Problematic (or almost problematic?) day at the premier Tuesday boot camp actually located in south cary!

Took the long way over to the Lowe’s foods parking lot for warmups. Then headed over to the Ortho parking lot for three rounds of four corners. First round was 9 diamond merkins at each corner, second round was 24 jump squats and then third round was 83s.

Then we headed towards the park with an illegal road crossing in front of Cary’s finest (no trespassing tho!) and then a pause to monkey hump the JDI broz (of which there were many!) before heading to the shelter for 41 dips, 41 I/urkins, and a 41 second derkin hold.

Back to the flag for popcorn mary and COT right before the dome gave out. Coffee at the shelter!

Prayers for my nextdoor neighbor Sharon in dealing with the sudden passing of her husband yesterday, prayers for Useful’s job search. Grateful to start another year feeling . MIAGD, gents!

10 souls came out for what was supposed to be an Iron PAX Challenge recovery day but instead received a 5 inning beatdown on the F3 baseball diamond. F3 baseball is nothing like real baseball, except there are bases and there might also be some whining.

Ended with newly coined sir fazio wrist circles to ease of pain from crab walking. I believe the passerbys were very impressed with this.

Great work by the men and great to see DEET out there with us!

Lots of good exercises were completed. A little over 2 miles were covered. Many backwards runs were done. And rain was limited. Glorious morning overall.

Interval running up and down some Wellington hills. Mixed in some bobby hurley’s, starjumps and ranger merkins.

Bolstered by the south wake contingent we had more than I expected. Warm up mozey and stretching to the hill for a whole body triple nickel of squats, merkins, and WWIIs. Back to the teeter for some upper body pull-ups, irkins, dirkins, and dips with running the pickle backwards, sideways, and forwards in between. Back to the flag for quick round of WWIIs. Prayers for wah wah’s son, baby deet’s upcoming arrival and Bubba. Great morning out there!

While it is not maritime law, it is highly recommended to have an ANCHOR when setting sail to new seas. This morning we forged our anchor along the way to the Shipyard to say Hello Dolly! No FNG so a quick disclaimer then the pledge and off we sail.

Mosey to the apartments on the hill. Start our warmup port side. GM, Imperial Walkers, SSH. Mosey to the starboard side for Sir Fazios and Seal Claps. Mosey into the rarely travelled loch. Pearls on a string ANCHOR. Alternating side squats, Nolan Ryan, Copperhead Squats, Hatching Butterfly, Outlaws, Rosalita.

Wait did we just happen to land in Shipyard’s driveway by accident? Hello Dolly in the driveway!

Repeato and a quick stop to finish our artwork. Mosey back to the park for one last round. Over to the ant pile for Mary. HAND!

Thanks for the opportunity to lead. AmBRR is coming? WGC? Prayers for Harold and his family after his quick passing. Split hot or cold coffeteria. Make it a great day!

Disappointed that YHC couldn’t make it another 280 days between Qs, everyone was reminded about the importance of signing up on the Q sheet to avoid a similar situation in the future. Pledge was said, and off we went. Weaved between the cement balls by the park, and painted the lines in the parking lot. Continued moseying down the green way with a brief stop to do a little shoulder work and get the obligatory SCary stretches in. Off we went to the overpass where we began the Thang. In an effort to embrace the suck, running was the theme with some burpees mixed in. We attempted to complete 11s with merkins on the top of the hill and squats on the bottom with 3 merkins every time we passed the halfway point.

I had to call it a little early and we did more burpees on the way back to the flag. YHC’s suspicion was confirmed, and indeed running is not fun. We arrived back at the flag in time for YHC’s inaugural “8 minute Mary” Everyone got to call their own favorite except OTW (he should have signed up to Q). HGTV was kind enough to remind Term Paper to watch out for the biting ants (although a bit too late). All in all, a good time had by all.

1776 was announced.

Prayers for DEETs friends and their daughter coming back from the hospital.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead this great group of HIMs this morning! MIAGD

Great group today. A lot of commotion this morning with ruckers, walkers, bootcampers, 4 FNG’s, and guys showing up at various times. Something for everyone. We started at the medical center where we did warmups and a modified Dora, with one partner doing squats and LBC’s while the other ran to the lower end of the parking lot and did merkins. Then run back and switcharoo multiple times.

Then we went to the rehab center where we did a version of Mary where we would run up the hill, YHC would call upon a pax to lead an exercise, then we run back down the hill. Repeato a few times. Apparently monkey humpers are a Mary exercise. Bakers Man showed off his sprinting skills by beating French Lick to the top of the hill. Thought maybe we lost a few guys on the way back. Did some more Mary at the flag and then did a couple of penalty burpees for those late for COT.

Welcome to all the FNGs. Chipper was on fire with the naming. The coffee was much improved but we lost the trunk part of the trunk coffee. But at least that’s better than bad coffee with a trunk. Sometimes you have to choose your battles. MIAGD.

Great to see some long lost PAX aka running bros at the Swolestice bootcamp.
Welcome FNG Calculator and downrange Good Burn all the way from Raleigh.

As promised, solstice and gettin’ swole trivia was the main event. One PAX one voice; incorrect answers yielded the prize of burpees for all. Accompanying exercise and pickle lap executed after each question.

The PAX fared well with some tricky questions. French Lick, Vegemite, and Nugent among others impressed YHC with nailing some obscure ones.

MIAG(longest)D of the year!

Strong dozen this morning at Thunderstruck!

Mosey over to the Glenridge Country Club for warmups where the Pax chose the long route over the short route.

>From there we set off towards Penny Rd for county land. We stopped at every turn to do two reps of a given exercise, adding a new exercise at each stop. Sounds of monkey humpers at Spade and Staubach’s (old) houses.

Back to the shopping center for a 4 corners with squats, LBCs, lunges and H2M. Mosey for a bit and then back to the flag for popcorn mary. A strong 3.58 miles covered.

Announcements and prayers/praises for French’s reptile, Bubba’s visit and for this group.

Grateful for the last 2 years, gents! MIAGD.
