As operation Yellowcake wound down on Thursday night, YHC started to hear some mumble chatter about who was going to Q on Friday morning.  The pax tried to put it on Spauldini, but he was able to side step our efforts.  There was then some talk of rain, which prompted Talledega to reminisce about the epic Kojak rain storm beatdown earlier in the year that sent all the dawgs home with their tails between their legs.  It sounded like Dega was ready to pull the trigger, but when YHC checked at 5am the Q was still open.  So, feeling kinda pumped from the way the Dawg House stepped up the night before, YHC decided to pull the trigger.

12 dawgs showed hoping the rain would stay away and expecting plenty of running when they saw YHC with pen and paper in hand.  What they didn’t know was that YHC had decided to bust out a NO running beatdown that had been on my mind since being introduced to it at White Lightning many weeks back.  It went something like this…

Warm Up – right by the cars, no mosey

SSH IC x15, Windmills IC x10, Cotton Pickers IC x15, Hillbillies IC x15

No running, so…
Bear crawl toward next parking lot.  Stop at 1^st light pole.
Crab walk to the next light pole.
Partner up… Wheelbarrow to the front of school (flower beds)
Partners take turns till you get there.

By this point some pax were expressing their love of running.

Everyone pick a spot on the wall for some Tabata fun.
5 sets of each exercise  (20 sec on / 10 sec rest)

Dips
Decline Merkins
WWIIs
Burpees
Lunge Walk lap break around outside of area
Carolina Dry Docks
Air Squats
Reverse LBCs
*may have left one out or mixed up the order, but you get the point.

Now that the Tabata was winding down, YHC started to hear some chatter about how the pax were going to return back to home base.  Knowing that our wheelbarrows would likely broken for the return trip, YHC had a return plan that would allow for some close partner bonding.

Amazing turnout to support our brother Yellowcake on Thursday night.  Huge thanks to all that were able to help.  The Dawg House hit all 3 F’s last night.  Also, prayers for a safe Holiday weekend for all.  Also continued prayers for all our brothers that are suffering and/or friends and family in need of support.

*Thursday night recap:  17 Pax… 15 Dawgs + 2 from Harrisburg, a couple M’s and several 2.0’s.  Pretty cool stuff!

*The threat of rain didn’t scare this group away… Great Job by ALL

*Great to have the newest member of the DH “Tugboat Willie” on board.  Way to end the week.

*Dawgs will be running on Saturday starting at 6am at the Speedway (turn 1).  Come work out all that pent-up running your carrying around after this morning.
