11 pax posted at Mighty Oak this morning to get their mid week beatdown.

YHC ran a 3 mile solo #Standard beforehand along the usual (at least for YHC) route through MacAulay neighborhood.

As YHC was finishing the #Standard R2D2 called out from near his car “Is this a running workout or a bootcamp?”  “It’s a bootcamp,” I said, which was not a lie, but we would be doing a little running today for sure.

Mosey to the usual (at least for YHC) warmup spot.  Disclaimer.

WARM-O-RAMA

• SSH x 25 IC
• IST x 10 IC
• Toy Soldier x 10 IC
• Slippery Dip Can x 10 IC
• Slow Squat x 10 IC

THANG

Mosey to bus lot behind school.

YHC reveals to the pax, to less grumbling than expected, that first task is a mini-sharknado.  For those not yet indoctrinated, that is:

• Burpee x 15 OYO
• Lap around bus lot (supposed to be ~0.15 mi)
• Diamond Merican x 20 OYO
• Lap
• WWII Situp x 20 OYO
• Lap
• Merican x 20 OYO
• Lap
• Scorpion Dry Dock x 20 OYO

Full sharknado is 5x the above.  We did 2x today.

Crocs, Lego, Smokey, and Hoodie led the way, and picked up the six when finished.

Mosey to wall:

• People’s Chair (only 75% to start, then full wall sit)
• Air Press x 15 IC
• Brief recovery
• People’s Chair
• Touch Them Heels x 15 IC

Mosey back to bus lot.  Partner up for Dora 1-2-3:

• Alternating Side Lunge x 100
• Overhead Clap x 200
• Flutter Kick x 300

Partner runs to 3rd basketball hoop, then returns and flip-flop.

When all done, we had one more exercise:

• Burpee x 10 OYO (to get us to 40 on the day)

Recover, recover.

MOLESKINE

• Thanks to Estwing for allowing YHC to lead the pax this morning, and then soliciting EH’s on Twitter when he realized that he wasn’t feeling 100% and may not be able to make it himself.  Feel better brother!
• Thanks to the pax who joined me this morning, and special thanks to GBs (Lego, Smoke, Hoodie) who have all helped push me to get out more than I did for a stretch over the winter.  Feeling much better these days – thanks, guys.  Let’s keep grinding.
• I hate DonHo missed this one.  He loves a good Sharknado.
• We once again nailed the 40 burpees mark for Lego, who is getting 40 per day the entire year (his 40th bday year).  Already 4.5+ months done with that, very impressive.  I did the Force 50 burpee way back in January 2022 and I couldn’t wait to be done with that.  And that was only 1 month.
• I was still feeling Mulligan’s rep-heavy beatdown on Monday at Arnie’s.  I’m sure Lego, Smoke, and Roadie were as well.  Kudos to Mulligan for getting out again this morning, as I know he was calling and therefore had to do all of those reps on Monday (while YHC was definitely taking mid set breaks).
• R2D2 reported that there is a F3 Dad’s weekend opportunity coming up on May 5 / Cinco De Mayo at Dan Nicholas park in Salisbury.  Come for the full weekend and camp with the 2.0s and 2.1s or just come for the Saturday.  There are tons of things to do at that park.  Reach out to R2D2 for details if interested.
• YHC was going to take us out, but after soliciting pax for prayers (getting one) and about to bring in the pax for ball of man, Fire Scout had something on his heart, and started to speak it into the circle.  It was perfect opportunity for YHC to yield to him to take us out, and he did, and it was great.  Thanks brother.
• Thanks as always to Auto and Eeyore for the EH in June 2016.  I’m forever grateful.

Aye,

TC
