YHC had a plan until YHC realized it was too dark! Everything worked out. GREAT chatter this morning. God Bless.

QIC was having a motivational crisis this morning and was a minute late.

We left the kb’s at the curb and went to the school entrance to warm up. Warm up included Arm Circles, Don Keyote’s, Side Straddle Hops and Helicopters.

We headed to the parking lot for a tabata. The tabata included: calf raises on the curb, sit up presses, pullovers, goblet squats, planks, balls to the wall, calf raises at flag poles, boat canoe’s and curls for the ladies.

Time was up. Numberama, Namarama, and a prayer by Wild Thing.

DTH took us out

Final Thoughts: Had a great time getting back up to Daville and posting at MANNdate for the first time. Solid effort by all the PAX on a hot and humid day. SOJ takeover is in full effect and a couple of us, including YHC will probably be making the trek back up on Friday.

3 men showed up to help YHC celebrate his post birthday bash at MANNdate. This is how it went down on a pleasant spring morning.

COP: SSH x 52 in honor of YHC’s birthday, LBC’s, alabama prom dates, arm circles, DQ’s, Imperial walkers, helicopters

Mosey with KB to drop off loop for oval time. Four corners/curves, different exercise each spot: lawnmowers, 5×10, each arm, demon crushers, 5×10, American Hammers, 5×10, single leg squats, 5×5, each leg.

Back to start of loop, start walking around the loop, every 20 steps switch to a new exercise, never stop walking. Exercises were: halos, around the worlds, tricep extension with both arms, don’t drop the soap.

Find a curb, time for 11’s, situp press and calf raises, only had time for a few sets of these.

COT, numberama, namerama, YHC took us out.

NMS

It’s been a while since I Q’d, and very few so far this year. Felt great to come up with something new like walking around the loop while doing exercises, which we all concluded pretty much sucked, so it’s sure to show up in the future at MANNdate. Great mumblechatter this morning, though we did for some reason start off with talk about bank mergers, thankfully moved on quickly to more entertaining topics, though at this hour YHC cannot remember any of them. Prayers this morning for the families in Texas, and our fervent hope is that these tragedies don’t keep happening.

We talked about getting together for a 3rd F event in the early part of June, perhaps for a golfing outing. Let’s make it happen!

As usual, I have No Idea what I’m doing…

4 Davilians and 1 member of the Tuckahoe Takeover team headed to MannDate to experience a good beat down. At 5:28 and 5:29 the Davilians showed up and we were ready to go.
