25 PAX gleefully piled out of their cars early to enjoy the beautiful Spring morning. Ollie and Bartman finished some EC rucking and Riptide checked with QIC to see if he’d be able to stick with the PAX or go it alone on his bum ankle. It was determined he’d stay back at the church and watch the cars while the rest of us made the most of our compasses.
WARM UP
Run to Fidelity, circle up for SSH, Mountain Climbers, Merkins, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers. Count off 1s and 2s.
THE THANG
1’s were instructed to run SOUTH down Academy to the front of the Baptist church. Once there, as a group do 20 merkins, then return to the bank. 2’s would stay at the bank and do laps using the concretes boxes, first time we bunny-hopped between the boxes, then Box Jump up and back down the other side. Continue until you complete an entire revolution, then plank it out till 1s come back. FLAPJACK.
Next round: 1’s run WEST to rock pile, do 20 Curls, 20 Triceps extensions, 20 rock rows as a group and then return to the bank. 2’s Lunge Walk between the boxes, Box jump up and back down the other side. This time…continue until 1’s return. FLAPJACK.
Third round: 1’s run EAST to Walker Street, as a group do 20 squats in cadence, then loop back via the church lot. 2’s did bear crawls between the boxes, while Box Jumping up and down the other side. Continue until 1’s return. To YHCs surprise, the 1’s came back with a pet. “Can we keep him?” McCants pleaded. YHC couldn’t resist Riptide’s puppy-dog eyes…”Yeah, McCants…we can keep him. But if he poops in the house, I swear to….” …FLAPJACK.
Quick interlude for 20 Dips, 15 Irkens, and 10 Derkins with everybody
Last Round: 1’s run NORTH to the far end of Ambassador Loop, get a partner and do 10 Brokeback Merkins (where the guy on the bottom does the merkins), and run back to the bank. 2’s went back to bunny-hopping between the boxes, Box Jump up and then back down the other side. Continue until 1’s return.
On your six for a quick 20-count, IC, of LBC’s. Time to head back to the Church. But wait…what about our pet? Alright fine, I guess we’ll carry him back. For those of you not carrying a pet, grab a partner and carry him.
Stop at the Billy Run line, split into two groups, and…GO! Then…GO!

- Chanticleer was back in the gloom just a few days after M.Chanticleer brought the 3rd 2.0 into this world. Who needs sleep, anyway?
- A very sassy PAX this morning. Everyone was feeling plucky, I guess, due to the warmer temps.
- It also impaired the PAX’s ability to listen to instructions.
- Though, that’s not terribly uncommon.
- I had a plan today. I got a lot of crap for not covering more ground last week at FOD, so I made sure we’d cover some ground today. Got about 2 miles in.
- Freebird paid YHC a compliment on the Qplan today. My initial reaction was to tell him to shut up and keep his sass to himself.
- But it was a legitimate compliment. YHC doesn’t receive those often. Didn’t know how to react.
- Ummm. Thank you?
- I should have told Riptide that we’d be at the Bank the entire time. That way he could have joined us and posted up at the Bank for his DL workout. I was happy the PAX brought him into the fold.
- Riptide was NOT a happy camper when I made the PAX carry him back to the church.
- “No, seriously, Cally, I can walk myself back to….” “NOOOPE! C’mon boys, let’s bring him home!”
- True confessions – Old Maid stinks. Not my words. He said it himself.
- Big shout to my Assistant Q’s today – Freebird, Sky Blue, Blue-and-out, and a few others. I wanted to share the cadence-counting love today. Maybe a few of you will like to step up to the plate and knock a Q outta the park soon?
- Freebird is Q’ing DP on Friday morning.
- Yeah, cool story bro. Let me know when you wanna Q in the Big Leagues. DZ has a few open slots in a month or two (we’re just so popular, ya dig?)
- I enjoyed the larger crowd this morning. It’s always good to see our group grow and get stronger. Way to go, men!
- See you in the gloom.
