Great group out today, and I was pumped to lead in the best manner. The only thing that rhymes with Vice is of course the name of this AO. As I arrived, Nacho and Vice were wrapping their EC heavy, while Attaboy raced around the lot with his pup. The theme this morning was to get the PAX in line, and then get to work to pass the hour.

The Thang:Pass the Exercise
PAX lined up along the sidewalk and passed an exercise along the line while the rest of the men did a second exercise OyO.
After hitting the snooze button on the alarm clocks, but not before our Burpees were complete, the grumbles turned into mumble chatter. We learned a bit about our site Q at Paradise when a proverb drew attention and critical analysis: Why IS a bird in the hand better than two in the bush? After some discussion in vain, we either learned that Vice doesn’t like birds, Vice prefers the bush or there’s a reason he’s a science teacher rather an English teacher.
Sets:
We started with 5 alarm clocks as the exercise to pass down, while the group completed squats,
Then 5 merkins / mountain climbers,
Next 5 burpees / LBCs,
Last 5 Dry docks / reverse lunges,
Repeato with slight modification:
2 alarm clocks / squats,
3 merkins / mountain climbers,
4 burpees / LBCs,
5 dry docks / reverse lunges

Fellowship mosey, now that all were wide awake, to the “high” part of the parking lot, then lined up and went into the next part of the thang:

Take two and pass…
1. Got comfortable with some stretches: Downward Dog & Cobra x 2
2. Plank position in line, starting with PAX at the end doing two merkins, then next in line doing the same, etc. 4 rounds, down and back
3. Quad stretch
4. Low squat hold in line. 2 tuck jumps. Pass it down. 4 rounds
5. Hip flexor stretch
6. On our six, up in bridge position, in line, up and hold. 2 Homer to Marge. Pass down x 4 rounds.

We ran at 50% pace 75% of the way back to startex and sprinted the rest, or something like that.
We honored F3 Cardinal of Knoxville with 10 Burpees together, and Attaboy sure to complete his sets in full, in honor of Cardinal.

Flutter Kicks, sea turtle, boat canoe

Announcements:
The Gambler last week of April csaup and premium koozie sale. Donut dozen mile and beer mile upcoming too, but separately and not together, definitely not part of the Gamler, which would be absurd right?
Prayers:
Red October’s 2.0 Dark Knight and family, shout out to those running the meal train deliveries.
