The pain and soreness from The Bull is finally starting to wear off. YHC’s goal this morning was to enjoy some memories of the recently completed Bull while creating some new memories at Kings Dominion.
The site Qs contacted me and asked to include a relocation of the flag location for this AO. No problem. That actually fitted perfectly with the morning’s theme. Everywhere we moved during The Bull, we moved and relocated the shovel flags. Swamp led us on a mosey to the front of the church building and firmly planted the flag at the AO’s new home.
The usual warm up got everyone pretty limber. In honor of Cosmo’s return but to modify it slightly to create a new memory, we did five 8 count man-makers instead of his usual “get the first five burpees knocked out”. The new flag location appreciated our show of respect.
We then moseyed over to the far end of the parking lot. During The Bull, there was a series of partner carries. To enjoy that memory and create a new one, the PAX paired off with someone of similar size. One PAX took the first wheel barrel “ride” to the parking spot line, five merkens, and the partners swapped so the other PAX could enjoy the “ride” on the wheel barrel. Four stops on the way to the other side of the parking lot gave everyone two “rides” and 20 merkins.
A mosey over to the wall on the far side of the church was next. YHC and Pallino spent some time at The Bull joking about how badly it was going to go when our turn came to scale the wall. Pallino nailed it- up and over like a pro. YHC went directly into the wall and not over it. A bloody and swollen shin was my reward. I tore my bicep years ago at another Bull so I was due for an injury this year. Anyway, the wall was not my friend this year so I decided we needed to spend some quality time with it today. A 10 count people’s chair immediately followed by a five count balls to the wall done twice with no rest got us friendly with the wall.
We headed back to the other end of the parking lot but we were on the wrong side of the lot. In order to get across- we repeated the wheel barrel fun from earlier.
Once across the parking lot, Swamp lead us to the steel pile. Each PAX grabbed a piece of steel and we circled up. We did shoulder press x 20, bent over rows x 20, curls x 20 merkins with one hand on the raised steel plate. This was repeated three times. Time to put the steel away and head to Mary.
Mary: LBC x 20, Heals to heaven x 20, Homer to Marge x15
I don’t think know, I do not stretch enough. YHC lead everyone through some simple but hopefully enjoyable and effective stretches.
Announcements: The Bull 2023, Oct 28, 2023. Shirt order and sign up sheet coming soon!!!!
YHC took us out.
One of the reasons for the flag relocation is so that the awesome on-site coffee is just a short walk away at the front of the church

Thank you for posting with me this morning. I hope everyone stays safe and posts again soon. SYITG.
