YHC had slacked the day before, “YHC has the Q. Looks like a perfect morning. We’ll do a tiny amount of traveling to celebrate the solstice. SYITG.” Jokes were made about defining tiny. But all joking aside, I did want to travel a bit to take advantage of Briar Chapel’s equivalent to Stonehenge “constellation park”. This would be a perfect spot to experience the gloom turning to sunrise (solstice week) high up on a hill overlooking the neighborhood.

At least one PAX did EC. In total, 11 PAX showed up.

Warm-Up:

  • SSH x 20
  • Plank Jacks x 20
  • WMH x 10
  • Runners stretch Left and Right x 10
  • Slow Merkins x 10

The Thang:

  1. Line up to Ricky Bobby. Take a right at the bottom of the driveway. Stop at the trail.
  2. Keep the line for “Bataan Death Crawl”. Bear crawl in a line up the path. PAX at the back drops off and does 5 burpees and then runs to the front. Continue until each PAX gets a turn. Proceed to constellation park.
  3. AMRAP. 5 stations in the park. Count off by 5.
    1. Station One: Irkins
    2. Station Two: Box Jumps
    3. Stations Three: Dips
    4. Station Four: Boyardee Step Ups (Extra leg kick at the top)
    5. Station Five (Timer): WW2s x 20 (First round), SSH x 30 (Second Round)
  4. Proceed to “The Hill” for Modified Jacob’s Ladder to 4. (Time was running short)
  5. Ricky Bobby back to the AO
    1. Along the way we stopped for plank and then plank line of fire.
  6. AYG Sprint up the driveway into the Wall park

Mary:

No time

COT:

  • A quick prayer for Rambler and mention of how he provides a great example for all of us. (moleskin, saw Rambler walking around the hood right after this. That guy is a beast.)
