Nine men showed up at Mallard Creek Community Park this morning for a knock down, flip over, drop you on your ass beatdown courtesy of @Disaster. Here’s how it all went down.

THE THANG

Today’s theme was an old @Colonel Mustard favorite, the Three Man Grinder. The PAX was split up into three teams of three for several different rounds of fun as follows:

1. Mosey over to the big hill by the soccer field. Partner One does burpees at the top, Partner Two does WW2 sit ups at the bottom. Partner Three runs. Rotate through six full sets, with bear crawls up the hill on the first three and quadraphilia up the hill on the last three.
2. Mosey over to the paved road. Partner One does squats at the top. Partner Two does merkins at the bottom. Partner Three runs. Rotate through three full sets.
3. Mosey over to the picnic shelter. Partner One does step ups at the top. Partner Two does lunges at the bottom. Partner Three runs. Rotate though three full sets.
4. Mosey over to the rock pile for a break from the grinders and grab a rock. Rotate through two full sets of ten with curls, overhead press, skull crushers, and dead lifts, rotating one rock to the right each time. Throw the rocks back because the ‘Q’ didn’t get such skinny arms by doing three sets.
5. Mosey up to the elementary school for one last set of grinders. Partner One does Carolina Dry Docks. Partner Two does reverse crunch. Partner Three runs. Rotate through three full sets, with backwards runs to station two. Disclaimer – those backwards runs require a lot more coordination than you might think so be careful out there.
6. We gave @Sandman a head start up the hill and then had a jail break to catch up. Unfortunately he heard us coming and led the PAX on a bit of a wild goose chase.
7. Mosey to the split rail fence. 20 dips on the second rail followed by 20 inclined merkins on the second rail. Repeato.
8. We gave @Hammer a head start back down the hill but when he started to sprint it was quite a challenge to catch up with him on the jailbreak. Luckily @Konak was born in 1998 and had the endurance the rest of us old guys were lacking.
9. Jailbreak back to the six and then mosey to the parking lot for Mary.

MOLESKIN

1. Security has gotten a lot tighter at MCCP, with several new gates and fences installed recently. @Hammer spotted a new sign on the picnic shelter forbidding putting “balls on the buildings” so we had to eliminate the BTTW segment of the beatdown. @Pavarotti claimed to have spotted a new sign forbidding declined merkins so we cancelled those as well. One of those men was lying.
2. After three years you would think YHC would have the backwards run down pat but I took quite a tumble in the Elementary School parking lot when my feet got crossed up. My wrist is pretty swollen this afternoon but luckily nothing appears to be broken. In other news I didn’t have to explain to @Konak how I got my nickname.
3. We were blessed with some cloud cover and a nice breeze today which was a welcome relief from the brutal temperatures and humidity that plagued MECA all week. Thanks God.
4. Triple header today with Coffeteria at 8AM followed by F3 Dads at Rolling Stone at 9AM. Thanks to the Stoners for entertaining the 2.0’s with roughly 1000 water balloons this morning. It was quite the battle out there.
5. Some interesting CSAUP planning going on at coffeteria today. Keep an eye out for a fun event that may be occurring this fall.
6. Murph Monday coming up on June 25 at the Highland Creek Sports Club at 530AM. Show up to show your respect for Lt. Michael Patrick Murphy and the rest of the armed forces who are out there protecting our freedom every day.
7. Thanks to everyone who posted today. We had a 1 in 3 chance of getting even teams this morning but we nailed it.
8. FYI – The Sign Up Genius at #Highlands is looking pretty empty so please sign up to ‘Q’ if you haven’t done it in a while. This is a self-led exercise group and it doesn’t work unless you do your part. If I can do it anyone can.
