Another trip around the sun

YHC wanted to celebrate another year here the right way, which consists of a good sweat and some fellowship.  A great bunch of guys came out enjoy the “fun” and get their days started off the right way too.  Let it be known that holding a derkin position for a long time is harder than you might think.  Trust me on this one.

FNGs:

None

Warm Up:

SSH x43 IC

Imperial Walkers x10 IC

Hillbillies x10 IC

Sir Fazio Arm Circles x10 IC forward and reverse

Windmill x10 IC

Daisy Pickers x10 IC

Merkins x10

Burpees x10 OYO

The Workout:

Mosey to the shelter and grab a spot at one of the benches for 11’s with step ups and dips.  We stared with 11 step ups and 1 dip and worked our way around.  When we got to 1 step up YHC though 1 was lame and audibled to 10 but Banana Seat thought 43 sounded better so we went with that instead.  Good call BS!

Mosey to the knee wall and did 10 more merkins.

PAX were then instructed that we’d be doing a bear crawl derkin indian run kind of thing.  Everyone got up in derkin position and the man at the end would bear crawl to the other end of the line, get up, and call out 5 derkins.  We successfully made it all the way to the stairs but not without a healthy (and justified) amount of grunts and groans.  On the way back down we switched to irkins instead but still stuck with the bear crawls.

After that we did 10 more burpees and then headed to the wall behind the baseball field.

Everyone lined up on the wall for alternating people’s chair and BTTW.  We started with 13 PC and 13 BTTW and then went down to 10 each until we completed 43 of each.  Then, at the end, as an added bonus, we did 16 more of each (for 16-bit).  Once that was complete we did another set of 10 merkins and 10 burpees.

We then moseyed up the steps by the wall to the back hill.  We did 5 merkins and burpees and then jogged to the bottom of the hill for sprints back up to where we started.  5 more merkins and burpees before heading back down.  Another sprint up and we completed the workout with 3 burpees and 3 merkins (43 of each in total).  Then back to the parking lot to circle up for…

Mary:

Cirlced up for popcorn Mary where everyone except Banana Seat (due to time) called out an exercise.

Kitty Littr had us doing 20 LBCs

Gamecock called out 20 Homer to Marge, 10 with left legs in the air and 10 with the right.

Pumps (who looks like Martini when you’re laying on the ground and looking at him upside down) asked for 20 low slow flutter.

Actual Martini then had us doing 20 American Hammers

We were at the 45:06 mark at this point so we called it.

Announcements:

Town Hall meeting tonight at 7:00pm at the Bass Lake boat house.  If you can’t make it and have thoughts or comments please send them to Breach ahead of time.

Prayer:

YHC has an ex-coworker who lost his wife to a heart attack on Saturday evening.

Banana Seat’s friend from church was diagnosed with ALS and it is affecting him rapidly.

Gamecock’s sister had a baby!  They were induced and the baby is in the NICU but all signs are looking good and they’re hoping they can go home even before they had originally thought.

It truly is a blessing that I get to start today off with you men.  I’m thankful for all of you and am honored to know you.  Have a great day, I know mine will be because I started it off with you.
