Frigid day at The Swanson, Gloom Misery Index of 37, but 5 PAX made it out to better themselves and each other. YHC decided a blast from the past was in order, and the beatdown proved to smoke all.

Warm-o-Rama:

  • The Googan lap (in which Googan did indeed show up)
  • Captain Callout – SSH, jog, high knees, butt kickers, jog, sprint, all on YHC’s callout. 3x rounds completed. Nice and warm.
  • String rippers, x10 IC
  • Sun Gods, x10 IC fwd/rev
  • Witch’s brew, x8 IC cw/ccw each arm

COT:

YHC reminded all that February is black history month and highlighted a couple items from some black leaders in our country.

  • Buffalo Soldiers – Honoring them with our ruck challenge this month. Peace time regiments formed which helped with westward expansion and fought in the decades long

Naked Man Moleskin:

* Even high ierkins are difficult after SO MANY -erkins.

** PAX got a little sloppy on counting. Definitely greater than 11.
