945

Four studs, representing 945 (now 949) posts this year, assembled for the penultimate workout of 2021. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According to the Subaru driving ladies using the pavilion, the following likely happened:

5:28 Saab calls Hot Potato

5:30 Launch by running around the Grove side of the school to Saab’s favorite warm-up spot.

5:31 COP. Helicopters, Dead Man Hang, Arm Circles, Russian Soldiers Imperial Walkers, Merkins

5:37 Lindsey. 2 trees up, and one tree back. Merkins and WWIIs.

5:48 Handshake Q. Mosey to corner of Grove and Westmoreland. Handshake reminded the PAX that the “block” has “corners” (and four of them). The PAX used those corners to do: 10 burpees, 20 merkins, 30 WWIIs, 40 Carolina Dry Docks.

5:52 Mosey to the track, find the wall of plastic edging, and do 30 dips

5:58 Hitchhiker Q. Mosey to the tennis courts for 4 corners. 10 merkins, run a full lap plus run to 2nd corner, 20 Copperhead Squats, run a full lap plus run to 3rd corner, 30 LBCs, run lap plus to 4th corner, 40 side-straddle hops.

6:03 UpChuck Q. Mosey to where we are. Catch Me if You Can. Three PAX crawl bear along fence surrounding tennis courts. 4th PAX does 5 reverse crunches, then chases. Each PAX picks one man to tag. Don’t pick anyone who has been tagged previously.

6:04 – 6:07 Gripe about this exercise. It’s hard.

6:08 Finish griping. Mosey to blacktop. Realize there are 6 minutes left.

6:09 Mosey BTTVSF for Mary.

6:10 – 6:13 Mary. American Hammers and Rosalitas (x40 each).

6:12:05 TYA appeared.

6:12:08 TYA disappeared. Definition of LIFO (Last In, First Out). It’s You vs. You, so at his age, YHC counts this as a post. Push yourself…yada, yada, yada.

6:13 Yoga for the remainder. Thanks Chum for introducing YHC to the magic of stretching at the end of a Beat Down.

6:15 Time.

Numbers, names, YHC took us out.

Nice work today, fellas. Just the right amount of push for the end of the year. Solid Coffeeteria as well.

Counting TYA, today’s PAX included 5 men for 1124 workouts and 187 Q’s (prior to today). Figures do not include the backblasts that TYA has not (yet) written. Nicely done this year, gentlemen. Average of 225 (now 226) workouts per man.
