Arriving at the planted shovel flag with a WHOLE 5 minutes to spare yet seeing no pax I knew at least one other person was there. War Eagle and PVC were lurking in the shadows and as the disclaimer was given on this chilly morning we moseyed to JPAS (where War Eagle proclaimed no need for music=turn it up) to get the blood flowing for the warmorama of usual stuff plus a new one to War Eagle: Willie Mays.
Columbus Day being the day of discovery that it is (or at least was until it became about pillaging for the millennial and younger generations) YHC hoped today’s BD would have the pax discovering how far they could push themselves—physically and mentally with the Dirty Dozen.
The Thang
Ascend the ramp to the second floor landing of JPAS. where we’d do 12 reps of an exercise before descending/ascending the stairs and add a second 12-rep exercise to the first for round two. Repeat where round three consisted of three 12-rep exercises for a total of 36 reps before the down/up stairs. 12 rounds ending with 144 reps across 12 exercises if you finish—we did not. We all got into round 11. War Eagle no longer cared about (or even processed the music) playing.
