Three PAX met for an EC Ruck (4:30) and then joined three more for Pull-Ups (5:15) before the Main Event. It was a crisp fall morning (only gonna get colder from here, fellas) and 20 PAX in total decided against the fartsack to brave the first chilly morning of October.
Warm-Up:
SSH x21 IC
Peter Parker x20
Willie Mays Hayes x10
The Thang:
PAX proceeded to run from the AO to the large field at Great Meadow Park where they then circled up. Deck of Cards: Certainly not an original but a favorite of YHC. YHC had a deck with 2s, 3s, 4s and 5s removed, but the two jokers remained. PAX proceeded one at a time to the middle of the circle where they chose a card from the deck. Face value determined reps, suit determined exercise. J, Q, K are all 10; Ace is 11.
Hearts – Run to the end of the field (about 60 yds) and do Burpees
Diamonds – Merkins (PAX Choice – Regular, Slow, Hand Release, Diamond)
Clubs – Jump Squats
Spades – WWIIs
1st Joker – Bear Crawl the length of the field
2nd Joker – Wheelbarrow (PAX lucked out as this one never emerged)
How odd that the hearts kept coming despite the fact that several PAX swore there could be no more in the deck! (YHC swears he did not stack the deck!) That said, every heart was drawn for a total of 81 burpees.
Mosey back to the AO.
Mary:
Flutter Kicks x21
American Hammer x20
The Hammie x10

BOM:
Please keep in mind those less fortunate, and especially those that are struggling to get by day by day because of the hurricanes in Texas, Florida and the Caribbean, as well as the earthquakes in Mexico. Let’s certainly keep those folks in our hearts and prayers, but let’s also try to do more by donating money, food, whatever.
Try to do a good deed every day. If everyone focused on one good deed each day the world would be a much better place.
