7 Brave PAX met at the AO @ 0500 to take on the baddest challenge Churham has to offer: the Lone Pine hill – 4 miles round trip. The norm is becoming 3 trips up the hill in some variation.
15 PAX in total for Rameses today.
Warmup:
SSH x 20
Imperial walker IC x 15
Willie Mays Hayes IC x 10
Windmill IC x 10
Arm Circles x 10 / forward and back
The Thang:
YHC led the pax to the bottom of TarHeel Warrior Mountian (THWM) (not the bottom, bottom but what a normal person would call the bottom) and each PAX partnerd up and we ran a series of DORA
Per pair: 100 Burpees, 100 Merkins, 100 BW squats, 100 Freddie Mercury IC
It was about the 6th time up THWM YHC saw a very bright and clear shooting star. I think it was real and not just from the 7 trips or more up THWM.
Once DORA was complete YHC led the PAX to the bottom bottom of THWM. (truly the gloom)
Lieutenant Dan to Gate 1
Sprint up THWM to Gate 2
Backwards run to the tree line
The PAX then rallied for a line of fire at the pull-up bars. Each Pax held a plank while each pair knocked out 5 pull ups. Once the PAX returned to the line of fire we knocked out 5 merkins.
Just because we had enough time we sprinted up THWM one more time and completed a backward run from the parking lot to the tree line
Mary:
Boat canoe x 10
Superman x 10
Wide grip slow merkins x 20
Some form of the gas pump/ American Hammer x 20
Props to the PAX that took on the pine plus the ME we covered 5.5 miles and over 1k ft of elevation.

Prayers for Timber’s Grandmother, Hux’s wife, and Lo Pair.
YHC has the Q at OCL tomorrow. Something completely different from today was promised.
