Merican-fest at The Cauldron

Event Date

Mar 11, 2016


11 kettlebell equipped Pax descended upon Torrence Creek Elementary for The Cauldron, led by YHC.  As YHC pulled into the parking lot I saw enough minivans for about 50 pax…what’s this, a rucktard convention?  Nope, just M’s dropping off their youngsters for a field trip.

  • Auto bought a kettlebell, can’t wait to see what size.He didn’t bring it today because it’s new and he didn’t want to scratch it up

  • Frontier has mad “handle”…at least that’s what the pax were thinking as he lunged walked while alternating the kb between his legs Muggsy Bogues-style, and beat the rest of the pax consistently by a large margin

  • YHC had brain-fog all morning…what is this squat called…oh yeah, the goblet squat.Get into the Preacher’s chair…I mean, the People’s Chair.The pax did their job and relentlessly berated the Q.

  • YHC correctly called the Russian Twist, thanks Olive for the back-handed compliment and defense from Frogger

  • Funky-town needs to visit The Sword on Monday’s

  • Mumble-chatter was strong, no surprise given the pax present.Fill in what was missed, forgotten, and/or mentally blocked out of YHC’s head in the comments below.

  • We ended with 22 Mericans…an estimated 22 veterans take their own life daily.Keep them in your prayers and as a reminder, do 22 mericans per day for the rest of the month.

  • Well led COT by Fiddy, thanks brother!

Aye!
