YHC dreamed up a little trip down memory lane for the fine men of Mint Hill, MECA and A51 who came to Piledrive this morning to start their week off right.  Flashback time:

Mosey around parking lot to get blood moving and pick up any stragglers (Capri, where are you?)
COP
Disclosure
SSH – 20IC
8-count Merkins – 10IC (Oh, there you are, Capri)
IW – 10IC
Hillbilly – 10IC
Squat – 10IC
Smurf-Jack – 10IC

Main Thang:
Mosey to base of low hill leading to volleyball court for some 7s.

• Backward bear-crawl up, mosey down. 1 Smurf-jack at bottom, 6 diamond merkins at top, 2/5, etc
• Frog hop up, mosey down. CDD @ bottom, squat  jump @ top
• Speed skater up, mosey down. Dead bug @ bottom, burpie @ top.  Bit of levitational Plank-o-rama from Capri for the Larry Birds.

Mosey to playground gym.  Form two teams.  Not a race (safety first).

• Up and over on monkey bars along sides,
• dips on platforms,
• supine pullups,
• CDD with feet on perimeter plastic edging,

Timekeeper is up&over, all rotate when he is done.  As many rounds as we can in 5 minutes.

Quick mosey to baseball field, partner up.  P1 drags P2 home:1^st, flapjack 1^st :  2^nd etc

Back to parking lot (out of the road) for Mary:
LBC – 10IC
1-leg flutter – 10IC
Other-leg flutter – 10IC
Slow-mo bike – 40CivCt
Flip, honeymooner to stretch
Back on 6
Banana for 10-count

COT (quick relo due to some toxic fumes)

Announcements:

Capri on Q for Pain Academy and Running Bear (apparently he didn’t realize/remember).

Moleskin
From childhood, guys have always loved any chance to play with their buddies, and this morning was just such a chance.  We had some crawling (which wore out YHC worse than expected – #modifyasneeded), played on the jungle gym (Q’s fav), ran the bases (sort of) and rode bikes (not really).
Burpies still suck, but maybe just a little less with some fun/new stuff as distractions.
Sorry for the word fail during Mary.  YHC’s is running on about half the normal weekend’s sleep and just happy to be able to move.  We’ll work on speaking later.
Interesting bit of Plank-o-rama as Capri said to squat, or something, then plank. (lost already) Right leg up, then right hand up, but from a Superman position. Once we figured out that he meant your other right hand, things got a better. Nobody tried the “both hands” call. Good mumble-chatter recovery after a three rounds of 7s on the hill.
Excellent work all around.  While YHC doesn’t like to be the six, it lifts my spirits to see the iron sharpening going on (#ISI).
Thanks for the take-out, Capri.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
