QIC:
Bling
PAX:
Bling, One Call, Varsity, Geppetto, Lombardi, Ralph Lauren
The Thang:
Weather- freezing. I think Geppetto (brother in law) brought this frigid forecast from PA- just another reason to yell at him. Grabbed some hitcher at 5:05 (One Call literally off the street- looking sexy as always) and Geppetto, One Call and yours truly pulled into AO at 5:25 as the 1st car in. Lombardi followed and Varsity joined as the 1 Minute announcement was made. Disclaimer given- lets roll.
22 Merkins for the Vets- (was going to do this IC, but Varsity was already on merkin #3 before I even got into position! soooooo, OYO for these!)
20 Bragg Cherry Pickers IC
20 SSH- IC
15 Arm Circles, both forward & backwards IC
20 Carolina DD- IC
Wind was tough out there- we had to get to the parking garage and under cover. Gave the PAX the option of either a mosey or Indian Run- our fearless AO leader Lombardi made the quick decision to Mosey, soooooo, we mosey over to the garage, entrance by PF Chang.
1 minute wall sit
30 second hand-stand hold against the wall. this was a new move- funny watching everyone “trying to get it up”
Level up work next.
run to the next parking level- 20 squats. next level, 20 LBC, next level, 20 Amer hammer, final level (outside!) 20 SSH. planked on the 6 (Varsity, but of course!). When I finally made it up last, we did 20 Flutters IC
Level down work
start at the top and go on reverse- this time doing 40 for each exercise. plank on the 6 at the bottom (Varsity- but with a ever-so-close One Call on his tail. This would lead to issues later…..). 40 Flutters together IC- nice push by all. 10 count to catch breath…….lets move on!
Mosey to the fountain/pool for a quick DORA as it was close to 0600.
since we had 5 (currently) I, as Q, gracefully volunteered to do this solo!
partner #1- 100 step ups by the fountain. partner #2- run the square around the park.
(so as we are doing this, One-Call, Lombardi and I notice another person running to catch up with Varsity ((good luck there!)). I thought it was some drunken fool stumbling out of King Street- and going to attack our boy! we stood there and watched in amazement/horror for a few seconds, until….. we find out its Ralph Lauren!)
he was late getting to the AO- made up some lame excuse about car trouble?? He joined us for the last few minutes as we finished up the 100 step ups. we finished with 50 Burpees/Run with a renewed energy seeing our boy from Shelby. One Call finished up by coughing up 1/4 lung with some green slime- a sight to see!
mosey to Flag, as Varsity told us it was 6:10. Finished with 50 Flutter IC as a team.
announcements, prayer (from Geppetto) and went on our separate ways to tackle the day. Always, always a privilege to lead these boys and appreciate them all getting up early (and for Ralph Lauren who must have gotten an extra 10minutes) to join.
OUT.
