16 men thought it was a wonderful idea to climb out of the fartsack on a cool 67 degree morning but with the humidity hovering just under 100% there was much sweat to be had. At approximately 0530 and a few seconds everyone breathed a sigh of relief as there was no Backdraft in site….and we were off

Mosey down behind rehab center for warm-o-rama for some high knees and soldier walks…circle up for 20 SSH’s IC, 15 Hillbillies IC, 10 Cotton pickers IC, 20 Mtn Climbers IC, and some arm circles. Mosey back to the AO for the Thang:

Begin at station 1 together and mosey on to next station after first set is complete

Station 1: pull-up bars…begin at 5 reps (go up by 2 reps when returning)

Station 2: shelter…5 dips (go up by 5 each time)

Station 3: basketball court…5 star jumps (5 more next time)

Station 4: rock pile by moseying up sidewalk..5 curls (up by 5 next time)

Station 5: mary spot…5 V-ups (up by 5 next time)

Station 6: lower lot…5 down dog merks (up by 5 next time)

Station 7: parking lot entrance…5 burpees (up by 2 next time)

Once station 7 is complete you “retrace your steps” back to station 6…5, 4, etc increasing reps as stated above.  Mary called at 0613

Mary: no time as group was separated so some did star gazers

Prayers/Announcements: shooting victims/families and this country overall. Kannon Convergence this Saturday at 0700

Moleskin: this workout was used at Kannon a month or so ago and seems easy at first but reps pile up quickly…most pax made it up to 20 reps and some to 25 before mary called…sweat was everywhere. Great coffee time and much chatter about strava and segments and how fast some people are. Missed el Ab, indy, psycho, Deertick and others not named Backdraft.  Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday for the convergence…

Always an honor,

Fire Chicken
