Rudy joined us at the Wolfpack on Friday ostensibly for some uptown fellowship but perhaps he really wanted to ensure the Mothership had an uptown Q for Saturday. Quick Draw had to postpone his Q and I volunteered to fill in. What to do?
In memory of those that sacrificed for our freedom I chose to lead the Pax through a military themed post on this Memorial Day weekend Saturday. I for one was sucking air and this certainly help put my cush civilian life in perspective.
Mosey to the big American flag near the peristyle for a warmup:
- SSH X 30
- Hill Billy X 20
- IW Squat X 20
- WWII Sit-ups X 20
Mosey to the Foundry running path:
(So long Walleye!)
- Bataan Death March subbing 10 squats instead of burpees to save some stamina
- Once we cycled through the Pax we started over with POW style Indian run until we competed the lap
Water break and slow mosey to a grassy clearing for the main event. The MARSOC short card. These were done in cadence and at a slower pace which proved to be a challenge on top of the challenge (i.e. perhaps a bad idea!). This is intended to done without a break between exercises. Full disclosure: we took an occasional 20 count and the Q even needed a water break (err ‘don’t splash merlot break’) about 2/3 of the way through.

T claps to the Pax for busting this out. The mumble chatter was to a minimum and I was impressed with your endurance.
Hobble back the flag for count off, nameorama, and ball of man. Thanks for our Freedom!
