YHC forgot his watch so Papa-G was kind enough to be the official time keeper. Before the start we heard some commotion on the far side of the parking lot – a screech…a squeal…silence.  When we looked over we saw an owl flying away – breakfast in tow. The previous nights rain made for very wet conditions which brought out all of the ground critters – and the raptors (a hawk was seen shortly thereafter too).

Disclaimer given at the shovel flag, and a prayer for safety.

Mosey from the shovel flag to the canteen for warmup (clockwise direction)

Warmup:
10x Through the tunnel (I/C)
10x Side straddle hop (I/C)
10x Imperial Walker (I/C)
10x ‘Merican (OYO)
10x Mountain climbers (I/C)
10x Little baby arm circles forward (I/C)
10x Little baby arm circles backward (I/C)

Mosey to the brick pile from the canteen (clockwise direction)

Workout:
Starting with bricks, complete the set below
Grab a block & walk an out-n-back to the top of the parking lot
-or-
Run 1 lap around the full lot
Flap jack & complete a set with the blocks
Rinse & repeat the block carry or run then flap jack back to bricks
Rinse & repeat until time expired

Bricks Reps Blocks
Man makers 10 Kettle bell swings
Brick American hammer 20 Standing or bent-over rows
Brick BBSU 30 Block squats
Brick raise-the-roof 40 Block crunches
Brick Curls 50 Chest press

We also “picked up the leader” meaning no one went past the leading PAX on the out-n-back. In that way, we were able to start each set together as a group.

We did 3 sets with bricks, & 2 sets with blocks, & 4 out-n-back or laps.

Time was 0613 (per Papa-G) so we put our blocks and bricks back & slowsey’d back to the shovel flag.

Mumblechatter was very subdued today due to no A/B or Biggie.  Grumblechatter was high on account of the BBSU and LBC on the blacktop, as well as for the 40x and 50x exercises.

Mary:
10x Curb toe-taps (I/C)

Unspoken prayer requests
