First 1, then 2, 3, and then 8, but lastly 9 gnarly dudes posted for their Super Bowl Monday Morning Wake Up Call at the Pile Driver.

YHC made sure to point out the new guy so that all could see, then he gave an egregious attempt at a disclaimer (if you get hurt, it’s your own fault). Next on the list, mosey around a bit to the Memorial for a COP warmup that looked a little bit like this. . .

• Bear Crawl in
• SSH x 20 IC
• Slow Down Merkins x 10 IC
• IW x 20 IC
• Slow Up Merkins x 10 IC
• LSS x 10 IC
• Monkey Humpers x 10 IC
• Mosey back to the cars to grab the late pax

At this point, YHC sees, and the pax hears, Deuce squealing in on 2 tires. Our 9th pax in, YHC leads the pax over to the track for a little Monday Morning Mint Hill Mile. After pairing each of the pax up with race partners (cept the 9th man who rucked up), the Q explained the way of the game. Each pax is to do 25 reps at each of the 4 corners for a grand total of 100 reps per lap. The first 100meters is an all out race with your partner. the remaining 300 meters is a convo pace from corner to corner. when we finished the list of pain looked like this:

• lap 1 – 100 merkins over 4 corners
• lap 2 – 100 LBC over 4 corners
• lap 3 – 100 mountain climbers over 4 corners
• lap 4 – 100 squats over 4 corners

In the course of the races, YHC’s partner had to stop and make a drop at the local legal facilities leaving himself to make a trio with the new guy and his EHer for a lap.

All done with our mile it was time to drive the herd over to the wall court with an indian run. When we arrived all pax were allowed to sit down for a respite in their own “People’s Chair”. While sitting it is good to make use of the heavy air for some press work:

• People’s Chair + Air Presses x 20 IC
• High Donkey Kicks x 10 oYo
• Walk it off
• People’s Chair + Rocking Chair x 15 IC
• High Donkey Kicks x 10 oYo
• Walk it Off

Time is a limited commodity in the gloom of F3, so next we circle up for some time in the lap of Mary.

• LBC x 20 IC, hold
• reverse crunch x 10 IC, hold
• Freddie Mercury x 10 IC, release
• search for the satellite

AMEN, the end of all sweat things this morning.

Once we were all standing, counted off, and named off we began to get to know the new guy. We found out he is in the glass business, so he shall now be named Windex. Welcome Windex!

As for the announcements, there were none except the regular schedule of pain each week. But there were prayers for 2 of our brethren who are experiencing familial losses. IF you can, reach out and lift a brother up.
