21 boot-camp PAX gathered for yet another mysterious Q sign up at Point Break. Was this the Q just messing with Sherpa again, or a simple capitalization on Chris R’s movement toward better getting to know your fellow PAX? TBD…

Water Wings gathered the crew and we came out nearly as hot as WW comes into a typical workout. He led us to the Duke lot for a warmup consisting of SSH, GM, the SCSs, and merkins. Onward to the Whole Foods lot, where we painted the lines before landing at the Waverly Green.

Wide Right picked up the Q and led us through Thang 1, a callback to the competition between the Cary Police vs Fire Department – a burpee/box jump stationary 11s. Find a spot on the wall and OYO perform 1 box jump and 10 burpees. 2 & 9, 3 & 8… all the way to 10 & 1.

The Andrews ceded ground to a Mike who called LBCs, but quickly regained control via…

Hallmark refocused the PAX with Andrew Carnegie’s thought: “You cannot push anyone up the ladder unless he is willing to climb.” And instantly brought it to reality with a 2:1 lunge walk to squat up the first ramp followed by a bear crawl up the second. Despite any residual unwillingness, Hallmark called side plank star crunch before a full rinse and repeat.

One last handoff to Jigglypuff (YHC). Mosey back, fake out to the flag, and gather up at the movie posters. Since the name Andrew means Brave and Manly, we executed an inflating set of BRAVEs consisting of Bigboysitups, Rangermerkins, Americanhammers, Vups, and Erkins. Back to the flag and have a nice day!

We rejoined with 2 Cleavers and ended with another Carnegie quote: “We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon — instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our window today.” Although I am absolutely approaching every day with an eternal perspective, let’s not miss the gifts and challenges right in front of us. Thank you all for the opportunity to share the Andrew lifestyle. Next time, we’ll expand the fold to include our Andys and Drews.

Happy birthday Badda!!
