Doors Nearly All Accounted For at SOT…

3 SOJ vets broke the hold and converged on SOT for another unseasonably mild morning.  The menu was full of Gumbo and here was today’s recipe:

Mosey down to the far bus lot for COP, including:

• DQs
• Helicopters
• Cotton Pickers
• Arm Circles
• Imperial Walkers
• LBCs
• Freddie Mercuries
• Hand Release Merkins

THANG

Triple Check 1

At corner of the school where the bench is – dips, flutter kicks and 3rd PAX member runs to far tree in the line, does 10 SSHs and runs back.  3 times each.

First set of Door Checks

Starting on the side of the school at door 5 and going through the “gauntlet” to door 18 — at each odd numbered door do squats x the number on said door.  At each even numbered door do box cutters x the number on the door. Stop at stairs down to the track.

Triple Check 2

From the sideline benches — step-ups, American Hammers and run up the steps and back down… x 3

Elevens with monkey humpers and LBCs and run up/down the stairs between each round.

Door Check #2

At the top of the stairs, starting at door #26 and working our way around to door #33 – do 2-ct mountain climbers at the even numbered doors x number on the door and do 2-ct flutter kicks at the odd numbered doors.

3 MOM, including Dollies, Rosalitas and Hold Six Inches.

COT, COR, NOR, and YHC took us out.

NMS:

For a few minutes this morning I thought I had a solo beatdown coming, but then Tobit rolled in and Mr. Roper shortly after.  I had planned to do a full tour of the doors today but scrapped that thinking I’d wait for a larger crowd to hear the displeasure.  After the first triple check I decided a dry run of some doors might be good.  The gauntlet will be as brutal as expected and when you get into the mid-twenties, everything sucks!  One day we will do the full tour…

Great job by the PAX today.  I realize (now really) that monkey humpers, step-ups and stairs are a terrible mix one after the other…I’m already hurting.  We focused mostly on legs and abs – the kind that will seize up and hurt around 2 pm today…you’re welcome!

Enjoyed the conversation as well.  Thanks for posting.

Until next time, no more Gumbo for you!
