YHC’s 2.0 has been singing Christmas carols all week and the 12 days of Christmas has been stuck in my head. YHC planned a Christmas in July pyramid workout, realizing although it feels like July it is only May. It went something like this:

Warm-up:

• Mosey around the lot
• SSH IC x 20
• Arm circles
• Non-clapping cotton pickers IC x 10
• IST IC x 10

The thing:

Indian run with 2 merkin penalty around the soccer field loop. YHC wanted to check out the back picnic structure that we haven’t used yet or at least not in my memory. It had lights, which unfortunately meant it also had some creepy crawlies and plenty of humidity.

Pyramid workout, on the way up exercise in order, on the way down we only had time for the odd numbers. At this point YHC gets Tubthumping in his head from a previous beatdown and ruins his Christmas vibe.

1. Burpee
2. Step ups
3. Decline merkins
4. Plank ups
5. Dips
6. Flutter kicks
7. Jump squats
8. LBCs
9. Dry docks
10. Apollo Ohnos

Mosey to the playground and swings. Split up. Group 1 does 10 pull ups while group 2 does RBCs with the swings (been wanting to do that for months, but hard to get a Q slot around here). Total of 3 sets. We didn’t make it to 12 exercises earlier because I wanted to do the swing RBCs.

Mary:

• Flutter kicks IC x 20
• Crunchy frog IC  x 15
• WWIIs x 10 oyo
• Pretzel crunch IC x 10 each side
• 1.5 minute plank
• 1 minute abs/Habs series

COT/Shield Lock

• Prayers for @Pharaoh’s knee surgery tomorrow
• Possible Laurel Park triathlon this summer, date TBD
• Great push by our newest Pax, Chucky and Patagonia
• Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
