WARMORAMA (9-Lives):
In honor of Lt. Michael Murphy's birthday (1976) we did a modified Murph warm-up…Helping Hands x10 (no pull-up bars), Mericans x10ic, Squats x15ic. Complaints that we didn't start with SSH, so, SSH x20ic. Worried we were going to pull a hammie, so Cotton Pickers x10ic
ROUND 1 (Cousin Eddie):
Mosey over to the back parking lot for some :45 intervals of various exercises with :15 rest in between. I remember doing Squats, Mountain Climbers, Mericans, LBCs, Plank Jacks, Man Maker Poses (w/o Merican), Step Ups, Dips, Jumping Lunges

ROUND 3 (Cousin Eddie)
Mosey back to the knee walls for step ups, dips. Mosey to the curb for curb hops and shuffle backs. Hip Dips.
ROUND 4 (9-Lives)
Partner Up for 300 total WW2 Sit Ups. Partner 1 runs to the big rig while Partner 2 does Sit Ups, Flip Flop until complete. AUDIBLE: 150 total (to help sway the vote, of course)
Catch Me If You Can…Partner 1 does 5 Mericans and catches up to Partner 2, Partner 2 slow jog until Partner 1 catches up and then does 5 Mericans. Repeat until back to the launch pad the long way.

MOLESKIN:
-Luckily Stromboli showed up to run the standard with me. I was already considering an extra 30 minute nap before the beatdown. Iron Sharpens Iron.
-Kotters to Captain America. I haven't seen him in so long. Great to have you out again. Hope to see you again, soon.
-This workout was a real smoker! Sorry I didn't get to hang out afterwards for coffee. Apparently, there was some election tampering going on at Starbucks.
-I, somehow ended up on the winning side of this contest, but Cousin Eddie is a worthy opponent. I appreciate the competition and all the pax participation in keeping us on our game. I don't know if this had anything to do with the vote, but he was quoted as saying, "MoFos" a few times and "Get After It!" Someone asked if that was Millennial for "Exercise."
-QvQ is an awesome idea as it gets Qs sharpening their skills and all the pax out due to their curiosity and FOMO. I'm honored to be a part of it.
-Thanks to Outlaw for allowing us to take over the finest AO in Cornelius for just one morning. I hope we honored you by not delivering any Burpees *wink*
