11 mighty fine and prime HIMs showed out at Satan’s Hill today!

0530 launched us directly into an indigenous people’s run towards the back of the neighborhood where the trailing PAX hit one burpee before running ahead to take the lead. After 5 minutes of running we pulled over into a cul-de-sac for a full warmarama. Repeato IPR back to the flag for the start of COP 1.

COP 1 – EMOM15

  • Each Minute, On the Minute perform:
  • xSSH, xSquats, xMerkins, run to the end of the parking lot and back.
  • Started with one rep for each movement, then added a rep with each minute working up to 15-minutes.
  • Minute 7 is where it started to get spicy for YHC and it felt like we were continually running shuttles with no break by the end!

Slowzy to the bottom of the parking lot to pick up a rock while keeping an eye out for any snakes. After a few minutes of active rest holding our rocks in different ways while catching our breath, we lined up along the curb line on our six for COP 2.

COP 2 – American Hammer Relay

  • Rocks at the ready and sitting shoulder-to-shoulder we shuttled the rocks down the line to the right. The HIM at the back of the line got up and ran to the end of the line to receive a rock and keep the train going.
  • On the way back heading left, someone (Wildcat is the lead suspect) yelled “SNAKE!” and a black string flew through the air and into Crabgrass’ lap, at which point everyone sitting around him, including YHC, panicked! Panic quickly turned to laughter as we returned our rocks and time was called.

COT – Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayer Requests, YHC took us out.
