Bearded Jester asked YHC about a month ago to Q the Clydesdales. Well I of course said yes without giving it any thought. After committing, I began to thing about it and realized that I had never been to Clydesdales. This made the plan a little more difficult but I began to think about Clydesdales then I turned to beer but I won’t get into that tangent.  Clydesdale horses are not speedy they are used primarily in hauling and for show. Well what better to haul than sandbags. When I arrived to Coop Stronghold a few minutes early to see BJ rucking around the parking lot. I proceeded to park my truck near the hill on the other side of the pool with sand bags staged. YHC was expecting a few more pax but all that arrived were BJ and an FNG.

Warm Up:

Side straddle hops x 10 IC

Good Mornings x 10 IC

The Thang:

Mosey around the immediate parking lot area stopping when we reached the grassy area. Pax lined up at the first tree and would complete an activity from one tree to the next.

Bear Crawl

repeat that sequence returning to the start point.

Pax would repeat with different activites

Side shuffle (right)

Side shuffle (left)

High Knees

Butt Kickers

Pax then moseyed to retrieve the sand bags and move to the side street on the hill. With sandbags pax performed a descending ladder from 10 to 1 with Back squats at the upper stop sign and shouldering at the bottom stop sign. After completion sandbags were dropped except one.

Pax then followed the sidewalk back to the flag stopping at every light pole for 1 merkin. YHC pointed out that with only doing one merkin it was essentially doing 1 burpee at each pole. YHC carried the sandbag throughout just for…reasons. We returned to the flag and dropped the last sandbag.

Well the plan I developed had some partner work so changes had to be made on the fly but we got it done. This was a good experience for me to adjust on the fly. Additionally, this was also an opportunity to get in some good 2nd F. Looking forward to another chance to lead.
