Grease Trap let it be known that he followed one Calf Killer all the way in from The Shire this AM only to see him turn right into the old Horse Barn to hang out with Fern.  YHC was noticeably disturbed (more than usual) and saddened by this news and we headed over to the Old Horse Barn to wrangle him up to no avail.

As we passed one of the BANKS in Brentwood, Grease Trap commented that he must have not gotten the Memo that Smokeboots moved to B’Wood.  It was at this point that YHC shared his transgressions and broke right with no warning to Crawfish’s old haunt for

PAX of 8: Olan Mills, Big Bang, Ebola, Twinkle, Canary, Blackwiddow, Tinder (FNG via Offshore & Canary) and Offshore (QIC).

The PAX took a quick mosey up the hill to the parking garage for some warm ups after the disclaimer is given. SSHx10, goodmornings x10, willie mays x10, baby arm circles both ways x 10, 10 merkins, squats x10 all in cadence.

The PAX then paid tribute to the Summer through a convergence of cardio and strength highlighting the 6 story parking garage as a venue. Each set began by running six flights and checking out of stairwell with 5 burpies to then run the parking deck and down the adjacent stairwell and back. To then enter the stairwell each PAX completed an exercise to then enter back into the stairwell and dog days of summer.

M – merkins x 20

M – diamond merkins x 20

06/06/2018- The RaceTrack- Conditions were perfect

PAX: Black Widow, Offshore, BigBang, Yardsale, Cinderella, Dr. Smart, Numbtucks, Olan Mills, Boothill (F3 Memphis), Twinkle (FNG), Funyuns (QIC)

11 PAX started the day off right at The RaceTrack. YHC decided to pay tribute the brave soldiers of the allied forces who stormed the beaches of Normandy on this day 74 years ago. We did partner work because not one soldier made it out alive without help from his brothers. Our rep counts were variations of 6, 30, 60, 300 because the amphibious invasion kicked off at 6:30 AM

Overlord (code name of operation): Mosey around the track for 972 meters (0.6 mi) and circle up in the grass for COP: 30 SSHs IC, 15 GMsIC, 15 WMHsIC, 10 tempo merkins, 15 BKsIC. YHC’s original plan was to mosey for 1944 m (1.2 mi), but had to audible for time reasons. Audible: 6 burpees every 30 seconds for 3 minutes (6 rounds)

 Airborne Drop: 60 pullups (split between partners), then 300 m run together. While doing pull-ups, resting partner held hands in the air (hallelujah style). Also ran hallelujah style. Plank for 6.

Omaha Beach: Partner/Buddy drag across grass (60 m) and back, 300 m hallelujah run together

Utah Beach: 60 merkins (split, rest in high plank), 300 m hallelujah run together

Gold Beach: 60 squat jumps (split, rest in squat hold), 300 m hallelujah run

Sword Beach: 60 thrusters (split, rest high plank), 300 m hallelujah run

Juno Beach: 60 burpees (split), hallelujah run back to parking lot for Mary

Mary: 30 WW11s IC, 30 FKs IC, 30 American Hammers IC

BOM/COT

Bullhorn: Welcome FNG Twinkle! Great to have Boothill from F3Memphis as well. Great work by all the PAX. Good MC and encouragement by all. Continue to pray for all the PAX and others.

NM: It was a honor to lead on this day and try to pay a small tribute to the soldiers who stormed those beaches. Unfortunately, most of the WW11 veterans have either passed away or close to passing away. I encourage you to spend some time with these men if you happen to know a WW11 veteran. If you don’t personally know one, then read a book or listen to a podcast about the sacrifice that these men and their families made for each other and the freedom that we enjoy today. At least watch Band of Brothers and The Pacific.

Alex Kershaw wrote in the forward of Omaha Beach and Beyond by Sgt. Bob Slaughter, ” I don’t care if this sounds shamelessly sentimental. It is the truth: Bob Slaughter and his kind walk like giants among us today. They are not long for this world. So while they are still here to shake our hands, we should read what they write and listen to what they say. They were there. They can tell us what it was like to fight during America’s finest hour- June 6, 1944. They can tell us that only for the greatest of causes should any young American lay down his life.”

“Think not only upon their passing. Remember the glory of their spirit.”

Funyuns

PAX: Barely Legal (Q), Off Shore, Numbtux, Umbrella, Olan Mills, Yardsale, Black Widow, Too Tall, Headstud, Dr. Smartt, GreaseTrap, and an FNG hereby known as “Cash McMogulston”.

SnapChats were sent, Finstas were created, and crippling amounts of college debt were acquired in the name of getting a humanities degree and becoming a barista at today’s Generation Z led workout.

Short mosey to the parking garage, followed by a warm up consisting of SSH’s, WMH’s, good mornings, “scrots”, baby arm circles (forward and backward), and merkins (may or may not have lost count on these).

A circuit was run, with all 12 PAX running up the stairs to the roof of the parking garage, where a group exercise took place.  The group then ran back down the other side, after which another exercise took place.  This circuit was repeated until the following had been accomplished: 10 burpees, 20 jump squats, 30 WWI’s (miscounted yet again and was swiftly called out by GreaseTrap), 40 SSH’s, 50 shoulder taps, a 60 second low plank, and finally 70 double hip taps (whether this is an actual movement or a joke remains a mystery).

The group then headed to the Racetrack and split into 2 groups; Group 1 doing strict pull ups and Group 2 bear crawling across the field and “sprinting” back.  After completing the bear crawl, the groups switched. Then this was repeated, but with rows instead of pull ups.  Modification was indeed necessary on the bear crawls.

A quick Indian Run back to the parking lot left us with just enough time to be punished by GreaseTrap and his cruel Mary, including WWI’s, American Hammers, and a painful low plank.

Hopefully a good time was had by all.

Barely Legal out.
