Surf and Turf and Yard Sale posted on a beautiful Friday morning for a hot potato. Surf N Turf warmed us up. We did 11’s and 4 Corners with us each choosing some exercise. Namarama, Numberama and Surf N Turf took us out with a prayer.

MOLESKIN
As YHC posed the question for a traditional workout or some games, Blue Moon was the lone holdout for traditional F3, while the majority was all in for some fun. Due to the PAX’s ineptitude many merkins and squats were performed, nonetheless. YHC isn’t much of a pitcher so the homer tally was few, but kudos to Trout and Spit for showing real power. Anyone know the precise measurement of water for a regulation bottle flip? Asking for a friend. Thanks for the warm welcome. Keep touring.

2.0 workout at DaPile tomorrow 0700

Coupon Creek
Two SOJ usurpers stamped passports, hopped a clown car, and after hours of quality mumble chatter landed their craft safely at The Creek. They were greeting by five fierce natives of the north lands who resisted the takeover until they were placated with gifts of latex-dipped gloves. The wild northmen then gaped in awed silence at the gifts of coupons emerging from the aforementioned craft, and solemnly each warrior accepted a token of good will. Here’s what two bewildered deer witnessed:

The THANG:
WARMERAMA:
- Each member of the PAX directed to collect a unique heavy item – the options were: 40# GTE team weight (rocks in a duffle), 60# sandbag, 30# ruck, 50# kettlebell, 25# metal track plate, another #40 GTE team weight, 30# kettle bell

PLANKORAMA INTERMISSION:
- Halfway though 11’s, PAX directed to circle up
- Name the man to your left, but x5 merkins if you mess up …whispered cheating ABOUNDED so merkins awarded at the end
- Remain in plank to quiz PAX on the Mission, Credo, and 5CP’s. Maaaaaany more merkins awarded…
COP #2:

Mosey BTTF for COT:
- Counterama # 7

- Announcerama (see Below)
- YHC took the PAX out in Prayer
NMS: Awesome to have LWoods SOJ company for the takeover this morning – MUCH appreciated brother! This was YHC’s 6th post and 4th Q for the week, and as a result, A) YHC is hurting all over, and B) YHC knows the well is not yet dry. You don’t know what you’re capable of until you try! And well, YHC tries hard… (emoji sunglasses smiling face here). Thanks to our Daville brothers trying something new with a few coupons today. Not a lot of running, but it felt as much like a ruck as a bootcamp, so the burn was good. Keep posting fellas! Yours AYE! ~DTH

Is it 5:30 yet?
The Q woke up at 5:30 but I thought arriving at 5:39 was pretty good. After a circle around the school I found the pax at the playground doing a triple check. I assume they warmed up with out me and it sounds like they spent time in the gazebo and did some parking lot tracers. I finished up the triple check with he pax and took over with a modified wilt. We did a 4 corners with the following exercises: lbc, heels to heaven, lunges and monkey humpers. The first and second times around the circle we did 40 of each exercise and the last we did 20. Mosey to the parking lot. Ring of Fire in plank position – 10 merkins for each pax member. We did boat – canoes to finish it out. Numberams, Namarama, Spit took us out with a prayer. It was a great morning – thank you guys! SYITG
