The radar is an evil, untruthful spawn of the devil. The rain was there; it happened, and we made the most of it.

Pre-Ruck done, cars are rolling in, and we welcome Lance, our new FNG, who came with Lace.

Warm-O-Rama with the Q’s flawless cadence and a long warm-up lap.

Today’s soundtrack was some of YHC’s favorites from The Baseball Project as we prepare for opening day tomorrow. This super group of jangle rockers has several great records worth hearing. I have no personal rooting interest in the Twins, but Craig Finn from the Hold Steady guests on “Please Don’t Call Them Twinkies” is probably my number-one jam from TBP.

The Thang:

OYO: 

• 10 Curls
• 10 Goblet Squats
• 10 Merkins
• 10 OHP

Take a lap, repeat-O with 15, then 20 reps.

The Circle!

• Tighten the circle a bit and plank it up.
• Hold plank and pass 5 burpees
• Al Gore, then pass 10 Monkey Humpers
• Quick lap
• Plank up, pass 15 Dry Docks
• Al Gore, pass 20 alternating lunges.

Periods of heavy rain started at this point. Pax were thrilled.

Reps and Sprints:

• Line up at the end of the lot. Perform called reps, sprint down and back, and wait for the next called exercise.
  • 10 skull crushers
  • 10 Bent Rows
  • 10 Kettle Bell Swings
  • 15 skull crushers
  • 15 Bent Rows
  • 15 Kettle Bell Swings

A motion was made and seconded for Standing Mary (is that a thing? I guess so.). Lunges, Walkers, Runner Streatch-yoga-esq things, night clubs).

And time.

Welcome our new FNG Vulcan. He is in a small group at church with Lace. He has 12 kids, is a guitar player, and is in the rubber industry. So much to work with. We landed at Vulcan.

Sure, Trojan,  Ribbed, O-Ring, Nabs, and so much more were RIGHT THERE. Consensus was posted in the rain for the first time and deserved a good nickname. As the man said, it’s better than Lace.

COT: Chowda’s friend in Florida who lost his life in a car accident and his family. Buller?’s parents are facing aging challenges.

YHC took us out, and a small contingent went for coffee.

Yeah, the rain was not ideal, but it was a great morning. My self-talk is always, “You’ve been wet before; you’ll be dry later.” And it checks out!

Thanks to Cowboy for the invite to the pre-ruck and Atrophy for the keys. They are under the mysterious covered area at the AO….which we did NOT use.
