INTRO:

el Hombre bailed on the WW (again) this week and tossed the reigns over to YHC – who slammed together a wicked awesome plan of attack. Massive recruiting efforts yielded three newbies (Ma Bell, Grylls, and Hank Hill). I might be wrong about Ma Bell, but let’s go with it. Lots of early chatter about headlamps. the fear and concern were palpable.  Perfect. Let’s go…

WARM-O-RAMA:

Head over to Jason’s barn where we avoided murder and knocked out some warm up type stuff. Grylls with a vicious attack on my weed picker form. He’s clearly in a mood about that headlamp. More on that in a bit. On the bright side, Hank Hill found $0.21 on the ground so at least we’ve got that going for us.    

THE THANG:

We set off on the main trail and the plan was to do a “double back” beatdown throughout the morning. We got off to a good start by back tracking up the long ankle busting hill to the downed tree where we hammered through a decreasing set of dips 20/15/10/5 and then set off to the low field where we regrouped for 100 SSH. With the heart rate up and the blood pumping, we continued on in what soon would become a desperate search for that sneaky “power line” trail. What do you learn when you have a group of leaders/alpha’s/sales guys/BD guys? We’re uber positive, and we all know EXACTLY where we’re going….that is until, we all took turns getting lost. Hank Hill calmly asks: “so how long have you been running out here…?” 3-4 months, bro. Shut it!

Well, HB got lucky and we at least found one of the hidden pull-up bar zones where we did sets of 5/4/3/2/1 pull ups while the waiting pax did LBC’s in the leaves. 

At approximately 06:07, we popped out at a spot with just enough time to hit those freaking power lines once and for all! Brisk jog down the hill to the creek crossing, where we set up a double-back indian run with a 5 second gap between each runner. HB stayed in a full sprint up the long hill, making it tough for everyone to catch him. Nice way to punish the newbies, bro.

Arrive back at the vehicles for about 90 seconds of American Hammers where we counted up to 10 and back down to 1 holding strong for the final 30 seconds at the end.

The ruckers came out right at the same time and we circled up for the…

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Some chatter about this week’s service events, the flag football at SHS, and then Hasbro closed us out with a great prayer.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Duke and his all-beefarino diet. Dropped the deuce at 5:25a and totally nuked the flag zone. Sheesh. Rusty!!

Ma Bell making introductions with his real name. Fail

Grylls very worried about that non-working head lamp. Threw him off all morning – and continued with some all-star whining in this morning’s Slack.  Apparently there was also an ankle injury involved. Manning likes injuries.

I think Hank Hill has possibly taken his name a little too seriously. It’s like he actually thinks he’s Hank Hill. Doesn’t this phenomenon happen to actors? He did power through with a horrific pinky toe boo boo, which is nice.

Hasbro weaved stories about how he was a victim of a hit and run, and I’m not really sure what else they did on their man-walk. They did get in about 2.5 miles out in the gloom.

No coffee, no flag, no matter. The WW is awesome. YOU need to try it!
