YHC arrived a bit early and put unlaminated sheets around the CLOCK (aka Trinity Ridge). Two pre-runners (Patti Mayo and Doughboy) passed YHC and threatened to tear them up… …may need to work with Reading Rainbow to get these things laminated…
Short Sale shares his experiences losing his way and strangers shouting advice in the dark during the Mortimer Relay, and then it’s 5:30. Six PAX ready, so YHC jumps into the Warm-up:
- 25 SSH’s in cadence (speeding up as we go just to keep everyone on their toes)
- 10 LAC’s
- 10 RAC’s
- 10 Humpies
- 10 IST’s
Then we mosey to our favorite parking lot for feeding the wolves. We alternate between bear crawls and lunge walks to one end, then turn around and do the same thing. But different, because we turned around. Shorty claimed he got “vu ja de”. Mosey onward to the CLOCK.
YHC explained this brand new variation: An extra station at the dumpster where we do Yul Brynners (7 Merkins in a row: Carolina Dry Dock, Wide-arm Merkin, Merkin, Ranger Merkin, Diamond Merkin, Crucible Merkin, Sink Hole Merkin) followed by the regular 12 CLOCK stations. This time, instead of 12, descending by 1, for a single exercise, YHC gave each station its own exercise, and PAX doe 12 reps at each station. Once finished, another round of Yul Brynners, then descend by 2 for 10 reps at the 12 stations. Yul Brynner then 8, then 6, etc.
CLOCK stations include
- Hand Release Burpees (lots of mumble-chatter)
- No Surrenders
- Wide Arm Merkins
- Gas Pumps
- Burpees (YHC was already a station or two behind the first PAX to reach this one but heard “Biscuits” being mumble-yelled from there)
- Peter Parkers
- Froggers
- Hand Release Merkins
- Diamond Merkins
- Big Boy Sit-ups
- Star Jumps
- Merkins
YHC completed about 2.4 rotations about the clock before time, but Patti Mayo got at least 4 and threw in another Yul Brynner before we all picked up the unlaminated sheets and headed back to the flag.
Count-o-rama, name-o-rama, and YHC shared Psalm 1 and what success looks like. Prayer and out!
SYITG!
