    Great morning for a workout. Also great to see Mustang back out.

    SPIT ON THAT!!

  • Oh yeah.

    6 guys showed up to get it on a nice Friday morning.

    Here is what happened (what I recollect)

    A couple of Triple checks… 🙂

    Opus

  • Virgin in the Eye of the Storm

    Popped my VQ today, in a tropical storm no less. Theme: AB day with two new competitive games (Scrabble and “Around the World”) because, after all, TGIF.

    COP #1: Abs

    • After perimeter school warm up jog: General Ab 10 count warm ups followed by 4 corners [ 10 atomic situps, 20 Freddies, 30 LBCs, 40 F-kicks ]

    COP #2: Team-Scrabble

    • I had pre-positioned a small bucket with all of the scrabble letters I could find in my house. Demo’d the bucket, then ran the PAX to the other side of the school and divide teams of 2. One buddy stays in plank position at the dry spot while other buddy runs in the rain to grab a random letter. He brings it back to the word tray. Switch. Goal is to spell just a 3-letter word – per dictionary rules of course – and the team with the highest point score once all teams had a word was exempt from 20 WWIIs. Plan to explain this more clearly and extend to 4 and 5 letter words in the future.

    COP #3: Around the World

    • At the blacktop, I had pre-positioned one pickleball. Would be better if it glowed in the dark, as this really tested PAX night vision in a storm. 3 on one side, 3 on the other side. Goal: chuck the pickelball as hard as you can to get it past Pax 1 on other team – then Run the perimeter to other side. If Pax 1 catches it, game continues and he chucks it back to Pax 2, then runs. Around the world continues until someone misses. If so, everyone drops for 10 WWIIs (or choose your poison) EXCEPT the victorious thrower who gets to gloat. We were soaked. Mr. Holland made me type that he defeated us all with two successful throws past pax.

    COT: Trail Mix is on the hunt for part time work on weekends or any time. Shout out what you got.

    Opus took us out.
