The Thang:

Mosey walk to the rock pile.  Pick a rock with guidance that “today is not the day to go for a PR in your rock selection”.  Circle up around the grassy knoll and listen for the instructions.

Part 1:  Every minute on the minute (EMOM), perform burpees x 3.  For remainder of the minute, perform thrusters (squat with overhead press).  Repeato until thrusters x 100 are accumulated.  Bear crawl around the grassy knoll.

Part 2:  EMOM perform thrusters x 3.  For remainder of the minute, perform burpees.  Repeato until burpees x 100 are accumulated.  Bear crawl around the grassy knoll.

Repeato.

0610: Return rocks and mosey walk back to launch.  Pause at brick flower bed and perform dips until time is called.

The End.

NMM:

• Bam and Wobegon allowed YHC to join them for the run club. Prior to launch, Bam asked, “I guess you’re missing IPC?”
  • Upon completing instructions the first time, Bam announced, “So you’re bringing IPC to us since we won’t go to IPC.” This was closely followed by Argyle’s, “I can’t hear what you’re saying.”  YHC obliged by running (yes, running) around the circle with the weinke to stand beside Argyle and (loudly) repeat the instructions.  Then we were off.
• Barely a word was uttered (or at least heard by YHC) after we began. This was miserable.
• Post-workout, the following were heard:
  • Starfish: “It’s a bad sign when soreness sets in during the workout.”
  • Ludikrous had done a chest/shoulders-heavy lift workout yesterday, so the war baby was good and cooked by the end. He said it was “good” or “fun” or something like that.
• Green Acres was not pleased with the call for dips x AMRAP instead of a tummy exercise upon return to launch.
• YHC always seeks to be asked by someone to run at TRQ. No takers today.  Boomerang even announced, “As long as I can modify (as wanted), I’ll never ask to run.”  Truly, this would have been easier with the run than the crawl.
• The Pony Express, in the middle of upward dogs, dropped some knowledge: Jack Nicklaus won ~$5m in purse money during his entire career.  Scottie Scheffler’s caddie made that same amount this year.  Bretton Woods, baby.

It was an honor, as always to lead, Green Acres.  Me thinks you snatched the keys back at the brick bed.
