10 Completely Stupid and Utterly Pointless Thrill Seekers decided to get wet this morning with not just sweat, but rain water and river water. After all boats had captains at 0500, the task force steamed over to the North Bank of the mighty James River.
Paddle up the little creek to our new beach area and waddle up the sand dunes for:
COP:
Dead Man Hang, Reach for the Sky, Helicopters, DQ’s, Sand Merkins, LBC’s, Flutter Kicks, Sandy Scorpion Kicks 🙂
5 Burpees OYO
TRIPLE CHECK:
Using the three coupons that were collected on the voyage over, we did:
Partner 1: Carolina Dry Docks
Partner 2: Squats
Partner 3 (Timer): Carry coupon Hallelujah-style across the knee, then waist, then shoulder deep creek and back!
Three rounds, of course.
Lunge Walk 50 yards back to the boats, stopping on the way for 5 more Burpees. Go ahead and do your burpees in the water, Machismo 🙂
Hop back in boats and head out of the creek into the main river for:
INTERVAL PADDLING:
60 seconds on Hard Paddling upriver/30 seconds light paddle
10 minutes of this. Time is now 0545. Gather together and spend a minute of silently reflecting, praying, meditating. Turn to the American Flag on the South Bank and recite the Pledge of Allegiance out loud.
15 minute paddle/float at your own pace back to the landing! No pretty sunrise this year.
Circle up on the landing for 5 more Burpees OYO. Time!
COT:
Numbers, Names, Announcements, Pictures and Upchuck to us out!
NMS:
What a fun time this morning, Men! We knew we were going to get wet, but that did not slow us down or make it suck. The new beach wasn’t too bad to workout on compared to the old beach the first couple of years. No one flipped over this year like last year, but there were a couple of near full immersions with cinder blocks that occurred. The rain didn’t get heavy until the float back, but who cares, we were already wet.
Thanks for coming out this morning, gentlemen! This will be done again in June 2024 as close to the Summer Soltice, as possible.
Happy Summer, everyone!
SYITG!
