YHC is the interim AOQ for Fury until UJ returns from a too long hiatus on 1/1/22. Some due to injury and some due to fartsacking. So, YHC reached out to Alpo to make sure he was still good to go for his scheduled Q when much to my surprise, YHC received a picture of Alpo modeling a beautiful hospital gown and stating that he’s pretty sure his nurses wouldn’t approve him leaving at 4:30 in the morning. So, plan B it was and plan B is what we did.

Disclaimer was given.

Warm-up

30 burpees (Alpo’s favorite and always a crowd pleaser. Especially Tickle who was dragged to Fury by Nomad. Good job Nomad.)

Mosey to islands on Merrywood. 30 burpees.

Mosey to end of Merrywood at Laurel. 30 burpees.

Mosey to intersection of Laurel and Grace. Only 10 burpees this time for an even 100. YHC thinks we were sufficiently warmed up. Each PAX grabbed 2 landscaping rocks that were sitting there. (YHC saw these about 2 weeks ago driving to Abacadaba’s house for small group and was waiting for an opportunity to use them. YHC’s M wasn’t as excited about it.)

Farmer carry a rock in each hand back to the top of Merrywood. If someone has to stop, everyone does 20 merkins. We stopped once. YHC felt like we all needed some merkins.

The Thang

Perform the following work
30 thrusters with a block in each hand
20 merkin rock slides
10 reverse flys

Start at top of Merrywood, perform above work, transport blocks to islands in the middle of Merrywood and perform the same work. Repeat the trip for a total of 3 times at each stop.
When done with work

30 burpees
100 flutter kicks with block in press position

Return blocks back to the pile. (YHC told the PAX we would return them.) And mosey back to flag.

Great work put in by the men this morning. Glad that Nomad dragged Tickle to Fury. YHC thinks he said that he would be back at some point. Duggar and Crayola led the way and those two are going to crush it this weekend (along with Inspector) running the Spartan Beast. SouthernBelle is quickly returning to non-skinny runner shapet.
YHC was excited to use the blocks. Doing independent arm work is totally different than using a big block. YHC will definitely incorporate more of these in future BCs.
YHC shared Proverbs 27:1, “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” Alpo had been on my mind all day. Reminded me of you just never know what tomorrow brings. YHC is sure Alpo didn’t wake up Saturday morning thinking he was going to be in the hospital on Sunday and having major surgery on Monday. This is reminder for us all that the only thing that we are promised is the present. So, live it in a way that honors and brings Him glory. Life is too short for anger and “I’ll do that tomorrow”. Take advantage of the present. Love you guys.

Until next time,

BenGay
