Avoiding Potholes


It rained practically all night, and at 0500 the Steve indicated that Tank Top Tuesday was a real possibility. To that end, an even dozen of Carpex’ finest gathered at the flag at Salem Pond Park. Allegiance is pledged and off we go.

Warm Up

Mosey around the parking lot and then down the main drag to a street light that was actually on. We’ll forever refer to that as Mistake #1. On the way, high knees and butt kickers. Circle up for SSHs, Steve Earles, Good Mornings, Moroccan Night Clubs, and Seal Claps

The Thang

Deconstruct Dora, except we don’t partner up yet.

  • 25 Standard Merkins
  • Run the loop around Salem Pond
  • Step in a hole on the way around and twist ankle. Mistake #2
  • Limp back to the original warm up circle, complete 25 Standard Merkins
  • Limp to the basketball court, complete 50 LBCs
  • AMRAP pull-ups
  • 50 LBCs
  • AMRAP pull-ups
  • Partner up, Partner 1 bear crawls the length of the basketball court while Partner 2 is working on 300 squats. Flip flop until complete

Run/limp to the big traffic circle, for a round of 5s with WW Merkins and Star Jumps. Once complete, 6 burpees ON MY DOWN. Run/limp to the flag.

COT

2 Respects, 10 Mehs

Announcements were announced. Prayer requests continue for Michelob’s & Term Paper’s daughters. YHC took us out.

NM(M)S

  • Bad idea to run around the lake with no light. That should probably be Mistake #1
  • PAX are better looking in the dark (real Mistake #1)
  • As other PAX have noted, MC was at TURBO level
  • If the Q attempts to finish everything (including COT) within 45 minutes, there will be MC
  • Captain Thor normally shuts down MC, but seemed to actually be an accelerator
  • GREAT to have McCants back, gettin after it
  • Be a little better today than you were yesterday
