Warm-a-Rama:
Prior to starting, we had a couple PAX with some interesting items: Money Cat with a Chocolate syrup bottle and Missile Toes with Rotating Push-up Bars. But, whatever, it was 0700, so we just got started. We did a little mosey and ended at some random spot in the grass. Then did the following to get ready for the big game:
· SSH – 20x
· Goofball- 15x
· Bobby Hurley’s – 15x
· Merkins – 15x
· Al Gores – 15x
· Burpees – 6
We then ran backwards to sundial. Not sure why we ran backwards, but we did.
The Thang:
MLB’s Opening Day was this past Thursday. Seeing how Baseball is America’s pastime, we had to celebrate accordingly.
1. Hit For the Cycle – We got into a circle at the Sundial, and started our attempt to hit for the cycle. Twice.
· Slowjangle Biscuit (lunges in a circle) – 40x. This was our Homerun.
· Al Gores – 30x. Triple. My legs and the fellas were mad at me. Dagwood feared I was broken and just stuck on repeat cause I just kept counting and counting and counting.
· Merkins – 20x. Our double.
· Freak Nastys. – 10x Our single.
· Burpees – 5x. This has nothing to do with the cycle or baseball. But we did it just because.
· Freak Nastys – 10x
· Merkins – 20x
· Al Gores – 30x.
· Slowjangle Biscuit – 40x. At around 28, Shangeaux threw is glove at me in protest and in anger. Typical soccer player.
2. Foul Poles – We then mosey’d across Highland Road to the baseball fields. We partnered up. One partner jogged around the fence (well, where we would assume a fence would be) from foul pole to foul pole (well, where we would assume a foul pole would be), and then sprinted back, across the outfield back to beginning foul pole. Other partner did AMRAP of assigned exercise. We did this 5 times, while doing merkins, Al Gores, LBCs, Merkins, Al Gores. We found out pretty quickly this field doesn’t drain well, and that most of the PAX aren’t baseball fans. It was a sad moment. So, I encouraged everyone to watch the Sandlot.
3. Curse of the Bambino– We then ran to home plate. We circled up and planked, while one partner ran around the bases (well, where we would assume bases would be) for a Homerun. Once he made it home, we all did 1 merkin together. Then next guy ran, and then we did 2 merkins together. We worked our way up until we all hit a Homerun. YHC failed to tell everyone the goal was an inside-the-park homerun. So, Worms started us off with a nice Homerun trot that would make The Great Bambino proud. Dagwood got the memo and showed us his speed and slid into home plate. Unfortunately, he wasted his life playing soccer. Money Cat did swing his Choclate Syrup Bottle, which ended up being his water bottle for the day, and Missle Toes did use his push-up bars for all merkins, which is amazing.
Mary:
We mosey’d back to some random spot in the grass near the flag. We each led a Mary.
· Fastball – LBCs 20x
· Rocket – Jane Fondas – 10x each leg.
· Dagwood – American Hammers – 30 count. I’m glad I wasn’t counting this one, cause I was in pain.
· Workhorse – Leg Lifts – 20x. Workhorse also did these with his hands behind his head like a real man.

COT / BOM:
Two praises: 1. MoneyCat winning his office Easter Basket Contest with an F3 box and winning a fitbit. 2. Worms becoming an Aggie Fan! His son got a full ride scholarship. YHC closed us.
