We ventured off site this morning after Mission, Pledge, and warmups. We moseyed into Summerwinds neighborhood making some stops for merkins, Bobby Hurleys, CDDs, LBCs, & squats. Eventually we made our way down to the lake via an inconspicuous greenway entrance. After a short stint we exited to apartments after stopping for some irkins at playground.

Thang 1 was rotating bear crawls, crab walks, backwards run, and Carioca up to the top of hill at apartments. We exited out to sidewalk and turned back into Waverly for Thang 2: BLIMPS across Whole Foods parking lot. There was still some time to spare so we got a round of Four Corners w/ hand release merkins in before moseying back to flag.

A few announcements and a bunch of prayer requests this morning.

MIAGD!

Some studs kicked things off with the Sherpa loophole EC, YHC not included.

For the ME we set off to the medical complex/old folks home. I was alerted that for 3 who attended 88mph this would be the second time this week. Perfect reason to attend an alternate Monday mid-tempo SCary workout! But I digress


Theme of the Thang was “Spiraling Downhill”, an homage to our lives. After a few audibles to find the right pickle length, we settled into a non-standard DORA with the pickle being up the stairs and spiral back down the ramps.

We capped that by performing 1 McDuck. The PAX really struggled with the name.
Hustled back to the flag in time for a bit of Mary.

Great coffee and discussion of 🐐 đŸ«.
MIAGD!

Only two letters of the alphabet were needed this morning as our workout featured a whole lot of S’s and W’s and even more W’s.

Quick warmups featuring South Cary Stretches and an overview of the exercises to come.

We worked through those exercises at different parking lots, with the exercise names corresponding to the letters we were making in Strava art. Stifler’s mom’s, Star jumps, Squats, Side straddle hops. Worst merkins ever, WWl’s, WWII’s, War hammers, Wide grip merkins. Back to the flag for a set of Astro jacks because
..well, you know.

Of course the pax suspected something was up, but none could quite figure it out.

Many prayers were raised up. Announcements included Stations of the Cross at SWW on Friday, and the upcoming SCary picnic. No other representatives from any other events were present, so there’s probably nothing else going on. MIAGD.

Wasn’t entirely sure how this morning would go after rolling my ankle yesterday but it was a terrific morning in the gloom. At first I thought the cold had chased everyone off and we were going to have a small group but the pax poured out of the woodwork as the clock inched closer to 0530. Intro, disclaimer, pledge and off we mosey.

Long way around to the field for standard warm-ups then back behind the medical buildings for a
.

Merkin pain train

The pax were overjoyed by the prospect of this, and the very detailed instructions YHC gave on how to execute said pain train. Lots of questioning about the necessity and wisdom of this choice but naturally that was just the pax’s way of expressing their gratitude. Once that was completed and those early finishing pax were fussed at for simply standing around waiting off we go to thang 2.

Four Corners of Mary in the 88 MPH lot, with rounds of V-Ups, Box Cutters, and Low Slow Flutters. Then off to thang 3 back at the field.

Partner up. Partner 1 calls an exercise and partner two does that AMRAP while P1 runs the small ramp pickle. Switch. After P1 and P2 complete AMRAP + Pickle, P2 gets to call an exercise for the next round. Some masochistic pax called merkins as one of their choices
.. Lots of mumblechatter and concern about time and getting back to the flag by several pax including two overly concerned site Qs. After round 4 we moseyed back for an expertly time HAND.

SIGN UP FOR THE PICNIC (and the Highland Games).

What a great morning at Waverly Place! We had multiple EC options and a strong running contingent during the main event.

After the AO Inspection EC by me and Hallmark, 11 PAX returned via a pearls on a very long string through some parking lots to Ritter Park where we spent about 5 minutes doing curb irkins and pull ups. Quick wave to the Hulkamania PAX and we set off on our return journey via Loch Lomond and the tent-guy-cut-through back to Waverly. Some ambitious exercises at the high ledge by the fountains, featuring the ‘half time’ ALRSUs. Back to the flag just in time. Rejoined with the 12 runners for COT.

It was a last second Q pickup, but I was glad for the opportunity to lead. MIAGD!

Glorious morning at Point Break as 14 of us set off to conquer 11s Stairs and HRM while 2 dudes bro talked. Fairly certain this has never been done in SCary and won’t surprise me if never done again. Took way longer than anticipated and the Thangs held in reserve will be saved for another day.

Announcements – Poker, HG, WH ASS, Picnic

Prayers – Petey, Lisa, Uni’s brother, Quiver’s father, Coco Crisp (Carpex).

Love you guys

We were joined by a father son duo. One from out of town. One from Cary. Both Gator fans. Unreal!
March madness themed workout this morning. We revisited the age old question of which Gators team is the best team of all time. Of course the 2025 Gators made this a more complicated question. PAX split into two teams (’07 and ’25) to complete feats of physical and mental strength.
Gators won!
Prayers or Flintstones family and Bubba. MIAGD

10 campers and 4 brOchos hit the waves this morning. I had no elaborate plan but to see how many showed up and wing it. Pledge and we are off.

Mosey for a flying Ray warmup. Stop at BK to stretch it your way. Continue on to Whole Foods for some no fluff added standards. Continue on to the bottom of all hills and man did those baked goods smell delicious OTW!

Grab a coupon and a compadre. Mosey up to the fountains. Partner Dora with a twist. One does the standard merkins/squats/LBCs while the partner carries the coupon up and around the pickle. Everyone hit 3 carries each but counting was questionable.

Return our coupons to the bottom. Mosey to finish the sting ray. Back to the flag for Mary. One PAX’s signature was stolen so he had to think fast. 100’s then HAND!

Major trouble counting at COT. 10 no 12 no 16 no 14. Prizes for the Merkin Champs were handed out. OTW got his Perfect Push-up gift set. Nabs got some epsom salt and recovery cream/gel.

Shirt order still live for the Highland Games, which are 4/19. Sign up for the picnic 4/27. MIAGD!

Temps were high, as was the workout tempo. PB flag is on the IR so we pledged to the CFA flag and took off for the grassy area for warmups, including the motivator led by Flintstone.

Thang 1 – 12 min of up and down the stairs. Except for one Pax who kept on modifying to do merkins at the bottom. HTSI.

Thang 2 – over to the building in the back for out and backs with exercises at each tree island. Run to the first island for 2 merks and 2 jump squats. Then run back to the start. Then to the second tree island for 4 of each and so on until we completed our 12 even only combinatorial set. Quick round of mary while the six came in.

Back to the flag for another Flintstone motivator! Then regular Mary.

Plentiful announcements. Prayers for Yogi.
