Some minor mumbling about older PAX heard of late but, October at Vortex is a fest of Gray-Backs leading by example with pounding hearts not chests. Recovery times may slow but in my experience it has been the guys who end a morning with a collective chant of Respect who tend to cross the finish line among the first, if not first. Today, we acknowledged accrued experience fittingly with an escalator that got harder as the numbers ticked higher. Move on up.

Warm-Up:
1 Lap
SSH/IW/HillBilly/Wind Mill

Main Event:
Run periphery of half a soccer field quickly as a group
Ladder/Escalator: Each time that PAX returned to the starting corner, they did an exercise below plus all the previously done exercises followed by the run around half field (e.g., run then 5 Burpees -> run then 10 Jump Lunges + 5 Burpees -> run then 15 Dry Docks + 10 Jump Lunges + 5 Burpees -> etc).
5 Burpees
10 Jump Lunges per leg
15 Dry Docks
20 Tuck Jumps
25 Freddie Mercuries IC
30 Hand Release Merkins
35 Flutter Kicks IC
40 SSH IC
Did not make it to next but would have been:
45 Squats
50 Overhead Claps

Mary:
Built into ME.

COT:
Appreciation of health and wellness and thoughts and prayers to those who are lack either.
