ME HEADCOUNT: 13
EC HEADCOUNT: 4
COFFETERIA HEADCOUNT: 10

Honored to lead a great group of men at Paradise! YHC preblasted intention of venting on some things that raise my temp. I needed to see if others feel the same way…

Warmup
SSH x 26 IC (my 2.0s halfway believe me that I am actually 26)
WMH x 10 IT
Windmills x 10 IC
LBAC x 10 IC
Reverse x 10 IC
Michael Phelps x 10 IC

Thang 1: Car Gifts
Gift of exercise were given at PAX's car, run/BC to other side of parking lot, another gift given at PAX's car, run/BC to other side, repeat x3
Gifts given: dry docks, LBCs, squats, lunges, seal claps, flutter kicks, & possibly something else

Vent #1: Roundabouts
How can people not understand that they can merge into the traffic circle when a car is 90 degrees or more away from them? They are making a sharp turn at 10mph, you don't need that much space!

Mozy to Bike Racks

Thang 2: Posterior Strength
Odds: inverted rows
Evens: Bent over flys (round 1), blades of steel (round 2), homer to marge one leg up (rounds 3 & 4)
Round 1 SC x 15, Round 2 IC x 10, Round 3 (right leg up) & 4 (left leg up) IT x 10
PAX flapjacked between IRs & posterior exercise

Vent #2: Pedestrians
Why do people feel the need to click the crosswalk button to trigger the light but then proceed to jaywalk anyways so I have to sit and watch the crosswalk sign countdown when nobody is crossing? Click the button or jaywalk but you can't do both!

Mozy to Spooky Hill (has an awesome landing spot that breaks the hill up)

Thang 3: Spooky Hill
Partnered Up
Partner 1: run down to landing, 5 star jumps, bear crawl down to sidewalk, 5 WWIIs, bear crawl up to landing, 5 star jumps, run up hill
Partner 2: AMRAP burpees or jump squats at the hop of the hill
Flapjack after PAX 1 finished hill work, went for about 8mins or 3 rounds
All PAX did one more descent together to bottom

Vent #3: Urinals
How can so much innovation go into something to collect my urine stream while standing that I get drenched of piss? If I wanted to wear pee, I should just spare my time and just go in my pants. I should not have to spend my entire urination finding the location/angle/intensity to minimize splatterback!

Mozy to Stairs

Thang 4: Burpee Climb
PAX formed two lines at the bottom of the stairs
All PAX did high knees until they began stair climb
PAX 2 at a time climbed first flight of stairs, 2 burpees at each landing, next 2 PAX began stair climb when burpees began
Total of 4 landings
All PAX did high knees at the top until all had made the climb

AYG to grassy hill up to football field & perform hill sprints until all PAX were back

COT
Let's all give people the benefit of the doubt. Quite possibly, the nice people of the world don't want to jump in front of others, people may have just remembered they were late for volunteer work, or I have higher than normal urine rate. Letting little things bother us affects the way that we interact with others throughout the day, especially ones that we are close to! AYE!
