YHC picked up a full-in Q when Steve wasn’t able to make it, so we went to an old standby. I figured to throw some burpees in to help out Jose, but alas he was in the midst of his patented pre-thang thang as I drove up. We were joined by a Shooter and off we went.

Pax knocked out the Deck of Death (exercise and count based on value and suit of the card turned over from a standard deck of playing cards). YHC likes to split the deck into 4 groups to vary up the exercises, with some moseying between rounds.

Hearts – Freak Nastys
Diamonds – step ups
Clubs – BSSs
Spades – Leg Raises
Round 2 at the fans
Hearts – SMCs
Diamonds – wide merkins
Clubs – monkey humpers

Round 3 at the bus stop
Hearts – shoulder tap plank jacks

Clubs – star jumps
Spades – crunchy frogs
Round 4 at the stage
Hearts – jump squats
Diamonds – donkey kicks
Clubs – Lunges (2 is 1)
Spades – wife pleasers
Somewhere along the way, the comment was thrown out about the unpleasant aromas emanating from sweaty mid 40s gents in the near 80 degree humid morning. One of us offered that it was a “sweet smell of success” so we’ll run with that for a while. It was not lost on YHC that in the three of us you probably had the gold, silver, and bronze medals of sweating: dukes of damp, masters of moisture, princes of perspiration. I would venture only Frank could give us a run for the podium.
