Once we were warm we moseyed to the hill of the dragon for a partner workout.  Round 1 was DORA’S with 200 merkins and 150 4ct flutter kicks.  While partner 1 performed the reps, partner 2 ran up the hill (2 man makers at the top) and back down.

Once completed same partners did a AMRAP rep total of Squats and a Plank Hold while the other partner ran up the dragon’s tail and back around.  Once completed we headed to the AO parking lot to grab a coupon.

 

With coupon’s in hand partner 1 performed an AMRAP of curls while partner 2 rifle carried their coupon down to the other end of the parking lot and back.  This was performed 2 times.

Put up the coupons and headed to the cloud for some ab exercises.  20 4ct hello dolly’s, PacMan led us in some Freddy Mercury’s, Fishnet led some Big Boy’s, and G String led some Toe Touches.  We finished up with some heel touches and one last mosey around the lower parking lot.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Conventional wisdom(and Gibbler) would tell you the way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time.  However, the best route might just be to do it with the help of others.  In general we should leave the elephants alone but when we face issues or problems we need to lean on those around us for support.  Likewise look for those around you that may need some help and offer your support.

It was Yesterday

THE SCENE:  Humid
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
20 SSH on the 4ct, some Wayne Dunn’s, to the curb for some Rocky Balboa’s, then butt kickers half way down parking lot and the same thing back.
THA-THANG:
Mosey’d over to cardiac.  Idea was to carry a CMU with us the entire time and not let it touch the ground.  So, while group did rep counts of 20,05,10, and 5 Merkins and Jump squats at bottom, first and second bends, and top someone stayed at bottom and did curls and OH press with block.

Once completed we mosey’d back up cardiac to the front of the asylum.  Here we did 3 burpees at first light pole and then every third light pole.  HIM with the CMU did 3 OH presses at every 3rd pole.

Mosey’d to the bottom of Everest where there were 3 cones set up.  Cone suicides of 20,15,10 and then we did 5 reps at the bottom.  Exercises were 4ct flutters and dry docks.  Idea was to run to cone 1 and do 20 rep count then back down.  Next time run to second cone for 15 reps and back.  So on…

Once completed man with CMU led everyone up Everest.  Once at the top we mosey’d to Asylum building.  Man with CMU shouted out an exercise for PAX to perform while he ran up space needle.  Once he came back down he passed the CMU to the next HIM and they did the same.  Ran out of time before everyone made it up stairs.  Headed back to AO.
