Preamble:

Our man Spider called for a substi-Q, and with an important personal milestone on the horizon YHC felt compelled to throw another Q on the fire themed around hitting half-century old (sigh)  

Warm-O-Rama:

quick mosey to Dosi circle (not officially named) for 19 SSH, 7 merkins, and 4 burpees; see what I did there?

The Thang:

Here's how it all went down: merkin mile #1 consisted of 5 stops on a tour de crabapple totaling 49 merkins. Once on location at the parking deck, YHC attempted to explain the simple yet somehow complicated format of this next section. Nirvana's 3yr anniversary was this weekend, so in honor of the greatest AO ever, let's complete 3 separate mini-Doras. Once the 1st is complete, run laps until all are finished so we can start #2 together - those were the instructions, I'm somewhat sure of it. Mini-Dora #1= 49 burpees, 100 merkins, 150 plank jacks, the run was up the stairs, across and down on the other side. So, somehow most PAX were stopping, or running laps, or asking questions after doing only the 49 burpees...wtf?  haha - more clarification on YHC's part really helped set it straight, and away we went in beautiful harmony with our music filling the lot. Mini-Dora #2= 49 v-ups, 100 hello dolly, 150 freddy mercury. ...knowing to get home will require a 2nd merkin mile, YHC called for the return trip at 0740 where once back at the flag we could attempt to finish the 3rd Mini-Dora. So, another 49 merkins performed on the 1mi trip back there was indeed time for 7/8 of the final dora before time was called  -  

COT:

lots of need out there. We heard from several men who know of loss, illness, cancer treatments, surgeries, and struggles within the home.  We have to trust in the power of prayer in our difficult times and lean on each other for that extra support a good friendship can provide. Always a pleasure to lead -

Naked-Man Moleskin:

some good mileage out there today and everyone pushed hard to crush it! dosi out
