YHC hadn't been back to Hogan's Heroes since the hard launch nearly a year ago. When Laces Out put the call out, with a donation to the Churham Holiday fundraising push, YHC couldn't resist.

We had a solid group of 7 PAX show up and started with a standard Warm-Up, with a little extra for the shoulders…

IW IC x 10
HB IC x 10

We were going to reprise a baseball themed workout – on the Diamond Heels Opening Day Eve. Where the Cloudbusters baseball fundraising tournament was being led by Beano. The Cloudbusters refer to some famous Chapel Hill Baseball – https://www.wralsportsfan.com/unc/video/18038542/

We moseyed to the dumpster to grab some coupons (cinder blocks) and set up a diamond on the far end of the parking lot.
The concept was to have each PAX rotate through the various baseball positions and do themed exercises with the coupon.

1st position – pitcher (AMRAP military press)
2nd position – catcher (AMRAP Kettle Bell swings)
3rd position – 1st base (AMRAP lunges)
4th position – 2nd base (AMRAP triceps extensions)
5th position – Short Stop (AMRAP bent over rows)
6th position – 3rd base (AMRAP Curls)
7th position – arms extended twists IC x 10 (which served as the timer).
The first mode of travel for each station was bear crawl. After everyone did one set at each rotation, we lunge walked for the next round.

After we returned the coupons – we moseyed to Lake Hogan Dock for some…

COT
We moseyed to the Clubhouse Porch where Laces Out had some fresh ground, fresh brewed coffee and we had a great cofeeeteria. Continued our economic/capitalism/communist discussion and Nightshift and Autopilot shared insights on their current occupations.

Prayers for Nightshift to find more fulfilling employment.
