YHC was almost ready to kick off a solo beatdown when Flip Phone came in hot at 5:29. I thought he was going to catch some air pulling in to the park like he did. There were two of us so my plans of an abbreviated workout and Mary with coffee were dashed so we started.

The Workout:
We headed in to the tennis courts for a Crab Boil. This is one of my favorite routines. Started at the side line of the first tennis court and crab walked to the same line on each subsequent court. At the first stop we did 10 crab cakes, at the second we did 10 crab humpers, and at the third we did 10 crab jacks.
Once complete we did a quick set of 20 calf raises before moseying to the corner with rocks. We each picked out a rock for two different sets of four corners.
First set, which consisted of two laps.
Rock corner – 10 curls and 10 tris
Second corner – 10 no surrenders
Third corner – 10 merkins
Fourth corner – 10 sumo squats
The second set, another two laps.
Rock corner – 10 rut rows and 10 overhead press
Second corner – 10 LBC
Third corner – 10 Carolina dry docks
Fourth Corner – 10 American Hammers
Once complete we headed to a short part of the big hill for a set of 7s with star jumps at the bottom and dips on the guard rail at the top.
Mary:

Oblique LBC right and left x10 IC each
Homer to marge x10 IC

Really appreciate Flip Phone for coming out and helping keep me accountable. An honor as always.

Neighbors New and Old
/in Nutcracker/by UTII texted ahead to Flanigan the night before. I didn’t want to just assume that I had the Q, not sure if one of the regulars had called dibs. He said it was all mine.
I parked in the lot a little earlier than I might have normally. I’m the Q, I had to cross the U-Turns, I wasnt sure if we still “planted the flag” in the same place (I forgot to ask).
Also a little early, Flanigan arrived by bike and parked in the school’s bike stand. Cornholio, Blue Hen, and Shooting Blanks followed. Shooting Blanks caught my tag from the night before as he was headed to Purple Cobra, came to meet some of his new neighors instead. He was going to be late to Purple Cobra anyway 😀
It was great to see the Nutcracker Q and catch up a bit as we went throught the workout. Awsome time PAX!
