She\u2019s a teenager now. It being nearly two weeks since YHC\u2019s Birthday BASH, the theme was kept with a little spin. The exercises were nearly the same, now with Hand Release Merkins, because YHC had enough Hindu Merkins for a year. The BASH was centrally located at one station at the to, with only 13 reps, it seemed like a fine idea. The birthday girl has curly hair, and we all know as our kids grow, lifting them gets harder, so why not do cumulating curls at the bottom!?<\/p>\n<p>Warm-o-rama<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mission Statement \/ Core Principles!<\/li>\n<li>SSH x 13 IC<\/li>\n<li>IST x 13 IC<\/li>\n<li>Mosey to start loop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Thang<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Birthday BASH\n<ul>\n<li>Run to the top of the hill stopping at each station for 13 reps.<\/li>\n<li>At the bottom\n<ul>\n<li>Cumulating Curls x 13 x Round #<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>At the top\n<ul>\n<li>Burpees x 13 OYO<\/li>\n<li>American Hammers x 13 (DC) OYO<\/li>\n<li>Squat Jumps x 13 OYO<\/li>\n<li>HR Merkins x 13 OYO<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Return to start<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mary<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stretchy Stretch x L\/R x 2<\/li>\n<li>LBCs x 13 IC<\/li>\n<li>Plank<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fin!<\/p>\n<p>COT<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Prayers for Spams friend in Sarasota<\/li>\n<li>Thanks for another year of the birthday girl!<\/li>\n<li>Prayers to be the dads our daughters need us to be!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>NMM<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>TClaps to our Doubledowners Slowpitch, Schlitz, and Rollback for a 2.5ish mile pre run! At least one may have regretted it after the beatdown was over!<\/li>\n<li>TClaps to Crash for running two miles after the beatdown!<\/li>\n<li>Most PAX completed between 5 and 7 laps, totalling up to 2.5 miles, 273 curls (we got up to 78 consecutive reps for the 7th round), and 78 burpees, American Hammers, Squat Jumps, and HR Merkins. Burpees right after the run was no joke! And running after all them curls didn\u2019t exactly feel great either!<\/li>\n<li>Initially PAX wanted more curls to reduce running, but it got hard real quick!<\/li>\n<li>Subfloor pointed out that 13= 6+7.

But clearly he was sandbagging because, right at the end he started booking it down the hill! YHC did his best to keep up, which required illegally passing PAX on the right through the grass.
