7 lucky crew members showed up to the Mutiny this gloom not knowing what they’d signed up for. YHC kept the plans buried like treasure in the pre-blast, and the PAX found out soon enough: three trips around the Loop, and a wet hill with a grudge.

Warm-Up

Circled up for:

• SSH

• Good Mornings

• Don Quixotes

• Imperial Walkers

• Hillbillies

• Sir Fazio (fwd + rev)

• Seal Claps

• Overhead Claps

The Thang

Ran the loop around the soccer field 3 times. One exercise at each of the 4 corners, with a different mode of transportation to get you from one corner to the next:

• Corner 1 — 10 Merkins. Travel to the next corner: Bear Crawl on lap 1, Crab Walk on lap 2, a BC/CW combo on lap 3.

• Corner 2 — 15 WWI Sit-ups Mosey to the next corner.

• Corner 3 — 10 Lunges each leg, IC. Then straight into the hill: up backwards to the nearest fence post at the top, back down backwards, 1 burpee on the pavement at the bottom, then up to the third post (skipping one post on the way), down forward. Laps 1 and 2 ran the full sequence with the burpee. Time was short by lap 3, so the crew ran it forward up and down only, no burpee, to get us through the rest of the workout on schedule.

• Corner 4 — 5 Burpees Mosey back around to Corner 1 and go again.

Mary

Popcorned exercises across the group: Low Slow Flutters, Pickle Pounders, Homer to Marge, American Hammers, Box Cutters, LBCs, Windshield Wipers.

COT

Announcements: Ruck Sack raffle still ongoing.

T-Claps: UTI named Nantan. Congrats!

Prayer: Prayers for Flip Phone and his family, mourning a recent loss. Prayers for Jolly (and family) as he moves through a season of major transition — retiring from the Navy and starting a new chapter.

Closing Remarks: Proud of this crew. Nobody knew what the Loop had in store and everybody showed up anyway — that’s the whole point. The hill doesn’t care how many times you’ve run it, it’s still going to be there tomorrow. So are we.

YHC out.
