45 degrees with a strong north wind greeted 19 redpillers at Sir E this morning. YHC explained that this was intended to be an Aunt Bea Q, but that his wife had contracted the stomach flu, and thus he would be unable to attend. Instead, we would pay homage to AB with different components of the workout starting right out with a reverse mosey capri lap. Following the loop we switched to a standard forward mosey, and made our way up towards the big house obviously not following sanctioned paths as is the standard under AB guidance.

We convened around the flag to get all warmed up.

The first evolution was dubbed the Crazy H8, but I’m also considering H8ful Eight. Borrowing a page out of Tidy Cat’s playbook we did the standard double-loop figure eight with the following rules in place:

  • 8x Burpees at the middle, top and bottom of the 8 starting and finishing with said Burpees for a total of 40.
  • 8x each of Atomic Merks, Jump Squats and WW1s at each speed bump. 10x speed bumps for a total of 80x reps of each.

We mosey’d to the homestead for: 50x calf raises (25x each leg) followed by 15x more each leg.

Mosey to the big lot for some island to island work: bear crawl to first island, broad jump to second island, burpee broad jump to final island.

Once all in we mosey’d back to the church playground for a quick 10x pullups (lock those arms out, BV) and 20x rows.

We had just enough time for the final portion of the morning, which, obviously had to end in classic Aunt Bea fashion…“Peaches” by Presidents of the USA: holding a plank perform a merkin each time you hear the word “peaches” or “peach”. Our muscles were tired, but our hearts were full as the music faded at the strike of 6:15am.

This was a tough workout, especially the first portion. Kudos to all for pushing themselves. Big Stick kept talking about how easy it was. That guy. We will need to review video evidence on whether Bagger was performing a cheat step on each of his burpee broad jumps. The ruling on the field was that he was.

Check Slack for info on the TAK PAKs. Let’s try to get a bunch of those together for a great cause. I was talking with the M today about getting our kids involved with putting those together. I think it could be a great family tradition. Numbtucks will be collecting them next week at Detention and the Racetrack.

See you boys in the gloom,
