WHERE: The Hurt Locker

THE PAX: Hombre, Bloodhound, Homeboy, Aquaman, Wham-O

Total # of PAX: 6

QIC: Babyface

INTRO:

 

So last night Bloodhound and YHC both received a text from Homeboy about a book he was reading.  In the book, a Navy SEAL came to live with a rich guy for a year and told the rich guy what to do for the year.  (I think that is the basic gist of the book, who really knows Homeboy was my Cliff Note source). Anyhow, in the book the Seal tested the guy to do as many burpees in 10 minutes as he could.  HB asked us how many we thought we could do. My immediate response was “probably enough to puke”. My second response was “show up the Hurtlocker in the Morning and we will find out”.

WARM-O-RAMA:

Quick lap around the little track then:

 

IC: SSH & Weed Pickers, then Sun Gods OYO as HB gave a quick background of what was to come and I grabbed the timer.

THE THANG:

With 10 minutes set on the Clock, We got rolling.  It was a long 10 minutes and at the end of it we learned a little about ourselves, and a lot about Hombre.  Hombre is a beast. 131 Burpees in 10 minutes at age 50.

 

Next, after a quick 10 count, we moseyed close to the field, but still in the parking lot for a little DORA, with Pop Jacks (100), Monkey Humpers (200), and LBCs (300).  While 1 partner exercised the other did 5 long jumps and then finished the undisclosed distance with walking lunges. We almost made it through before Wham-O had to take off to go be with Chapstick and his wife, but the LBC’s were not left undone.   With that not taking nearly as long as I had planned we had time to mosey to the picnic area for around of 11’s with Derkins & Reverse LBC’s. When done PAX held Derkin Plank for the 6, and then some. Finally, we went for a Mosey throwing in some OYO exercises along the way with DIps (20), Curb Calf raises (50), and Curb hand walks (20?) before finishing up at the flag right at 6:15.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Prayers for all the PAX traveling: The Mole (Mission trip) & Legionnaire (Thailand – Prayers more for Thailand)

Prayers for Chapstick and his procedure this morning.  As of writing this, it sounds like all went well and he is back home.

Prayers/Praise for Aquaman and his M

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Again, Hombre is a Beast.  Also, he was coincidentally our de facto 6th man today.  Dude has lived a life, and I’m proud to workout besides him in the gloom

Great job by Wham-O today with the Burpees.  Backs & Burpees don’t mix well and he worked his tail off.

Homeboy beat YHC by 1 Burpee, and that stings

Anyone that wants a crack at the Hurt Locke on a Monday is welcome to it. Just give me a shout. Its a great spot with plenty of fun challenges.
