As YHC was doing his biweekly calendar review, he realized his Q next week would more than likely coincide with the birth of his second child. Not ideal timing… so an audible was called. After some last-minute coordination with Snuff, who graciously provided both the speaker and a perfectly dialed-in space-themed playlist, a new plan emerged, a space-themed beatdown in honor of the Artemis lunar mission.
After a thorough warm-a-rama, the PAX moseyed to the amphitheater where we “took off”, rolling the dice to determine our fate, then immediately cashing it in with box jumps up the stairs and a lap around the amphitheater.
From there, we pushed onward to Mt. Chaplin, ascending higher using a variety of “transport methods”, everything from bear crawls to crab walks, broad jumps to Bernie Sanders. Each climb ended with merkins at the summit, as if the elevation alone wasn’t enough.
We finished with a light pole run, adding merkins at each stop, and circled up for core work, each man calling his own ab exercise to close out the mission. We ended with a great coffeerama about Impact and the people we touch in our lives.
