11 PAX, including YHC arrived at MeCa’s youngest AO for what I’d hoped to be a very memorable workout.  As I stepped out of my Element (literally and figuratively, no really, I drive a Honda Element – Classy) I was met by a few faces I wasn’t familiar with. Not FNGs – but War Horse Riders.  Apparently I need to visit more often.  Just then a few crazy guys with headlamps show up.  Not sure what self punishment group they got going on with the whole early pre-run thing and all – different strokes.  Time to get started.  I rattled off a disclaimer any public speaking coach would be proud of and we were off for a short warm-up Mosey – giddyup!  (see what I did there).  I kept it short you know for the pre-run guys.  Some SSHs, Cotton Picker (with no claps – you riders really need to learn the whole clap thing – ice breaker!), Windmills and Tempo Merkins, YHCs fav of all Merkins!

Time to break the news but I chose the surprise route.  Sometimes it’s best not knowing….

Let’s just call it “Pearls on a Bear!’  Get it, Same thing as ‘Pearls on a String’ (read the book) but Bear Crawling instead of running!!  Bear crawl, exercise, Bear Crawl, exercise, etc.  I didn’t break it to them right away but you know these guys at Comanche are pretty quick.  Didn’t take them long to figure out we were Bear Crawling around the entire school.  Although since CMES is a bit larger than WROPS so I took it a bit easy on them and alternated with a bit of slow mosey.  (I mean, I could’ve made it around without the mosey break – twice, but I’m a fair Q #truthnugget)  We did stuff for the exercise part, LBCs, Burpees, Carolina Dry Docks, Bench Walk-ups (thx Columbus Oh boys), and Burpees again.  Final leg, crawl and come back for the 6 till everyone is done.

Believe it or not, this mess you’ve just read about it didn’t that to long – time to shoot from the hip. My favorite cause it’s even a surpriser for me!!  Alternate Balls to the Wall 10 count/Monkey Humpers for ‘a while’ (cause now we have an audience).  Next up – Modified Jacobs Ladder which in reality was kins like Burpee mile but whatever.  Run around drop off circle doing 1 to 7 Burpees at the ends.

Time for Mary!!!!

LBCs, Low Flutter, Mason Twist, W, Dying Cockroach, Rosalita, Low Dolly, Pretzel Crunch, Homer to Marge combo – thankfully at that point, we were out of time.

Naked Man Mole Skin:

Really cool to see Comanche take off like it has and good to see some new faces.  Thanks for following my lead and participating in this madness.  Hope you at least had fun.
