Fourteen 65 year-old wanna be’s made it out to shuffle YHC into the Medicare years. With little fanfare we warmed up with 8 Burpees, SSH x 20 IC, Cotton Pickers x 10 IC, Windmills x 10 IC, Downward Dog stretch, and 8 Burpees.

Thang:  Mosey to Garber parking lot for the 8 of diamonds:  8 Burpees, sprint to corner; 16 LBC’s IC, mosey to corner; 24 Merkins, sprint to corner; 32 Squats, mosey to corner; 24 Merkins, backwards run to corner; 16 LBC’s, carioka to corner; 8 Burpees.

Mosey to sanctuary parking lot, the long way, for Black Jacks:  Big boy sit-ups on one side, run to other side for Merkins; total of 21 each time, ie 1 BB-20 M, then 2 BB-19 M, etc.  QIC missed on the timing (and difficulty of those big boys) so the exercise was halted at 16-17 big boys.  8 Burpees, then 8 Burpees.  Mosey to entrance to NBGCC for 8 Burpees, mosey to parking lot for 8 Burpees, then LSF.  One final Burpee to make 65.

Excellent work.  Can’t tell you what it means to be part of this group.  Thanks for the “65” in name-o-rama!

Always a pleasure to lead, outstanding effort by all.  McRib out – don’t be a LTO!
