Clarks 12 days of Christmas (2014)

Event Date

Dec 24, 2018


12 posted this morning to relive Clarks 12 days of Christmas crowd pleaser circa 2014. YHC did make one little change. In 2014 we didn't have pull-up bars yet. But now we do. The 12th day was changed from Austrailian Pull-ups to real pull-ups. Spork, Marker and Crawdad all posted earlier for a #TheStandard. YHC had planned to do the same, but oh well. The beatdown planned is sure to get the blood pumping as it's a solid hour of constant movement with almost zero rest. I say almost no rest, because I think everyone, at some point, including YHC tapped out for few seconds for some recovery.

Reflection
Luke 1 26-33
“God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
 

Moleskin
  • I would say that I'm surprised we had as many as 12 post this morning given half of them knew what was coming, but this is F3, we choose the harder option. (Except for some that means just running a slow mosey. Just kidding! Seriously wish them all the best during their marathon training)
  • From day 9 to 3 each round was especially hard for YHC as counting cadence when you are completely out of breath probably kills some brain cells.
  • Dive Bomber 'Mericans were "fun" your wives can thank me later for that one. But you can really thank P90X for the inspiration.
  • Crawdad comments that because of P90X he got a lot of clients. Let me say that I'd much rather have all of my friends going to physical therapy because of muscular issues from excercise than going to their physician because they haven't been exercising.
  • Yes Sonar, the Peter Parker 'Mericans are just a stationary Dragon Walk. Very observant.
  • Ziploc – My appologies to your 2.0's for turning them away in 2014 because of this beatdown.
