The BackBlast:

Intro:

The EC Ruckers got a late start and wound up rolling in hot because they EH’d a security guard who was protecting the park bathrooms from vandals. He was floored that someone would plant a flag these days…YHC has hope we’ll see him in the gloom. After intros, missions, and disclaimers were announced, the 5 brave souls venturing into the cold gloom attacked the WOR with…

Warm-o-Rama:

A slightly longer mosey to get the blood pumping. PAX circled up for

SSH – 15 IC

String Rippers – 10 IC

Imperial Walkers – 10 IC

Sun Gods – Forward, Reverse x 10 each IC and hold

Chinooks – Clockwise, counterclockwise x 10 each

And another Mosey to the field where Bunsen Cones* were waiting.

The Thang:

Part A – Cones were placed approximately a football field width apart. PAX were to run** to one end, perform exercise and reps, and hold for the 6 (plank, Al Gore, Imperial Walkers, depending on YHC call-out). Reps increased in proper ladder format:

5 – Burpees

10 – Apollo Ohno

15 – BBSU

20 – Patty Cake Merkins

25 – X-treme Flutter Kicks

30 – Am. Hammers

35 – Merkins

40 – Squats

45 – LBC

50 – Overhead Claps

Part B – F3 IM’s

PAX were given 1:30 to complete all four exercises in increasing reps OYO.*** Next set started immediately. Reps started at 5 each, and increased until 10 each were performed.

Set: Burpees, Merkins, Flutter Kicks, SSH

Part C – 9-2-5

PAX performed 9 Squats, sprinted to the cones and performed 5 Merkins with 2 burpees half way. Flapjack back.

There was a bit of time to return to Part A and PAX worked back down the ladder to 30, where YHC called Omaha. PAX moseyed to the flag for…

6MoM:

Hurricane Hoedown

7 reps of each set of flutter kicks IC

1. PAX up in “boat” pose with arms raised in air

2. PAX in “boat” with hands behind

3. Normal Flutterkicks

4. LBC Flutterkicks

American Hammers – IC x 20

COT:

Prayers went out to Gump’s father, to have him lifted up and healed. Also, to YHC friend’s family, who lost their mother-in-law unexpectedly.

Lastly, prayers for school board to make good, strong decisions to help create positive learning environments that allow our boys and girls grow to be strong men and women.

Naked Man Moleskin:

* YHC bought cones early on and were a staple for Qs. It was time for a return

** Somewhere between a run and sprint was encouraged. YHC pushed faster and faster as the morning wore on!

*** Some PAX suggested 5 was easy and we could do a bunch more. 2 sets later, mumblechatter was non-existent.
