- Carioca back & forth for the remainder of the song.
Second, mosey to pavilion and partner up for seven layers of dip remixed.
- Partner A runs around the small island;
- Partner B performs dips AMRAP
- Repeato 6 times for 7 total rounds
Third, mosey to the Hill to Nowhere; keep your partners for Dora 123:
- Partner A runs to the top and back;
- Partner B accumulates reps;

Announcements:
- Bagpipe’s VQ is at WIB on Thursday. See Slack for location.
- Impossible Situation is moving to a once-monthly format. The AO will convene the first Saturday of each month and any other time during a month that someone calls for a Saturday beatdown at Hanes Park. The goal is to increase attendance and eventually get back on a monthly cadence.
- Reminder of the emergency contact Google Sheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z8sBhHcMcyjutMGR_Nls4aPBcTQ8KgebiJw-9Wpzvc4/edit?gid=0#gid=0). Please populate.
Prayer Requests:
- Lamb Chop & M trying to add a 2.0 to their family.
- Healing (& patience) for Root Canal and Greenacres.
- YHC took us out with gratitude for the day, the men of F3, and our lives & opportunity to make a difference in others’ lives.
NMM:
- It was a Q-uick turnaround for YHC after Qing High Life last night. Anticipating that Zima might be at Mayhem meant that YHC couldn’t just duplicate last night’s workout but had to bring original material.
- YHC was supposed to Q Mayhem last week but got stuck in Atlanta due to the Southern Snowpocalypse of 2025.
- Rollback and Zima, sans weight vest, were already getting started on Rollback’s daily burpee goal of several hundred when YHC rolled into the parking lot. YHC had given Rollback the heads up that “30ish” of his daily target would be accomplished in the workout proper.
- Turnover strained a calf yesterday training for the Craft Half, at least that’s what he said. What he did was outrun everyone in the AO. Cruiser was going to hook him up with some YouTube PT videos to help TO get on a recovery track.
- Rollback: “Did someone critique your triceps, Greenspan? This is a lot of dips!”
- Cruiser, as we wrapped up the dips portion, said, “What were we supposed to be doing? Just dips?”
- Great to have Dr. Toot back out with us as he continues to heal. He played the roll of Cherry Pie today, performing burpees while the rest of us warmed up our shoulders & arms.
- Crash, Drama Queen, and Ducky were quiet warriors, knocking out the reps.
- Workbench said he hadn’t been running due to the cold weather, but you couldn’t tell it. He was flying around the island and up/down the hill.
Thanks, Workbench, for the keys. Glad to be back causing some Mayhem.
