FNG in attendance, so disclaimer was given, prompt start at 5:45
Warm Up
Reverse Indian Run w/ Burpees to start. We’ve done this several times at Cletus. Apparently Brony and Peak Week never managed to attend when it happened, though. Therefore, there was much mumble chatter and complaining. The exercise itself is straightforward. Pax runs in a line, front man sprints to back. When he reaches the back, he calls “DOWN” and entire Pax drops for a burpee. Repeat. Apparently, this extended beyond the capabilities of some of our veteran pax.
So, Audible â…” of the way around the soccer fields to do:
Fence work: 10 Derkins on each rung alternating with 10 count BTTW or People’s Chair.
Partner Carry back to parking lot (~ 80 yards), then switch partners to fence across street
Thang Pt 1
Typewriter on the wooden fence, alternating height, derkins, side to side.
Thang Pt 2
11’s on the hill. 10x Burpees at the bottom, run up the hill backwards, 1x Derkin at the top. Go until Lucky Charms finished. I think I made it to 4 burpees. This was the pinnacle of “You vs. You”. Lucky lapped me (and pretty much everyone else) before I made it up the hill twice.
Bear Crawl the parking lot back to the gate. Speedsters went to go get a “curling rock” and meet us at the playground. Slower guys did an Indian Run the long way around the soccer fields.
Thang Pt 3
Split into groups of 4 for 3 rounds of the following:
Pax 1: AMRAP pullups
Pax 2: AMRAP curls
Pax 3: AMRAP triceps extensions
Pax 4 (timer): 10x merkins
Rotate through the exercises 3x each.
Some guys return the rocks, others head to tennis courts. First ones to the courts do wheelbarrows & everyone bear crawls in the six.
Mary:
Freddy Mercury, 10x forward, 10x backward. 6 inch / 45 degree / 6 inch leg hold.
COT
Our Six in COT was Crosby. Dude came out this winter for the first time and got named for his love of the Capitals (was rocking a Caps sweatshirt). He quickly got his comeuppance with them winning the Cup this year, much to the chagrin of a half dozen Pens fans who named him. After attending 1x/week for a couple months, Crosby has been killing it lately and even attended the pre-Cletus Murph. It’s awesome to see him get involved and invite his friends. Might be time for him to step up and Q soon! We’re better because you’re here, Crosby, keep it up, dude!!!

Pax of 4 gathered under the moonlight for Crazy Time. WebEx dropped by on his way to getting some miles – he got in 8 before the workout!
No announcements and we all did our thing – great work men!
15 Pax gathered in mostly reasonable temperatures for another of the ever popular Ultimate frisbee workouts. Two FNGs were present so disclaimers were read and we mosey’d to the turf fields where YHC had already setup a playing field.
Warm up:
10x SSH IC
10x Daisy Picker IC
20x Diamond Merkin – YHC said these would be the last of the merkins for the day, but he was wrong.
The thing:
We divided into teams – red/black shirts vs the skittles (all other colors). The dropped disc penalty was established as 1 Turkish Getup, with the scoring team calling a workout to be done x10 (either reps or IC). Scoring exercises were all over the place but there were multiple rounds of burpees, merkins, jump squats and star jumps.
40 minutes of play blew by and we wrapped up with some quick left over right/right over left hamstring stretches. Deadbolt even joined us as a surprise guest at CoT.
