I guess its better late than never to post a back-blast. Eight men arrived in the dark gloom on Wednesday 5/2/18. Still no lights on Roosevelt Mall. The usual disclaimer and off we go.
We moseyed down Roosevelt Mall to a warm-up COP.
SSH x 20 IC
Imperial Walkers x 20 IC
Lunges x 20 IC
Windmills x 10 IC
Arm Circles 10 forward, 10 backward IC
Mountain Climbers x 20 IC
Next an Indian Run to the front of NOMA.
Merkin ladder up the steps, 1 Merkin at the bottom, 11 at the top
10 box jumps on the fountain at the bottom
Repeat
Merkin ladder up the steps, 1 merkin at the bottom, 11 at the top
10 box jumps on the fountain at the bottom
Mumble chatter ensues. As it turns out, 2 Merkin ladders not as much fun as it sounds. The Pax suggested a Reverse Merkin ladder for round 2 may be better. Perhaps they are right…
Then exercises up and down the NOMA steps
10 squat jumps at the top, 20 dips on the fountain at the bottom
Repeat 3 times
Next we moseyed to the Foundry for some circuits. 8 men, 4 stations:
Pull-ups
Body rows
Step-ups
10 WWII had the count
2 rounds total
Finally, to the track for some sprints, Hawgcycle-Style.
We split into pairs. 1 man sprints 200 meters, the partner jogs across the infield to meet on the other side, sprint 200 meters, jog across the infield. 2 times around the track.
A short mosey back to the flag. Count-off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and a prayer. I am grateful to theses men for keeping me strong. Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
