A Pleasant Surprise – 2022-06-18

AO: Terminus
QiC: MARTA
Pax Count: 5
Pax List: Flathead, MARTA, Tofu
FNG Count: 0
Downrange: Bayou (Columbia), Runt (Columbia)

Warm up:

3 lonely summer soldiers arrived & began with 20 SSH, 12 hillbillies, 10 Don Qs, 10 weed pickers, 10 low slow squats, 10 merkins, 10 mtn climbers, 12 imp walkers, and 20 SSH (all IC).

YHC had a specific beat down planned, but with only 3 PAX he was planning to save that for a later date and do a little improv today….until right as we finished our warmup, our 2 highly entertaining downrage friends arrived. Back to plan A

The Thang:

Mosey halfway around meadow to stairs. Get the legs going with some varied sets of VCR. 10 regular, 10 toes in, 10 toes out, 10 right leg, 10 left leg (all IC)

Mosey to mini stonehenge (?)/little bridge near pool for 3 sets of derkins and dips on the wall: 10, 12, and 15 reps

Mosey to og stonehenge (someone correct me on these names please if necessary) for 3 sets of step ups (double count) & BBSUs: same as before with 10, 12, 15 reps

Now those first few stops were just a bit improvised, now it was time for the main event. Mosey to Oak hill for a little Crowd Pleaser. Starting at bottom of hill, one exercise is done representative of each letter (not truly an acronym, and alliteration is NOT the right word fellow PAX). After the exercise is done, sprint to the top of the hill for LBCs, then mosey back to the bottom. The next round you add a letter/exercise etc. until you’re finally at round 5 with 5 letters/exercises completed.
C – merkins

R – stone mtn merkins/Carolina dry docks

O – raise the roof/air presses

W – overhead claps

D – hand release merkins

First two trips up 20 LBCs at top, then 25, then 30, then 50.

Mosey back to start to finish with 3 min of plank (total of 30 sec each side, 2 min regular)

CoT:

Encouragement from Runt to push each other spiritually as well as physically.

Prayers for YHC’s sister-in-law as she recovers from major back surgery.

A great coffeeteria enjoyed by all.
