A Possum Tabata Pump

/in /by

The pre-blast promised iron and questionable tunes in honor of Southwake’s oldest AO. What showed up was two men. Turns out the possums round Possum Trot are about as easy to find as a big crowd on a Wednesday morning, but YHC and Lube got the work in anyway.

Warm-Up

Moseyed around the tennis courts, then circled up for:

  • Good Mornings

  • Willie Mays Hayes

  • Imperial Walkers

  • Hillbillies

  • Sir Fazio (fwd + rev)

  • Seal Claps

  • Overhead Claps

The Thang

Ran both 15-minute Tabata circuits back to back:

  • Circuit 1 — Farmer Carry (40lb DBs), Jump Rope, KB Swings.

  • Circuit 2 — Wonder Bra, Skipping, KB Snatch.

Mary

Ran short on time, so no formal Mary today. Lube stepped up and led some back-strengthening work instead to close us out.

COT

Announcements: Nothing stated.

T-Claps: None stated.

Prayer: Continued healing for Lube, coming off back surgery. Prayers for families navigating the school year kicking back into gear. Prayers for injured PAX working toward getting back out here with us.

Closing Remarks: Two men doesn’t fill a soccer field, but it still counts as a beatdown. Southwake’s oldest AO doesn’t need a crowd to keep going, just somebody willing to show up in the gloom. Grateful for Lube this morning.

YHC out.

I’ve been out of town for a few weeks with work and some vacation.  I was keeping up with Slack to see all the great mumblechatter about the Qsheet and the push by Lipstick, followed by Sardine to lead.  I knew I wouldnt be around earlier in the week, looking down the line I could see these dudes werent playing around, not much was left but I did find Cletus open for Friday.  LFG

  • Mozy around the snack shack and return mozy to Partner 1 to switch off

*** Quick Intermission for 15 Penalty Burpees for late arrivals ***
