There was an open q slot for the skunk and I enthusiastically signed up at the last minute. I recycled a workout from the vortex. Newt led this about a month ago and it was a good routine. When I say good I mean tough.

The Thang:
PAX moseyed up the dirt road to the tennis courts. I explained we were doing the Forest to the Sea. 5 burpees done at each start and at every two tennis courts we would do a different exercise then mosey back. First is bear crawl (Murphy), next is gorilla walk (Asheboro zoo), then crab walk (Manteo). I modified it a little and realized the skunk has 8 tennis courts instead of 6. This was realized when Nubbin informed me 3/4 of the way through the workout. So duck walks were added for the last two courts. I’m just guessing there are ducks in Manteo so the theme still works. Each time you pass the assigned courts particular animal movement you do that movement. Start with 1 court, then 2 courts, then 3…and work your way to all 8.

This was a real time burner and when we finished up I had time for a couple small exercises on the visitor bleachers on the football field: 10 step ups each leg, 10 erkins. Mosey back to the flag for some Mary.

Mary:
With two minutes to spare we did flutter kicks and I called it with 1 minute to go since this was a doozy of a workout.

COT/Name-O-Rama:
Zika spreading the word of the Run for Malawi. Look at slack for the details so you can sign up. The Wolf was upcoming and as I write this it has passed. This was a great event and thanks to everyone who helped plan the annual Hillsborough convergence. Prayers for unspoken prayers.

It was an honor to lead gentleman. Thanks to everyone who came out to push each other.
