5 men supported their friends and bros in the best way they knew how
WARM UP
Mosey down to the hops’ dock for
- SSH x 20
- Hillbilly x 10
- loose chg x 10
- arm circle
Mosey up Pinehaven to 4th street to start
THAT THANG
use 4th street as a base for an expanding box type workout
Corner of 4th street and Pinehaven- 4 burpees, then run down 4th to the other end of the road, which also happens to be Pinehaven for another 4 burpees
Then mosey down to 6th street to the corner for 6 WWII, mosey down 6th for 6 more WWII at Hops’ house, then back up to 4th street for burpees. Add the same at 8th street with 8 squats, and down to 10th street for 10 dry docks.
It was a lot of fun, a great beatdown with 3.75 miles.
We prayed, for the swimmers and for Anvil’s brother who just lost his MIL.
MOLESKIN
Solid beatdown, nearly 4 miles. Decent amount of reps, burpees, etc. Buzzkill hung back and did his own thing as he recovers from plantar, and Mayhem was discovered along the way as he missed us at the dock for the warmup, but we eventually joined forces. The swimmers crushed it per usual, including several members of our Pax, Bozeman,, LMU, Luthor, Mayweather, and Flyboy/Birdseed/ whatever we named PR’s son.
I’m glad to Q this beatdown every year because it’s the best way I think I can help the enterprise. Leading a workout and giving incentive to get a few more guy up the road to support the swimmers and lend a hand where needed, but mostly to talk junk and hang out and bring more people and awareness. I’m super proud of Bozey for starting the swim and Mayweather for starting the fund, and all the work that goes into the event. We hate that the fund has to exist, but it has to exist and many families will benefit. I’m honored to be affiliated with this group, to help in some small way, for these people, this cause. I just see this getting bigger and bigger. A hearty kudos to all who contributed, there are far too many Concord pax to name.
