21 intrepid pax started the week with an invigorating walk in the park. Co-QIC Flounder issued a rambling, but ultimately complete disclaimer including a direct legal immunity for YHC, before making a break for the warm-up circle, where he led the combined group through:

WARMARAMA: Seal Jacks, Abe Vigodas, Seam Rippers, Mountain Climbers and Chinook Squats. Varying quantities; all in cadence.

Then Flounder led the Feats of Strength group into the dark woods with a promise of “choices”. Wonder how that turned out?

Boot campers proceeded behind the school to the pickup benches via double file indian run. Given no choice, except to choose a partner, the pax assembled at the foot of the hill below the benches for:

Bleacher Snakes!
with hills, trees and cones standing in for actual bleachers

Partner 1 – run the snake, backpedal up the hill, run down.
Partner 2 – Complete exercise while P1 is snaking. Then switch
Three sets with 1) Carolina Dry Docks, 2) Merkins, 3) Shoulder Taps

Partner 1 – run the snake: lunge uphill, bear crawl down hill
Partner 2 – Lt Dans

Partner 1 – run the snake straight on
Partner 2 – move to the benches for exercises.
Three sets with 1) Pistol Stand-up L Leg, 2) Pistol Stand-up R Leg, 3) Dips

Direct mosey back to basketball court for Six or so Minutes of Mary:
Cindy Crawfords 13 IC each side
LBCs, 15 IC
Reverse LBC, 15 IC – a little disagreement from the pax regarding accelerated cadence, which RARELY happens with FloRida counts. Consulting the literature, YHC acknowledges there are multiple accepted forms of Reverse LBC, some involving a greater range of motion than was permitted today. Might have to work on this one before the next Q.
American Hammers 20 IC
