Given the significance of the concept of a Sad Clown in the F3 universe, one could think the name Flying Circus to be a bit, well, curious. Given the madness that went down at this AO on Thursday, August 23, 2018, I think the name fits.
18 HIM pledged their allegiance to the flag, and then moseyed to the basketball courts.
Warm Up
- Good Mornings, nice and slow
 - 2 x FNGs show up
 - 10 Burpees OYO
 - Hill Billies
 - Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson arms: Circles front and backwards like Sir Fazio, except one arm at a time. Then we push the water forward, push the water back, all in cadence.
 - Overhead claps x 10
 - Plank Jacks x 10
 - Merkins x 10 on my down AND my up
 
Thang 1
Number off 1s and 2s. 1s do BTTW while 2s bear crawl the length of the basketball court, mosey back and then flip flop.
Thang 2
The Half Shelden Cooper
Mosey to the track. Run a half lap, then complete:
- 10 Merkins
 - 10 Burpees
 - 10 Squats
 - 10 WWII situps
 
After complete, run another half lap and complete 9 each of aforementioned exercises. Continue until you’ve done them all.
Thang 3
Mosey back to the basketball court and repeat Thang 1.
Mary
- 10 Burpees OYO to calm Pet Sounds
 - Have a Nice Day
 
COT
- 4 Respects, 1 Hate, 15 Mehs
 - Welcome FNGs Sudafed & Tiny Tim
 - Remember the Q School next week, VQ week in October, Carpex Anniversary at DZ on 8/31, and the 9/11 Stair Climb. Check Slack for details
 - Prayers for Disco’s M, McCants continued healing, and the outbreak of fire ants in Carpex
 - YHC took us out.
 
NMS
- Our FNGs really got after it today. They were well prepared with water bottles, which I think were still there when we got back to the basketball court following the Half Cooper. I think they’ll be back.
 - Biner smiled a little.
 - Nice work making sure we picked up the 6 today.
 - Back to the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson arms. That’s actually an adaptation of Gwyneth Paltrow arms that my M showed me from the FIA workouts. The Rock sounds better, but the PAX were dropping like flies before YHC called recover.
 - This workout included Merkins, Burpees and Bear Crawls. That is as close to perfection as God allows on earth.
 
It was a pleasure to lead this fine group. Be a little better today than you were yesterday.
