It’s the most won-der-ful time, of the yeaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrr! Cooler temps in the morning mean less humidity and that means YHC doesn’t feel like he’s working out in a bath tub anymore!
EC Ruck –
There is a route from ReCity to the Bull Statue downtown that is about a mile out. Chubbs and YHC rucked out and back. Good times, good convo, and a special shoutout to the porta-potty on the way back.
The Thang
The EC Ruckers joined 7 more PAX outside of ReCity and got right to it.
Warm-Up 30s
SSH x 30
Mountain Climbers x 30
Arm Circles fwd x 30
Reverse Arm Circles x 30
in the interest of time, YHC figured our travel to the next location will suffice for the remainder of the Warm Up
The Thang – Pearls on a String Style (is there any other way to do The Bullpen?)
Mosey to MotorCo – 10 Burpeses OYO
Mosey to pullup bars – Partner up!
1. 5 Pullups with spotter and flapjack
2. 10 Pullups with spotter and flapjack
(Shoutout to Driftwood and Chubbs for adding Merkins while Sweater Vest, who doesn’t need a spot, killed it on pull-ups)
Mosey to old Firehouse Tower by DAP and find a new partner
1. BTTW around the Firetower while your partner runs the perimeter of the office building, flapjack
2. Burpees OYO while your partner runs from the tower to the first island of the old DAP and back, flapjack
(Shoutout to Scrooge McDuck for being a fast partner, YHC appreciates it)
Mosey from Fire Tower up the hill and back down towards Central Park Playground.
The PAX inquired if we are going to have to do dips and climb the hill like last week (@Troller – they must of liked it!), but YHC disappointed the group with a good ol’ fashioned Merkin Pyramid!
Merkin Pyramid – 10, 9, 8, 7, Ten Count, 6, 4, 3, 2+1, 5, Ten Count
tClaps to the PAX for busting it during this. As Q, YHC was emotionally prepared for it, but as a PAX, whenever the Merkin Pyramid card is played without warning, it can be tough.
Mosey the long way up the hill to the skate park. Find a dry spot and 10 Burpees OYO!
Mosey back to ReCity as a PAX – Chubbs got out in front, using that 7 ft stride to his advantage – get back first and you get the most recovery time.
Mary –
LBC x 30
Heels to Heaven x 30
Superman for 1 min 15 with left arm and right arm forward
Flutters x 30
And we are out of time.
CoT
Count-a-rama and Name-a-rama.
F3 expands to Siler City (if you know PAX there), and Churham is launching a second Hillsborough site and North Durham site. “The Bullpen Is” close to our N. Durham site so there is interest from the PAX, that warms YHC’s cold, cold heart.
YHC encouraged the PAX to get to Duck and Weave as well, especially with Buffay’s looming VQ tomorrow! “It’ll be great!” ~ Nickelback.
Pray requests – Cherie Berry had hoped to post today on his birthday but he and his 2.0 both go pretty sick late last night, prayers for him and his son.
Moleskin
It’s YHC’s Backblast so here’s a plug – North Durham second trial run is coming. Come get some! @tatertot on Slack for the secret channel invite with details.
