okwata, Hawgcycle circled everyone up, and we did a round robin Q. He explained how we call out the exercise, begin the work, do cadence, and I wanted to expose these guys to it as well. So, I gave an explanation of how we would do the Mary. How we start the exercise, keep cadence and off we went.
