– OYO Good Mornings and WMH

THE THANG:
Thang 1: Mosey to upper parking lot and partner up. 1 PAX holds a Hollow Body Hold, the other runs a suicide (do we have an alternate name for this?), and swap. 3 rounds total.

MOLESKINE: The goal was lots of core/full body engagement. There was no theme except for the absence of merkins and burpees and other exercises that aggravate my elbow… or was there? Perhaps there was a story told in the playlist that was almost completely divorced thematically from the actual workout?

Drop one rep and repeat all the way down to 1 Jump Squat and a shuttle.

Sticking around the courts, PAX circled up for everybody’s favorite jerk, Jack Webb: Merkins and Air Presses in a 1:4 ratio. We took this one all the way up to 10:40, and everyone LOVED it.

Mosey to Sunnyside Hill

Lining up with previous partner at the base of the hill, P1 performed LBCs while P2 sprinted up to the flag. RnR x 3.

Since we didn’t get here alone, one last AYG with everybody together up the hill before a mosey back to the startex.

COT/BOM

MOLESKINE:
It was truly an honor to lead this workout. I had no idea what the heck I was getting into 10 years ago, but I’m glad I didn’t let that stop me. Really grateful for the all the men that have stepped up to lead along the way. Whether it’s been as a workout Q, an AOQ, or a position at the regional level, you are making me and countless others better for it. I don’t take that for granted. Nor should you.

Can’t wait to see what the next decade holds!

Also, a special thanks to all of you who brought coffee, baked goods, and other refreshments for extended coffeeteria. What a great way to end!

BULLHORN:
