Winds of Change

YHC had originally planned this workout for the following week but scheduling changes needed to be made so it was moved a week earlier. YHC arrived at the AO a couple minutes early to ensure space that was needed was appropriate and cones were placed. Of course Patch was getting in a little solo EC Ruck when I arrived. Flag was planted and we began.

Two FNG’s were present so more thorough disclaimer given.

Warm-up:

Side straddle hops x 20 IC

Good Mornings x 10 IC

Mountain climbers x 10 IC

Imperial walkers x 10 IC

The Thang:

Indian Run around the block to the Magnolia center and get up on the grass. From here pax bear crawled to the sign and did a version of merkins then lunged to the other side. This sequence was repeated 4 times with the following variations:

Merkins x 10 IC

Wide arm Merkins x 10 IC

Ranger Merkins x 10 IC

Diamond Merkins x 10 IC

The pax then moved to the wall for:

Dips x 10 IC

Derkins x 10 IC

The pax moved to the Parking lot for a round of ATM’s x 10 IC.

We then moseyed to the front of the school for another round of dips and derkins.

Following this the Pax moseyed to the track and lined up on the cones. This was planned to be a four corners type movement however a change was made. Each pax would broad jump burpee to the opposite cone and perform an exercise. This was completed 4 times with the following exercises.

Squats x 10 IC

Smurf Jacks x 10 IC

Tempo Lunges x 10 IC

Monkey Humpers x 10 IC

Pax then lined up on the sideline for 4 rounds of Wind sprints. After completing wind sprints the pax were instructed to run a lap around the track by sprinting the curves and jogging the straight.

Upon returning the start point YHC adjusted the cones into a triangle shape for a round of bearamuda triangle where pax bearcrawl to each cone and then do an ascending number of Burpees.

The pax then ran another lap around the track with jogging the curves and sprinting the straight away.

Alas time began to run short so we returned to the flag for a quick round of Mary.

YHC is turning over the reins to the schoolyard to Lil Mermaid

Moleskin:

The end of February marks a year since Abu and Pied Piper approached me after the good fight to take over the schoolyard as we had a brother in need. I’m not sure that I was entirely prepared to take over but with the help of others it was a fairly seamless transition. And I am grateful to those that to the time to help guide me in the process (I would name names but there are way to many to list). I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for entrusting me with this site responsibility. It has been truly an honor and I know we are turning this over to a very capable HIM in Lil Mermaid. Him and I have discussed this transition and he has a vision of growth for this site that will be beneficial to everyone. As he takes over reach out an aid him in any way possible.

“The world is closing in

Did you ever think

That we could be so close, like brothers

The futures in the air

I can feel it everywhere

Blowing with the wind of change”
