YHC scheduled to help Q at the newly created AO in Locust NC.  It was a beautiful morning….the humidity broke, partly cloudy, nice breeze, everything about the morning was great.  However, the only person to show up by 0650 was my Q partner, Change Order.  Where is everyone?  This is such an awesome AO with lots of fields, playgrounds, hills, a creek – this place has so much to offer.

At 0701 rolls in Metrodog with his 2.0’s.  Everyone complaining that the other “made them late”.  No worries, at least you are here brothers, now where are all the other Sad clowns? All of the other Pax from the region?  All of the EH’s?  With a lack of attendance like this, Metrodog will have an uphill battle.  However, I am confident that with a little help, opportunity and time, this AO will be thriving. AYE!

at 0705 YHC said the lousy disclaimer with a little (really a lot) of help from Change order.  We moseyed into the park and circled up by the big ‘ol flag by the restroom building.  There we did a good warm-o-rama to try to get hose 2.0’s to wake up.  We did…

• SSH x10IC
• IST x10 IC
• Merkin x10 IC
• Mt. Climber x10 IC
• Windmill x10 IC
• Penny Picker x10 IC

The Thang
We moseyed over the awesome soccer field right behind us.  I mean, man, this thing was perfectly groomed, not soggy or wet and had a nice row of trees on the left side.  Ah, an idea! (you can see I did not have a plan but let the spirit move me).

Part 1

1. Line up on the goal line and bearcrawl to the first tree on your left.  Do 5 Burpees
2. Repeato with BC and 5 Burpees at each tree until at the other end.  
3. There are 7 trees 🙂

Turn around an then go back doing the following:

1.  Line up on the goal line and lunge walk to the first tree now on your right.  Do 10 LBC’s.
2. Repeato with LW and 10 LBC’s at each tree until at the other end.
3. Yep, 7 trees 🙂

Part 2

Now it was Change Order’s turn and he liked the soccer field so much we stayed there and he led us to do…

1.  Line up on the goal line for some tree suicides. Run to 1st tree, do 10 merkins, run back.  Run to 2nd tree do 10 merkins, run back.
2. Repeato to the end….did I mention there were 7 trees 🙂

The fun was not over, got to go back, right?

1. Line up on the goal line and crabwalk to the other side, stopping at each tree for 10 WWI’s.
2. Do I have to say it?…..okay…7 trees 🙂

Part 3

Change Order was having so much fun that he spotted a playground at the school right next store to the field.  He led us on a mosey over there for the following:

• 10 modified Donkey Kicks using the swings (more of a core exercise) with your feet on the swing seat while holding a plank, then pull your knees in and back out out
• 5 pull ups
• continue until time is called

Part 4 (fun for the 2.0’s)

My turn again so I took the Pax on a tour over to the Officer Jeff Shelton playground.  We followed Stealth (Metro’s 2.0) by jumping over the creek (this is hard as you get older in age, believe me) and we ended up by the other playground.  Here we used the playground equipment and exercise stations for a little fun

1. 2 Pax get on the stationary bikes and 2 Pax get into the Police car spring bouncer.
2. Everyone pedals and bounces until the “timer” pax gets back from running around the playground.
3. Everyone then shifts down one position until everyone has been the “timer”

Finale

1. 2 Pax on opposite sides of the rock wall, the rest of the Pax find someplace to do dips
2. When the Pax on wall finish their climb, they rotate with 2 Pax doing dips.

Mosey to the flags for some Mary.  Change Order led us for some…

• Low Dolly x10 IC
• Rosalita x10 IC
• V-sit thingy with pulsing arms x10 IC
• Oblique crunch L/R x10 IC

Announcements

1. This is a great AO.  We need more F3MECA support out here on Saturday to peak the interest of the Sad Clowns in this area.  Metrodog has his work cut out for him.  Let’s all pull together and help our brother, AYE!
2. Highland will host Q school Sept 16th at 5:30 am at the Highland Creek Golf course parking lot

COT – Change Order brought us out today with a great bible verse on humility and patience.  In essence, the chaos we see in the world today is dictating that men need to be strong, combative, defensive, loud and arrogant.  Couldn’t be farthest from the truth.  Force yourself to be more like Jesus: humble, kind, patient and loving.  Jesus is the ultimate #HIM. AYE!

Moleskine
