Introduction
Small crowd this morning. Seems everyone went elsewhere or decided to stay in their warm beds? Maybe that was a better choice? No secrets for this beatdown…the workout was as clear as the sky this glorious morning.
Warm-O-Rama
Once the timer started, we commenced the WOR as a group as detailed in the workout. All movements were 4 count and done in cadence. All movements were 13 reps. There were 5 WOR movements: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Shoulder Taps, Mountain Climbers, and Plank Jacks. Upon completion of WOR the rest of the workout was performed OYO
The Thang
PAX completed the below in order for time (timer started at WOR)
800m Run then perform 85 Reps of each movement followed by 8 Burpees
HRM/Burpees
BB Sit-ups/Burpees
Goblet Squats/Burpees
Dips/Burpees
OHP/Burpees
4CT Flutterkicks/Burpees
KB Swings/Burpees
then do an 800m Run.
Time stops once PAX completes.
Upon completion, PAX picked up the 6. All PAX (Dilly Dilly, Quatro, and YHC) completed with a few minutes to spare so we made a short walk around half of the parking area before returning to the pavilion to close out the session.
Circle of Trust
Announcements were sort of a joint effort as some of us older PAX can’t read without our reading glasses. (Stench vs Strength) 🙂 TAPs were sent out to those spoken as well as those on our hearts and minds.
Naked Man Moleskin
First and foremost, this workout was sooooo fun! Great effort to all the MEN that were in attendance to include a few PAX that decided to MASH and join the rest of the PAX for the COT. No excuses MEN….if you’re on the mend you can still get out in the gloom and enjoy some good mumble chatter with other MEN. Although this beatdown was a you versus you, I can tell you for certain that when I saw another PAX resting, I was doing reps and I’m fairly confident he was doing the same. He caught me on the flutter kicks and never looked back. YHC had brought a bag of marshmallows that intrigued a few PAX before the beatdown. I let the cat out of the bag during the COT:
Today is National Toasted Marshmallow Day
This day has been around since the early 2000s and celebrates one of America’s favorite summertime treats. Whether you enjoy them melted between two graham crackers or by themselves, marshmallows have been a staple sweet treat for generations. From roasting over an open fire to melting cocoa, heck put one in your coffee (didn’t taste that good), there are so many ways to enjoy this fluffy confectionery delight! Enjoy!!
And it was fitting when it was mentioned we shouldn’t be a marshmallow. So go eat a marshmallow versus deciding to be one today (or any day for that matter)
