It is exactly how it sounds…but we will get to that later. In the meantime…

7 Go-getters got after it this morning in 39 degree temps that felt like 33 degrees after almost 70 degree degrees the day before…after below freezing the day before that (wtf?!?!). Add rain to the mix for more confusion and a Q who is not quite sure where the entrance is that he used to enter the park and that equals a good time! About five minutes out, YHC sent a text to @Ribshack to ask him to warm up the guys since I was going to be late. The look on his face when I arrived on time was worth it. Having only been to this AO once, I asked @Ribshack some questions the night before to try to gauge what type of workout I should do. His reply was, “6:15am will come eventually, so bring it.” I hope I did. See below:

Warm up Farm Mosey to wait for The Farm of Mint Hill this morning (Deuce) to get out of his truck and catch up to the pax.

Ignore mumblechatter about there being lots of dry places to work out at this AO and perform the following:

The Farm’s Warm-up (patent pending)

1 burpee
10 SSH IC
2 burpees
10 IST IC
3 burpees
10 MC IC
4 burpees
10 Windmills IC
5 burpees
10 Air Presses IC (Not joking @Ribshack)
6 burpees
10 Air Squats IC
7 burpees
10 Mericans IC
8 burpees
10 LBCs IC (Crowd Pleaser)
9 burpees
10 Reverse Crunches IC
10 burpees

Mosey to the bathrooms and have a seat for approximately 1 minute of air chairs x 2.
Next…balls to the wall! YHC was unsure about how this would work for some since the walls were shorter in some places than others. Sounds confusing but you’d know if you were there #showtoknow. @Ribshack and I switched spots since he’s slightly taller than me and @Deuce and I performed what may be the first BTTW with no hands!

Recover and mosey to the entrance that I kept looking for to do reverse Indian Runs.

Finish just in time to head to the trees I carefully counted on Google Maps for some tree suicides…gotta love technology!

There were seven trees. At the starting tree, we did five mericans…then ran to the second tree to do five burpees, then back to the first to do five mericans, then to the third tree for five more burpees, then to the first tree for five mericans…so on and so forth…yada yada yada, etc etc etc.

Mosey to the playground for 10 pull ups OYO

Mosey back to the parking lot (after a failed EH attempt) for People’s Mary:

Moleskin:

It was good being out there this morning with some unfamiliar faces! I love traveling to different AOs and seeing how things are different but also the same everywhere across The Nation.

Sorry to those that drove new cars to the workout this morning. Be sure to go shirtless after that beatdown so your Ms forget about the mess you’ve made of your cars and clothes! #embracethepump

My favorite part of the whole workout is when I called People’s Mary to maybe see some things I haven’t seen in our neck of the woods. Two exercises in, someone called LBCs…and then it went downhill from there!

I enjoyed getting the blood flowing with you men this morning! Have a good day!
