My wife and daughters don’t use the exclamation point (more like a poop emoji or sad face), but YHC loves this time of year.
We started with 19 around the flag at the start and finished with 21 at the end to celebrate Magnum PI Day – I believe for the 4th time. Staches (real and fake) and Hawaiian shirts (in Smedium and midriff styles) abound. It was 21 degrees, but it of course felt 70 and sunny. What a great morning. Here is what transpired more or less:
Mosey to the COP circle and a lap around to warm up. Circle up for COP, including:
44 SSHs – 12/11/24 will be the 44th anniversary of the first Magnum PI episode
12 DQs (Higgin)
11 Helicopters (TC)
19 Magnum Merkins (Tempo – touch the Stache to the ground)
80 LBCs
5 Copperhead squats
8 Imperial Walkers
19 Alternating Shoulder Taps
8 Flutter Kicks
8 Box Cutters
(Last episode was 5/8/1988)
Amphitheater Work – 162 reps – 1 for each episode
9 squats on each step going down, Al Gore for SIX, 9 incline merkins on each step going up, Al Gore for SIX
Pass the Q to my stunt double. Mosey down traditional Love Hill through the darkness and debris down to the Pump House Road
Extra Long Love Hill
Partner up. One partner runs to a destination TBD (first the Toll house and then ultimately the road) and back to your partner. Other partners exercises. Swap and rinse and repeat until the top. Exercises were: bear crawl, Triple Jump (Apollo Ohno) Squats and Lunges. Regroup at the road and mosey toward the Flag.
PLT sets
Find a different partner for 4 (or 5) rounds of 20 PLTs – Left, Right, Center, Mix n Match, and just a 5th round of extras for those of us who finished early.
Mosey back to the flag and circle up
Ring of Fire – dealer’s choice of 3 merkins, IC or OYO, and all PAX do them.
Hawaiian Stretching
COT – Numbers, Names, Announcements, Prayers and YHC took us out.
Announcements:
- The Bridge next Saturday – Upchuck and others are going and looking to fill clown cars.
- Breaking Break – 12/28 is open. Who is going to step up?
- Rosie’s 12 days of Christmas – 12/17 at NoToll. Don’t miss!
- VQ for Woodsman 12/16 at Alamo
- See Slack about how you can support Gomer Pyle and Pigskin’s mission work with FOB
- Remembrance of Pearl Harbor and those who survived that day and served
NMS:
It was a great morning to get out and have some silly themed fun and look ridiculous at Libbie Market with staches and Hawaiian shirts. Seriously, though, it is a great excuse to get some guys out to Dogpile on Saturday that don’t normally get there – including YHC. Thanks for participating.
Prayers for all those suffering from injuries and illness.
Be well men. Enjoy the season and spread the joy.
