QUOTE OF THE DAY:  “Man I must have hit the snooze button at least 10 times this morning!” ~No-See-Um

6 PAX posted for a hot and humid sweatfest here in the gloom.  Much mumble chatter about the surrounding storms and the non-stop lightning, however the powers that be kept it just far enough away as to not intervene with our mission.  YHC noticed we had some fast runners in the group and changed up the game plan a bit to keep things interesting.  Quick disclaimer and we were off…

WARMUP

  • VERY FAST MOSEY TO SUNLAKE ROUND-A-BOUT (this woke the PAX up really quick)
  • SSH  –  X20  –  IC
  • BABY ARM CIRCLES  –  X10 (each direction)  –  IC
  • FRANKENSTEINS  –  X10  –  IC

THE HAMSTER WHEEL (as so aptly named by Grouper)

  • 5 EXERCISES WITH 5 ROUNDS PER EXERCISE RACING AROUND THE CIRCLE IN BETWEEN
  • ROUND 1  –  BURPEES INCREASING 1 TO 5 COUNTING BY 1s
  • ROUND 2  –  MERKINS INCREASING 2 TO 10 COUNTING BY 2s
  • ROUND 3  –  SQUATS INCREASING 3 TO 15 COUNTING BY 3s
  • ROUND 4  –  LEG RAISES INCREASING 4 TO 20 COUNTING BY 4s
  • ROUND 5  –  FLUTTERKICKS (hard way) INCREASING 5 TO 25 COUNTING BY 5s

YHC gave a shout out that at any time in any round if a PAX is lapped by another there will be a penalty to be paid.  Pretty sure this happened quite a few times and will be divvied up at the next beatdown (10 STARJACK BURPEES PRE-BEATDOWN)

  • MOSEY TO SUNLAKE BLVD
  • COUNT OFF 1’s AND 2’s
  • LIGHT POLE SPRINTS ALTERNATING 1’s THEN 2’s
  • HEADING NORTH EVERY POLE TO NIGHTSHADE
  • 1 ROUND OF ROASTED PIG  –  OYO
  • INDIAN RUN AROUND TO SERENOA AND DOWN NATURE VIEW
  • CIRCLE UP IN FRONT OF HAKA’s HOUSE FOR  –  HOWLING MONKEYS  –  X2 ROUNDS  (whoever said this is not a real exercise has probably never performed them 3 miles and 40 min into a beatdown before because the PAX were howling for sure…well that and we were trying to wake up the dragon)
  • INDIAN RUN DOWN NATURE VIEW TOWARDS BB COURTS
  • CIRCLE UP AGAIN IN FRONT OF APNEA’s HOUSE FOR  –  LBC’s  –  X25  –  OYO  (baby crunches because he has a new baby…get it…and also to see if we could catch him sneaking out with 4 min left in the beatdown)
  • INDIAN RUN REST OF THE WAY BACK TO THE COURTS
  • 45 SEC REMAINING FOR  –  SAVASANA  –  PERFECT FORM REQUIRED BY YHC  –  THE PAX EARNED IT TODAY!

COT

  • Prayers for Vanellope’s father-in-law
  • Good luck for Miley competing in his first marathon
  • Prayers for our 2.0’s as the schools are about to re-open

MOLESKIN

  • Pace was pushed hard today with alot of mileage in there so great job to all that slayed the dragon.
  • YES MAN MILE CHALLENGE DATE 08/30…BE THERE!!!  Should be plenty of mumble chatter along the way at break points so treat it as a 2nd F also!  Check Slack for details regarding location and time…
  • EHing challenge in full effect…still a tie score as we posted all goose eggs today, but keep up the recruiting everyone…
