11 men answered the call this morning and are stronger for it.  It’s easy to sleep in, especially when it’s 33 degrees outside.  11 won the battle with themselves this morning.  Well done.

Today was wear your work shirt to boot camp day.  Verizon, Allstate, and Hendrick were well represented.  Piedmont plastics, Sedgwick, CMPD, Authentic Talent, USDA, and Cardinal Logistics were severely lacking.

This week promised to be less eventful than digging a forklift out of mud, but we were determined to give it a try.  Who reads back-blasts anyway?

After a quick run up the hill and back that a large group missed out on, we got started.  It went mostly like this.

Warm Up

SSH x 20, IST x 16, Windmill x 10, Mountain Climber x 20

The Thang

Partner up at Library lot

Combined count 100 squats.  One partner runs up hill and picks up count where other partner left off.

Repeato with combined 150 mericans.

Mosey up the hill again

50 Low Flutters

Mosey to the horseshoe at Henderson circle

40 Low Flutters

@Escalade was doing ‘Eeee-errs’, but once he heard properly that these were supposed to be low flutter, he corrected.

Catch me if you can with same partner

One partner does 3 burpees, other partner runs

After burpees, partner runs to catch up

@MetroDog and @Kojak were intentionally trying to make this difficult.  @Escalade and YHC didn’t catch them until half way through the circle.

Repeato on other side with 5 squats, then quadraphelia until other partner catches you

Mosey to the church at the end of Oakley

Listen up boys, it’s time for Welsh Dragons – you might not understand and YHC won’t say this twice

Welsh Dragon up to 5, 4 step bear crawl, increasing count plank jack & merican from 1 to 5

Suicide with 10 mericans at each ‘island’.  Or whatever you call it @Kojak.

Bear crawl from one island to the other, 20 low flutter, bear crawl back

Wheelbarrow from one island to the other, other partner wheelbarrow back

Mosey to picnic tables by old library with a few low flutter stops along the way

Partner combined 100 dips, other partner runs to library book bird box

Mosey to Heart Rate Hill

1 burpee at the bottom, run to the top until time is called

Mosey back to home base with stops along the way

Moleskin

Welcome back @HotSpot and @Calypso.  Surely the barber was impressed this morning @HotSpot with your manly aroma.  That’s what hard work smells like.
