The call came out Friday night for someone to step up to Q for the Saturday BC at Fury. With so many PAX doing the Swamp Rabbit, nobody was jumping at the chance to do it, so what the crap, let’s Q up some pain. Broke out the pen and paper and got to work.

Conditions: 60 degrees and humid

One lone Tickle mobile sat in the dark when YHC arrived. We both ere hoping for more to avoid the infamous awkward BOM. Then a truck pulls up that neither of us recognized. It was Otis! We were excited to see him back in the gloom after 7 months of recovery from heart issues. He said he had been hitting the gym to get prepared fro his return. He said “If I don’t stroke, I should be just fine!” I figured what a better time to give the disclaimer?

5:59am disclaimer and one minute warning

Head to the prison yard.

Warm up:

25 SSH

25 Overhead Air Presses

25 LBAC’s front/back

25 Merkins

The Thang:

11’s- 1 burpee, karaoke to the woodline, 10 Bonnie Blairs (count both legs), opposite karaoke back, 2 burpees, karaoke to the woodline, 9 Bonnie Blairs. Continue this series until you hit 10 burpees and 1 Bonnie Blair.

Grab a coupon and rifle carry to the gazeebo. Not a single thank you from the PAX for this great idea.

At the gazeebo:

4 rounds OYO:

4 sided coupon merkins(5 reps w/left hand on coupon, 5 with right hand, five with feet, 5 with both hands)

30 box steps with coupon (count both legs)

30 table top leg raises ( a Tickle favorite)

30 squats

Rifle carry blocks back to the prison yard. Still not a single thank you. Probably because this was a ball of suck.

Return the coupons and grab 2 bricks.

5 rounds OYO:

Side and front arm raise merkins

With a brick in each hand, move to merkin start position. Do one merkin, right arm lateral raise, 1 merkin, right front raise, one merkin, left front raise, one merkin, left lateral raise = one round.

3 PAX dead hang and 2 PAX high plank for 60 count, then swap it up for another 60 count.

3 more rounds of side and front arm rise merkins.

10 burpees OYO

Got a few minutes left for some Mary:

Alpo- 50 LBC’s

Tickle- Freddie Mercury’s in cadence

Corncob- 50 Whirlly Boys(I think)

Time called.

COT-

Countorama 5 PAX

Nameorama

Announcements- PAX wondering about upcoming 2.0 workouts and events.

Prayer requests- Otis’s family, Alpo’s Grannie, YHC’s friend of a friend loss of 9yr old, Swamp Rabbit PAX

Welcome back Otis! It was great to have him back in the gloom! e was hesitant to start back on a Fury morning, but he crushed the work in style. Great work Otis! YHC threw this together on a whim, but judging by the mumblechatter, it was Fury worthy. WHC was still sore from Thursday Fury and thought the rifle carries would be a good burn to finish off those shoulders. It was definitely a crowdpleaser. I would love to see the Saturday workout #’s explode. On a typical non-event Saturday, we could easily hit double digits. It’s hard to fight that fartsack on a Saturday morning after a week of posting, a long week at work, and life in general, but there are brothers out here that need that extra push from another brother standing beside them. Until next time….

Southern Belle is hanging up….
