Record crowd at Stonecutters this morning, where the the only rule is there are no rules (so I learned). Apparently your shoes don’t even need to match.

The PAX enjoyed a bespoke Wheel of Pain experience involving various locations around the park, unique modes of transport, and AMRAP exercises. Favorite quotes include: “that’s a long way to karaoke”, “derkins, really?”, “reverse lunge walk, is that a thing?” and “to the swings?”

Shout out to Unitard and Cauliflower for superb leadership on their Spinners Choice.

MIAGD!

13 HIM took over Waverly Place this morning. Started with intro and Pledge and then off we went.

Moseyed a bit to another parking lot were we got warmed up. YHC didn’t have the full workout planned beforehand, but things came together nicely as we went.

The intent this morning was to keep all PAX engaged and moving with a full body focus. We started with Core Corners were we hit core exercises at the top and bottom of the two sets of stairs flanking the turf area. After several rounds of that we grabbed a bench or half-wall for back to back rounds of erkins and dips. 10 reps erkins right in to 10 reps of dips. Shake out arms and rinse repeat. We then headed to another set of steeps stairs for 7s with squats and jump squats being the flavor of the moment. We knocked out some calf raises as well before heading back to the turf for some bear crawls, crawl bears, crab walks and planks. Popcorn Mary to wrap things up.

It was a pleasure and honor to lead this studly groups of HIM.

Kitty…thanks for dropping the flag and coffee off before heading to Krypto for your epic beatdown.

It was a beautiful morning in SCary and 24 strong posted to take advantage! The clock struck 6:30 and a disclaimer was stumbled through. The pledge was pledged and we left the parking lot on a slow warm-up mosey. Some went right, most went left down to the tennis courts for some flying warmups.

Half ran the pickle, half AMRAP’d the called exercise.
SSH
Mountain Climbers
Plank Jacks

Depart the tennis courts and over to the first round-about. This is where I called Dora’s pet mouse, “Speedy Gonzales”.
12 burpees
24 Merkins
36 squats
While your partner sprints the round-about.

Then we did an 8+2 up the hill to the flag. 8 steps bear crawl, 2 merkins, wash, rinse, repeat to the flag.

At the flag repeat the “Speedy Gonzales” on the larger round-about
12 burpees
24 Merkins
36 LBC’s
Afterwards, reverse it.

Drop down for SCary stretch and afterwards, slow mosey to the bottom of the parking lot.

Rolling sprint up the parking lot to the flag, recover mosey around the round-about and back down the hill.

Rolling sprint up the parking lot half the distance and then circle up for popcorn Merry. We finished up with an @amway honoring set of 20 Merkins.
PERFECT!

NMS
– Perhaps the weather is such to put away the oodie till next season
– Shoutout to @amway for putting on a spectacular F3 challenge – the bar has now been set pretty high
– Thank you for all who posted this morning! While yes, I do enjoy the energy of a smaller group, you just can’t beat the energy of a large group on occasion.
– As discussed in COT we have an amazing culture in SCARY! We each contribute to that culture one way or another and we shouldn’t take it for granted.
– I am honored to count each of you in my circle of friends!

10 bootcampers and 2 SWOcho broz on a brisk morning at the premier Friday AO. Mission and core principles given for pseudo FNG life alert. Mosey and standard warm-ups and then over to thang 1.

Thang 1 was the famed Shepherd’s Watch 1 mile challenge. 5 laps, give it all you can. I’m here to tell you, Water Wings is back! And it’s great to see. Strong efforts all around. Life Alert would have broken 6 min with a running start.

Thang 2 was a core Dora. H2M, angry penguins, and LBCs…100, 200, 300. Somehow Kirkland kept ended up doing merkins.

Thang 3 alternating between bear crawls and lunge walks between tree islands. The YHC can now confirm that it’s hard to do these if you actually do them.

Back to the flag for some popcorn Mary, which featured two people calling merkins, and then HAND. Announcements. Prayers for Flintstone single dadding for a week while his M is overseas. MIAGD, gents!

YHC is happy to report there was no mailing it in at Thunderstruck this AM on the day YHC turned 46. We started off with the Pledge and moseyed to a cul de sac for 23 rep warmups.

Thang 1 had us heading towards the YMCA stopping at light pole pain stations for 23 reps. Merkins were merked. We turned into a neighborhood at end of sidewalk and continued our 23 rep stops mixing in some new exercises on the way to pool parking lot.

Thang 2 was alternating rounds of crab walk/lunge walk and bear crawl/lunge walk across length of lot. We moseyed back to flag with a few more stops including some monkey humpers along Ten Ten for good measure.

Announcements: Blood Drive, South Cary Picnic, Highland Games, Stations of the Cross.
Prayers and praises sent.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead. MIAGD!

Finished up with All You Gots from Promo and Jiggly for Merkin Madness.

A Q that’s been building for 9 months and like a long pregnancy the wait is over and a beautiful baby boy has arrived at 88 for a morning bootcamp with the HIM of SCary.

We did some motivators to warm-up along with some stretching for the cold temps.

The men then split up for some stairs and laps to include merkins, squats, LBCs, Ierkins, dips, and ALRSU, all for the March Madness Bros of course.

We got back together for a lap and then did some bear crawling, lunging, and partner merkins.

We hit another lap and got some Mary in.

By my count the workout had 120 merkins, not to include what a few guys called during Mary (do add accordingly).

It was an honor to be with you men today, even you, Big Red.
