Mini Murph at Grindstone

AO: Grindstone

When: 2024-05-13

QIC: Mantooth

PAX (6): Crab Cake, jugdish, Mantooth, Snoopy, Spit Valve, Toast

Preamble:

Decided to cross over 400 and lead the Eastsiders in a BeatDown.

Warm-O-Rama:

Moseyed to the top of the parking lot by the tennis courts. Started the warm-up with some SSH, Good Mornings, Weed Pickers, Little Sun gods, Big Sun gods, and Michael Phelps OYO while I explained the BD.

The Thang:

Was originally going to run the trail around the park for a mile, but decided to audible to the parking lot since it was lighted. With Murph coming up at the end of the month, I wanted to try a variation of it (but substituting out Pull-Ups with BBSs). With a 25 minute clock, PAX ran 3 down and backs of the parking lot to get close to a mile (probably should have made it 4), then completed AMRAP of 10 Merkins, 15 Squats, and 20 Big Boy Situps. After about 7-8 rounds of exercises, YHC checked the clock thinking we were getting close to finished... NOPE! Still 13 and some change to go. That's when I knew it was going to be a tough one. Other PAX expressed their appreciation of the beat down as we continued on as well. Once the 25 minutes was up, PAX ran another 3 down and backs of the parking lot. With about 6 minutes left (and Jugdish still EH-ing a dude to avoid continuing with the beat down), we moseyed to the grass by the football field to finish with AMRAP of 5 Burpees and 10 American Hammers (Alpha count). Jugdish decided he could join us for the last two minutes to go.

COT:

Announcements for Night Shift coming up on June 8th, Murph possibly at North High (TBD), and talks of the Hero Climb on May 25th. Prayers for Snoopy's step-dad, Phil, as he battles lung cancer and will have surgery this week. Prayers for Schneider's dad as he continues his battle with medical problems.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

It was great to come over to the other side of the tracks and see what life was like on the Eastside. I won't let it be as long of a gap before I return again. Thanks for letting me lead, gentlemen!
