Conditions: Cooler and humid.
YHC got a text from Uncle Jessie stating that he had hurt his back and asking me to take his Q. I did so gleefully as YHC said a prayer for Uncle Jessie’s back. YHC also remembered something Uncle Jessie said during the Alpo lead “Furious Tour of Bear Cat Land” that undertaken this past Saturday. As we approached the amphitheater UJ stated he remembered seeing “Widespread Panic” here in 86. Now. the historicity of the concert is in question, but the options for the amphitheater inducing panic in the hearts of men was all too real for me!
So in the words of Meatloaf the Terrapin came out of it’s shell and we took off the amphitheater with haste!
Disclaimer was given and we were all set to roll.
Warm-Up: 20 Side-Straddle Hops In Cadence. The we took off for a quick Indian Run over to the amphitheater. The man in the rear did three burpees, Weaver got stuck with the sprint up Charles St (He crushed it). We all got in two rounds in as we approached the amphitheater.
The Thang:
The first piece of work was a 21– 15–9 with merkins with bounding box jumps up to the top of the amphitheater after each of the sets.
Widespread Panic was not heard, but Led Zeppelin did linger in my ears as we undertook The Stairway to Heaven.
We started with one burpee on the grass and the sprinted to the top of the stairs followed by a safe and cautious descent. Then from the bottom we went up to the next step and did two burpees, followed by a sprint to the top. Wash and repeat for all 14 steps. That is 14 stair sprints and 104 burpees. This was tough, but Weaver made it look easy! The six was do whatever Weaver wanted to do! YHC is not sure what Weaver did for the six! The remaining Pax all finished in about the same time.
With the remaining time at the amphitheater we started over the same Stairway To Heaven but this time using squats instead of burpees and bounding box jumps as opposed to running up the stairs. We all made it about 6 steps up before time was called and we took off back to Terrapin with trembling legs and beating chests.
We did a quick Indian Run back, this time with each man doing 2 burpees to bring up the rear.
With the remaining 4 minutes we did one pull up and two squats doubling each (2 pull-ups and 4 squats, etc…) until time was called by Meatloaf as YHC forgot his watch.
COT:
Announcements:Book-club w/ Meatloaf (Friday morning 6:15)
Prayers: Rocky, Uncle Jesse and YHC’s second cousin who was killed in a car crash.
Devotion: The greatest gift we can give our families is personal holiness.
Naked Man Moleskin: Not much mumble chatter, we were focused on doing the work and not missing a stair and smashing all our front teeth out (Per Mary Ann). Weaver was awesome as always! Bengay never slows down and is ready for a VQ ASAP! Meatloaf wore the weight vest (respect) but he did coming riding in a bike that he had clearly stolen from a small child. Big thanks to Alpo for the inspiration and leading Saturday’s Furious Tour Of The Bearcat Land! YHC also was spying a stupid steep hill right beside the amphitheater as well! Lander has a bunch of great options for some creative work!
