It all started a day ago with a vigourous and maybe overzealous Virgin Q by Tick-Tock. Although, your YHC was not in attendance yesterday, it has been echoed through Slack and other media that Cupcake, your scheduled YHC for the Brickyard, was knocked out of commission by the young grasshopper. So a call to the bullpen and an announcement on the Tweet inspired 7 men to load their haulers and head out to the Brickyard for some mid week racing. This is how the race went down:
Mosey to parking lot across the street for Warmup:
SSH x20 (IC)
IST x15 (IC)
WM x10 (IC)
MC x10 (IC)
The Thanng:
Mosey to the bottom of Cupcake hill for COT
Burpees x10 OYO
Merkins x10 (IC)
Squats x10 (IC)
Carolina Dry Docks x10 (IC)
Mosey up the hill to the firestation under the water tower for 2nd COT
Burpees x10 OYO
Merkins x15 (IC)
Squats x15 (IC)
Carolina Dry Docks x15 (IC)
Mosey to the end of Knob Hill for 3rd COT
Burpees x10 OYO
Merkins x10 (IC)
Squats x10 (IC)
Carolina Dry Docks x10 (IC)
Plan was to do 20 IC but did not think I could do it so quick modification
Mosey back to behind Trackscan for the Second Thang. The Dora 1/2, 1, 2, 3
Partnered up and one partner ran to the bottom of the hill and back while the other completed said exercise until number of reps are completed by team:
Dora .5 = 50 Burpees
Dora 1 = 100 Merkins
Dora 2 = 200 Squats
Dora 3 = 300 LBC (consider this Mary for the day)
Mosey to front of trackscan for 15 quick Mason Twist (IC)

-Glad to be able to fill in for Cupcake and prayers for a speedy recovery. It was to short of notice for me to plan a true Cupcake workout with Swayze trivia or a poker table so I improvised and incorporated his notorious hill instead.
-I am pretty sure I saw a call on Slack for a 445 launch for the pre-ruck or Standard Ruck, or what ever you crazy kids are calling it these days. I rolled in about 515 to see one lonley car and it did not belong to any of you courageous and aspiring HTLers but to the man who I think may be attempting to break the Senator Streak for consecutive posts. Nice work DEEPEND! I believe any Standard or Double Down should count as an extra post towards the streak. Senator, what was that number anyway, can you remember that far back?
-Not to beat a dead horse, but I should have confirmed with the HTL ruckers before my previous diatribe that they did not ruck at another AO for safety reasons after their near death experience with the aforementiond onev anxious Virgin Q from yesterday.
-I know there is a Merkin challenge this month, but before anyone starts doing Merkins on their own, while waiting for other pax to get to COT or finish Burpees, it is highly reccomended to check with YHC to see how many Merkins are planned on his mental weinke. Just sayin.
-There was not much mumblechatter this morning except for the occasional questioning about why Loveshack has been so angry lately. Some ideas flying around were that he knocked up the M again for number 5, not enough sleep or not enough food before the workout, (that is not true, Santiago said we can eat whenever we want). None of these reasons are the case as I do not feel angry, I just care about each and every one of your fitness.
-Always an honor and humbling experience to lead you men in a workout and see that you follow. Thank You!
Aye!
