Moseyed to side of the school taking the long path to avoid the wet practice field. There we found the benches where we did 20 dips and 20 Irkins IC. We then moseyed to the track carefully navigating the ravine. There we did a half Merkin Mile followed by 4 50-yard sprint races. After each race we did an exercise (Squats, Dips, Lunges, & LBCs). We then did the 2nd half of the Merkin Mile before rinsing and repeating the sprints & exercises. We retrieved our cones and headed for the covered area on the other side of the school. On the way there YHC took an unfortunate track across a muddy wet field which gave rise to complaints from his Co-Q. At the covered area we started with 75 calf raises OYO, followed with a raccoon crawl and some box work which included Step Ups, Dips, Irkins, & Derkins. We then did another 75 Calf Raises before heading to the parking lot.

Glad to have Rusty back for the week and Oz is on deck for the Fartlek and Bitcoin has Bushwood.

We moseyed to Garber parking lot for…
15 Merkins, Sprint to end, 15 Sumo Squats, Sprint Back
15 Werkins, Sprint to end, 15 Sumo Squats, Sprint Back

We then ran to Trent Shores Drive with the faster runners circling back at several points. We then chose partners and alternated between Squats & Merkins until 60 total exercises were completed. We then did Partner Shoulder Presses until each team reached 60. At this point YHC completely forgot to inquire if anyone remembered the origin of the name of Pembroke Road. Will need to cover another time.

We then returned to the club parking lot the same we came with alternating speeds between light posts.

Being behind schedule we skipped.

The distance, according to Kevorkian’s watch, was 3.4 miles. (More for those looping back) It is always an honor to lead this group.

Back at the cones we did 8 50 yard sprints. After every other sprint we did 20 exercises (Lunges, Squats, & Merkins). There was some mumble chatter about the appropriate wording of the 3 command start and YHC swiftly changed to On OUR Mark, Get Set, Go.
We then gathered the cones, did 20 Merkins – ran ¼ mile, 20 Merkins, ran ¼ to the covered area to complete our mile. Upon finding a box we did Dips, Irkins, WWII’s, (20 each IC) followed by 50 Calf Raises before returning to our boxes for a rinse and repeat.

Double Dipper invited the crew, especially those with younger children to his house (next weekend I believe.) We closed with a short prayer.

I’m on point for tomorrow and Mr. Roboto has Bushwood, but we need more Qs!
Always appreciate the opportunity to lead.

With the rain picking up we relocated to the covered area in front of the convention center where we continued with Downward Dog calf stretches.

With the storm increasing in intensity we stayed at the covered area and did a series of 20 Squats, Lunges, Merkins, & Imperial Walkers. When the rain let up some we headed for the field but diverted when another heavy band of rain emerged and we made our way to the covered area at the Galley Store where we did Squats, Lunges, Merkins, & Calf Raises. Seeking a change of scenery, we moved to the covered area next to the building where we did People’s Chair, BTW, Squats, Lunges, WWII’s, & American Hammers. With a break in the heavy rain and being short on time, we Moseyed back to the front of the convention center for a Raccoon Crawl, Sumo Squats, Dips, Irkins, & Derkins. With the heavy rain continuing, we stayed at the covered area for…
