Nine Hurricanranas posted on a brisk Fall morning to try to get better. Last night ESPN rolled a 30 for 30 on Ric Flair so The Nature Boy theme was set. Chubbs had some nice stories about Flair sightings in UNC frats when Flair’s daughter was in school there, and Tatertot had a good first-hand encounter with TNB when banking in Charlotte. Whether Bankrolling or Bankrupting, Flair seemed to be in his natural habitat around fame and fortune. We found our fortune at the AO after ditching the Fartsack to post for the Main Event, and some attempted to warm up sooner with an EC Ruck. Good times and good success this AM. Nine world champions rolled out of the lot to continue their day around 0615.
Warm-up:
PWI officially recognizes The Nature Boy as a Sixteen-time World Champion. TNB says the number is actually twenty-one as there are “five more for personal business he’s done in countries around the world.” We visit the twenty-one championships statistic during Mary exercises.
- 16 Seal Claps
- 16 Willy Mays Hayes (arms up)
- 16 Windmills
- 16 Slow Merkins
The Main Event:
- Mosey to the north around the school all the way to the large bus lot on the backside of Hurricanrana.
Not unlike MC Hammer and others, Ric focused on bling and more bling and how did that work out? He boasted about his $15k Rolex, Big House, and Big Boy Neighborhood. We leveraged the $15k Rolex and the BIG acronym.
The Fifteen Thousand Dollar Rolex.
- 15 Burpees Run full length of bus lot (island to island).
- 15 Imperial Walkers. Run full length of bus lot (island to island).
- 15 Get Ups. Plank It Out.
- Run full length of bus lot (island to island). 15 Burpees

Mosey down gravel road to starting parking lot.

Thanks for allowing me to lead during my return trip to Hurricanrana!
