10 men showed up to get some work in before the long holiday weekend. Summer was still very much present as the humidity was high and so was the moral. It stays darker longer these days in the am and that could have had an effect as we traipsed through the wooded hills of North Cary Park in all of it glory…but it didn’t…here is what happened.

Jog down to basketball court. 15xgood mornings, 12x wide arm merkeins, 12x imperial walkers. enough of that.

Jog down to shelter. grab your favorite bench. 15x dips, 15x irkens, 15x dips, 12x irkens. Jog out and down to the long bridge on the right. Partner up. 1’s bearcrawl across this very long bridge. 10xmerkin at the other side. Lungewalk back across the bridge. 2’s 20x lbc,20 count low slow flutter. Flapjack. “this time”, 1’s bearcrawl again across 15x merkin on the other side, lungewalk back. 2’s 20 count plank, 20x lbc. Flapjack. again with 1’s out only halfway on bearcrawl, sprint the rest. 15x merkin on the other side. lungewalk halfway back, sprint. 2’s 20x dying cockroach, 20x lbc. Flapjack.

Jog down to the long set of stairs, head all the way to bottom and to observation deck/platform. 1’s up the long stairs touching each one. 15x merkins at the top and back down. 2’s 15x dips, 15x irkins.  “this time”, back up again and 15x irkins at the top and back down. 2’s 20x dying cockroach, 20xhammers. Flapjack.

Jog down to other long bridge. 1’s bearcrawl across and 15x merkins and sprint back. 2’s 10xwide arm merkins, 15x lbc’s. Flapjack. Again, bearcrawl to halfway, and lung walk the rest, sprint back. 2’s American hammers until your 1 arrives. Flapjack. Indian run back up the very long hill to start.

COT and prayers.

Great work today. Franklin was none too impressed with the lack of creativity but this was a day of repetition and grit. Lots of bearcrawls and lots of merkins. Great work by all today and especially Brisket. That man doesn’t give up and is getting better all the time. Proud to lead a mean group of guys. You have come along way……Have a great holiday weekend.
