Following a night of unstable air and thunderstorms, 20 PAX descended upon Tortoises in the humid gloom for a 45 minutes of getting to know your coupon better. Allegiance was pledged, and we circled up.
Warm Up
Standard fare of SSHs, Cotton Pickers, Sir Fazio, Plank Jacks, Merkins on my down AND up. 10 burpees OYO to get the PAX attention.
Thang 1
Lunge walk to the coupon pile. PAX take either a block or 2 cores each. Partner up, size doesn’t matter. Dora 1-1-1-1 with curls, rows, overhead press & squats. Other partner does lunge walk with coupon across the parking lot, standard walk back. Here’s the kicker - at each partner switch, complete 5 bropees.
5 burpees OYO when Burt drops his coupon and breaks it.
Thang 2
Keep partners, half the group to the pullup bars to complete 5 pullups each, the other half to the picnic tables for L/R stepups WITH COUPON. Flip flop X 2.
Quick walk to return coupons, completing 10 overhead presses on the way. Once coupons are returned, bear crawl back to the flag.

NMS
- Strong mumblechatter from this group. The usual offenders
- Probably need to separate Burt & Liverpool right from the start
- As stated above, we are down 1 block at Tortoises. FYI
- The Pullup EC is growing - nice work. T-Claps to Jonah for post-workout pullups, trying out all the different grips.
- Disco claimed we saw angry Ryder; I was just making a point, letting the PAX know who is in charge. We were going to do those burpees anyway.
- Hotty Toddy has this Planet of the Apes-style bear crawl nailed. If you call a Billy Bear Crawl, be aware.
- Strong group today. Tortoises was the first spot I ever posted. That first time out, I thought I was going to die. But I posted again, then again. And so on. And here we are about a year later.
- Thanks for allowing me to lead today. Be a little better today than you were yesterday.
