Intro:

Last week:
Legionnaire: “We should clown car”
Me: “Great idea we can meet at Publix!”

This week:
Me: (flies right by Publix)
Legionnaire: Guess that means no Clown Car…

It was a cold and gloomy morning at the Castle Black’s North Wall. No worries, there’s enough in this beatdown to shed layers even on the coldest of March mornings.

Warm-o-Rama:

0530 Mosey! Around the front parking lot and over to the bridge on the way out.

Disclaimer given with our FNG present.

The Thang:

Thang 1:
– 15 4×4's
– 4×4's are Burpees, but with 4 Merkins followed by 4 Mountain Climbers (both legs = 1)
– YHC must be cranky on cold mornings, so we hit the hard stuff early
– Told you I was stuck on 15's today

Thang 2:
– The Inaugural Castle Black Quarter Mile
– From crosswalk at the bridge, down to the crosswalk at the entrance, and back up the hill is exactly 0.25 Miles

Thang 3:
– B.O.M.B.S.!!! (((Shhh I mean bombs)))
– You have to say it quietly, this is a school after all
– Partner UP! We had 8, luckily an even number
– One partner runs a lap around front of school, other performs exercises, then switch
– As a team, perform the following:
– 50 Burpees
– 100 Overheads (We did Carolina Dry Docks)
– 150 Merkins
– 200 Big Boy Sit-ups
– 250 Squats

Naked Man Moleskin:

Barbershop, Cricket's Bro-in-law, is in the music business. He's a crooner who sings the classic big band stuff. Not only that, the dude can RUN. Great to meet ya' – would love to see you out there again sometime Barbershop!

Earhart was the man with the Coffeteria this morning complete with Cream and Salted Caramel Flavor. 2 pumps for me! Thanks!

Legionnaire – sorry about the Clown Car screwup, I'll do better next week.

Aisle 7 – had to skedaddle for the 2.0's but great to see him out at another AO last week.

Wilson – Good work today brother, it won't get easier you just get stronger!

Cricket and Aphrodite – I keep waiting for some stories about zone defense with all the kids. I think it's 9 between the two of ya…

It was an honor to protect the north wall while our founder and fearless leader Dixie Chick was out of town. See you soon!
