YHC is almost always up for a fun CSAUP challenge… and over the weekend, Spam shared a beat down here endured while visiting F3 Suncoast with Splash. So it goes without saying, of course, we would try it out today!

The Patriot Challenge has “Patriot” and “American Eagle” levels, which are teams or solo attempts at the beatdown. We teamed up and worked the mileage into our initial travel (or the Run N Gunners did extra for everyone).

 

Warm-o-Rama

  • SSH x 20 IC
  • Copperhead Squats x 10 IC
  • Mosey long way to playground

The Thang:

Partner Up and split 100 reps each of the following (in any order, but sets must be completed once started).

  • Merkins 
  • LBCs
  • Moroccan Nightclubs
  • Pullups
  • Squats
  • Plank Jacks
  • Lunges
  • Overhead Claps
  • Dips
  • Leg Scissors
  • Step Ups
  • American Hammers
  • Shoulder Taps
  • High Knees
  • SSH

The best part was left a mystery, though most PaX correctly guessed part of it… the 100 YARD BEAR CRAWL caught most off guard, which we did in the bud lot, traveling down and back. After that was completed, we moseyed back to start for the grand finale:

  • Burpees x 76

COT

  • Giles gave us an update, saying his wife, Laura, undergoes her second round of chemo the week; so they expected it to be a tough week coming up. The PAX all made it clear we are here for them. Whether it be food, lawn care, or moral support, we are there! #3rdF
  • Prayers for Sour Mash and S he user who lost their mother this past weekend after a long battle with cancer.
  • YHC took us out

NMM

  • #TClaps to Closer, Crash and Turnover who doubled down!
  • Subfloor made it out to The Iron Throne AO for the first time! Sign him up to Q!
  • YHC had the pleasure of partnering up with Giles and Crash who knocked out these reps like they weren’t challenge enough for them.
  • High Cotton and Palin kept it lively and may or may not have double counted reps???
  • Closer and Lemming seemed to regret saving the pull ups for last…
  • Subfloor and Drip partnered up and and enjoyed the music selection.
  • Turnover and Transcript got to know each other, and there may have been some jealousy when Palin snuggled up next to Turnover during Dips. Turnover then wiped out, slipping off the bench mid-dip. Laughter ensued!
  • The burpee finale was seen coming from a mile away by Palin.
  • The bear Crawl portion was not foreseen by most.
  • High Cotton has Cheesesteak-level bear Crawl speeds.
  • Special Thanks to a Closer who donated the speaker after YHC left his at home.
  • PAX gave YHC two extra minutes so we could all finish, instead of taking up a whole hour. It was a fine trade.

Thanks for posting this morning men, YHC enjoyed the challenge and found the company to be the best part. Happy Birthday, America!
