YHC was amazed as the circle kept growing larger and larger this past Saturday as we gathered for what may have been a modern record 31 PAX at the mothership (hopefully soon to be broken).
The youth movement continued, as we welcomed back Sparky who was joined by his 2.0, an FNG.
PAX warmup included SSHs (Cadence of 20), Cherry Pickers (20), Imperial Walkers (20), Seal Jacks (20), Arm Circles, and High Knees (20).
After YHC confirmed he did indeed know East from West (thanks Pik!), PAX moseyed to Rip’s for 8 minutes of alternating rounds 20 Calf Raises and 20 Rocky Balboas, with a trip up and down Rips’ steps sandwiched in between.
Moving over to the general vicinity of Noah’s Ark, PAX completed what YHC hopes will become his calling “card”: the deck of death! Breaking up into 4 groups, lady luck brought forth the following, depending on suit:
Pod1: Merkins, Suicide Squats, Six-inch drill, Donkey Kicks
Pod 2: Burpees, Cooperhead Squats, Crunchy Frogs, Plank Jacks
Pod 3: Peter Parkers, Sister Mary Catherines, Gas Pumps, Shoulder Taps
Pod 4: Freak Nastys, Box Jumps, ‘Derkins, Flutter Kicks
A couple wild cards were also thrown in for good measure, a quick mosey around the Ark, just to prove to Turbo that YHC LOVES running.
T claps to those who led cadence in each of the groups, especially the 2.0s that have stepped up to keep the older generation motivated.
Following a quick mosey back to base, PAX wrapped up with a COT and Name-O-Rama, including welcome to SparkPlug. YHC wrapped things up praying us out.
Another thank you goes out to everyone coming out to sweat (maybe not as badly as me) and enjoy the fellowship. You all push me harder than I thought possible.
