For a number of reasons, YHC had been looking forward all week to the Arena. As always, it didn’t disappoint.
A Pax of 19 stared down the mid 90 degree afternoon temperature and pushed themselves. It was almost 16 as CW, PP and YHC arrived to the courtyard 2 minutes late and found the pax already circled up for warm-ups being led by VV and PH. Things are changing, back in the day it took 15 minutes to round up the HT PAX and get started.
After the warm up which got the sweat really rolling we moseyed over the field near the volleyball court for 10 to 40. Exercise is called in cadence then a trip across the field and back for next exercise.
10 burpees
15 star jumps
20 nipplers
25 merkins
30 ski Abs
40 prisoner Squats
Back to the courtyard to the wall for:
Step ups x15
Irchins x20

-Congrats to Eli, Rubble and Billhilly for earning their shirts.
-Welcome FNGs Fry Daddy and Red Cross (he gave blood earlier in the day)
-Countrywide has a new ride, its comfortable but YHC is not sure about the cool air seat vents.
-YHC had Vector V beat at the half way point in a race around the Mary circle, then took a dive into the pine needles. YHC didn’t want to see the young gun hanging up his F3 shoes.
-Peach pit is the official timer of the Arena, he doesn’t like overtime.
Announcements: A sign up sheet for rides to the 9-11 stair climb will be passed around Healing Transitions, the boys are excited about it.
Prayer requests and testimonials were made and White Whale took us out appropriately.
YHC is grateful for the Arena and the men of HT allowing us to be part of their walk and them a part of ours.
