(0445 Ruck) (0545 ME)

Strong effort by the PAX this morning!!

In prep for my Q this morning I peaked at the aerial photo of SCP to get a feel for the landscape down South at the OGF3CHAO.  The layout reminded me of the innerworkings of a timepiece with all of it’s circular, connected pathways.  This added inspiration to my return visit to Bastille, an AO I had not posted at in almost a month.

Warm Up IC x15

• Willy Mays Hayes
• Smurf Jacks
• Imperial Walkers
• Seal Jacks
• Slow Merkins
• Eight Count Body Builders

The Thang

Part 1 (20 minutes, timed)

• Partner 1: Travelling Burpees switching to Bunny Hops at half way point; Clockwise around entire parking lot, nonstop.
• Partner 2: 85% Max Effort Run clockwise around the circular pond path whilst crushing 20 Merkins each time he passes The Picnic Shelter, which equates to 40 Merkins per cycle.
• When Partner 2 finishes his running with Merkins circuit he relieves Partner 1 wherever Partner 1 is at that time.

We wind up our clocks each day to power ourselves and pour energy into our work, our families, our friends.  Getting out in the gloom with a bunch of friends is an awesome way to wind up.  It was a blast doing this circuit with partners and together as a group at the same time.  I don’t actually know what part of this circuit provided me with the energy I speak of.  Perhaps it was when the timer went off after 20 minutes?

• Windmills

COT

• Lift up DOI’s M and her entire family as they navigate through a recent cancer diagnosis.
• Pull for safe and adventurous times for our BRR PAX as they stroll through the NC mountains.
• Check Slack for details on upcoming 5k fundraisers.
• ETE and his cat, Turtle, led a cool, crisp ruck through the impressive SV hills this morning. ETE carried Turtle the last half mile so Eddie gets partial credit for a petite coupon ruck this AM.  Turtle did not stick around for the ME so she did not get an official F3 nickname.  I do believe Eddie tops the mileage leaderboard for Ruck Your Cat (RYC).

It was a pleasure leading this AM.  Thank you!
