WARMUP: Good mornings SSH WMH
THE THANG: To recognize how close Odysseus and his men got to Ithaca, but never could quite make it, we moseyed to the tennis courts and did three suicides almost making to the end, but never making it home, increasing speed each time.

🌀 STATION 4: SCYLLA & CHARYBDIS Where odysseus must navigate between Scylla, the six headed monster and Charybdis, whose waves will seallow the ships. Odysseus makes the decision to sacrifice six of his men.
12 burpees (add a second pushup) 20 windshield wipers
Inchworm back to station one
Not enough time to do a second round, so we added army crawls to the mosey to station two in reverse lunges to the Bernie between station three and four.

MARY: Forced to sneak back into his home there is now filled with suitors for Penelope, Odysseus fights and slay these suitors before reuniting with his wife.
20 Freddie mercury’s 15 Ithacan hammers 15 Hello Dollies
Some light stretching and breathing to close this out.
MOLESKINE: Story of the Odyssey is one of pursuit for family and relying on the support of those around you. And since it’s been 25 years since I read the Odyssey, I probably messed up a lot of the facts, still a good time to by all.
