COT – Numberama, Name-o-rama, Announcements YHC took us out.

NMS

From the comments made before we began our first mosey, it appeared that the PAX expected a workout with quite a bit of distance covered. Just before we started, Swirly requested a ground-and-pound workout because of the running that occurred at Spider Run the day before. To YHC’s surprise after the COT, Lugnut said that we covered less than 1 mile. YHC appears to have successfully delivered a ground-and-pound workout.

Today during the COP, YHC led the pax through 14 exercises which took about 10 minutes. Hardywood, running a few minutes late, was easily able to find the PAX. All he had to do was find the right circle where the PAX would likely be found. YHC’s long COPs started a few years ago. During YHC’s first year, my COPs were very predictable: SSHs, Don Quixotes, Arm Circles, Merkins, LBCs. They were so predictable that Lab Rat started calling out the exercises before YHC announced them. This embarrassment led YHC to make it unpredictable and a real rapid fire Circle of Pain with 12 to 15 exercises which has become normal for his Qs.

Outstanding job today PAX! Great seeing Lugnut at WDog as he continues his summer tour. Great job as well to Doublemint who already has posted to 5 AOs in 5 days including 2 on Monday. And well done to Offshore who has visited 16 of the 26 AOs during his tour.

Thank you as well to Hardywood for bring the energy to the COP. YHC’s voice was fading until he heard a familiar voice shouting out the count. Hardywood, you carried me through the last few exercises.
