YHC arrived at the at 5:25 to eight (8) PAX, including and FNG, parked and waiting near the flag poles in front of the Civic Center as instructed. An Additional Pax, Goose, was spotted parking in the wrong location as well displaying a level of tardiness that is typically only seen by YHC. It was latter discovered that he was delayed due to an uncontrollable urge to craft a fudge pop. YHC began the Beatdown with 10 PAX (including myself) at 5:32.
It was 64 degrees, dry air, and highly saturated grounds. The concrete was still moist and had puddles colleting in low spots from the previous night’s rain.

SSH, Imperial Walkers, Wind Mills, Arm stretching, High Knees, Butt Kicks, Mosey to Basketball Court
YHC’s cadence was miserable as usual
THANG 1 – “The Long BLACK Train”
This THANG was designed with the intention of showcasing various means of F3 Transport. The PAX lined up at mid-court. The Pax used the following methods to transport themselves between mid-court and the bassline in succession: Bear crawls, Lunges, Alligator Merkin Crawl, Crab Walk, and Kicking walks (AKA Waling Ray Finkel). I’m a sucker for a good acronym. During each round and in between “transports” the Pax performed reps of an exercise called by YHC.
Round 1= BBSU (10 reps per transport, 50 total for the round)
Round 2=Squats (10 reps per transport, 50 total for the round)
Round 3 =Shoulder Taps (10 reps per transport, 50 total for the round)
Round 4 = Burpees (5 reps per transport, 25 total for the round)
Round 5 = Monkey Humpers (10 reps per transport, 50 total for the round)
Pax then did an Indian-Run back to Aslan, a concrete Lion statue, and then to the bottom of the berm at the water reservoir.
THANG 2 – Price is Right – Kelly Bluebook Used Car Edition
The PAX separated into two (2) teams. YHC listed a year make and model for a vehicle. The following was assumed: 20k miles, good condition, base model, standard equipment, white exterior color. The team closest to the KBB value with out going over wins the round. The loosing team sprinted up the berm performed 5 burpees and sprinted back. the winning team sprinted up the berm and back. Followed by 3 burpees at the bottom.

COT
Count Off & Name-O-Rama : 10 PAX
Announcements :
-Coyote Birthday Q @ the Perch on Saturday.
-Welcome “AOL,” an IT professional
-The Name of the Civic Center AO was declared “The Lions Den.” This named is derived from the before mentioned concrete statue , Aslan, that happened to be located near our shovel flag. “Narnia” was thrown out as an option, but Mother Goose informed us that is was too juvenile and feminine. @Goose Please look into getting the new AO added to the Backblast Database.
Intentions: Thanksgiving for Enron’s new 2.5, Family of a deceased neighbor, Extended Family Strife
Cardinal Prayed us out.
It was a blast exploring the new AO with these men. YHC can’t wait participate in the creative beatdowns to come!
Sincerely,
GITM
