8 beasts of the gloom appeared at 45MOM for a summer serving of Gumbo. It was extra sticky and a little spicy this morning. 0530 time to Mosey – wait, TYA forgot to wind the grandfather clock last night and is running a little late so we circled back for him…and Hitch…ok, now we are off to the blacktop.
COP – proper start with slow Abe Vigoda DQs, followed by a bevy of other exercises and much mumblechatter. Truly no better way to start the morning.
Ok – main event
Proper Dora
Partner up at the school end of the blacktop. 1 Partner runs to the fence and Bernie back, Partner 2 does 1 merkin, 2 jump squats and 3 WWIIs – that’s 1. Audible to make the run to the fence twice and back to give Partner 2 time to actually do a few Proper Doras. Completed about 5 rounds and most teams did 50 Proper Doras.
400 IM Relays
Mosey over to the tennis courts for some relays. Break into two groups of 4.
First relay = run, buttkickers, karaoke, skip-jumps. down and back to the end of the court in your specific method while the other 3 plank.
Second relay = same methods but PAX change what their specialty is. PAX hold six inches while waiting at the starting block.
Third relay = crawl bear, bear crawl, crab walk, walk crab? Only to end of first court. PAX Al Gore.
4 Corners
Around tennis courts – 10 merkins, 20 SSHs, 30 2-ct mountain climbers, 40 squats
5 MOM
Mosey back to the parking lot for 5 Minutes of Mary, including Dolly, Rosalita, Flutter Kicks, American Hammers and APDs
COT, Numbers, Names and Prayers
NMS – what a great morning. We had a visitor from South Charlotte (Limey) and a talkative bunch. We discussed in detail Bodos’s latest bike accident with thanks that he is ok and also prayers that he hears the message loud and clear – NO MORE BIKE TRAVEL. But, the best moment (or at least best visual) of the day had to be Saab doing skip jumps. If only we had that on video. Then I might be able to get the Bodos summer camp video out of my brain.
Great morning gents. Thanks for being there.
