YHC and Chum arrived at the AO with 3 minutes to spare and discovered a bright-eyed FNG ready to go (Welcome “Claussen”). After a few introductions, 3 more PAX rolled an and we were ready to go. Let’s do it.

Warm-up

• SSH x25
• Frankenstein x10 ic
• The chinook (overhead arm circles) x10 ic
• Box jumps x 10 ic
• Windmill x10 ic

B.O.M.B.S*

Partner up for a DORA but with specific exercises and counts: The duo performs exercises and reps as follows, one at a time while the other PAX ran the bus loop:

• 50- Burpees
• 100- Overhead Claps
• 150- Merkins
• 200- Big Boy Sit-ups
• 250- Squats.

YHC totally underestimated the time it would take to complete the BOMBs (see COT) so ran out of time for the other 2 planned exercises.  Now I know!

• Hump Day Happy Hour (HDHH) at Briar Chapel Tennis Court pavilion (eg, The Wall AO) on Wednesday, 5/23 starting at 7pm.

BOM

I tried a few new exercises today: The Chinook (warm-up, overhead circles) and the BOMBS (which took waaaay more time than I anticipated it would, for the record!). It’s a nice reminder about how important it is to occasionally break from routine and try something new and challenge yourself. You’re not sure what the outcome will be and that’s partially the point.  Life is full of uncertainties and the key is to embrace and not run from them. So whether it’s your work life, family life, etc, remember to break from the routine and try your hand at something new. Until next time. Aye.

Moleskin

Great to see an FNG out today (Welcome, Claussen).  Poor guy is from Mt. Olive (eg, pickle country), hence the name (the better pickle).
