It was the usual hot, humid, and sloppy August morning at El Diablo as 11 PAX assembled, eager to push themselves and their brothers.
YHC could tell from the chattiness during the disclaimer that a few audibles were going to be called this morning. After disclaimer, we moseyed to the rock pile accompanied by War Eagle’s lamentations that Rock City was Monday and today was Wednesday…in case YHC was not aware.
Warmups consisted of SSH, Grass Grabbers, Hairy Rockettes, and Swan Dives
After “low-medium” rock selections, we lined up against the fence in peoples chair for 10 reps of rock-a-bye-baby – a six count head and chest workout in cadence.
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum followed until we hit the sidewalk.
Still bearing the brunt of PAX chit-chat, YHC opted to get a little dirty… Bring on the medium Hairburners. This involved PAX lining up in a plank and then pushing the rock across the slushy puddle-strewn field until we reached the fence whereupon we crawled backwards, pulling the rock back to the starting point.
Rocks Up was next (20 reps IC), followed by the Bear Crawl Snake> punctuated by War Eagle’s admiration of Hand Grenada’s calves.
After a brief mosey, YHC found a suitably nasty patch of ground triangulated by 3 trees, around which PAX would break into 3 groups for the Bearmuda Triangle. All PAX do 2 burpees then bear crawl to next tree, 4 burpees, then bear crawl to next tree, 8 burpees, then bear crawl to next tree, 16 burpees.
Sufficiently dirty, we headed back to our rocks for one final punishment – Rapid Fire Rock Set, where YHC delegated the cadence calling to the Chatty Kathy members of the group.
With aching shoulders and a couple of minutes to spare, slow Abe Vigodas were in order, followed by a quick mosey to the COT, circling up at 6:14:59 – that’s Fast Tax efficiency…
Name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.
Thanks for the fellowship!
