AO: Atlantis
Q: Hammerhead ,
PAX: Hammerhead, Hammer, Bougie, Wavetalker, Infinity, Palmetto, Mom’s Spaghetti, Teenager, @Brick from Sacramento, @Beeper FNGs: 1 @Beeper
COUNT: “10”
WARMUP: SSHs / DQs / WMHs / WGSs / DDs / KneeSweepers …everything by 23
THE THANG: (in future we will re-format this into more of an agility drill in the shape of a “W” and call it the “WaveWalker.”
For today we did this in Tee Shape and at the bottom center of the Tee were seven (7) Merlin’s. On either side of the tee were five (5) Burpees or nine (9) Jump Squats.Q created some confusion with this and the chart I drew up would have helped but I forgot it. Split into four two man teams (@Teenager did it OYO). Five rounds in total. So 5 visits to each of those three stations. Like I said in future may be a W without stopping at any of the points, just changing directions and flaking the W with Merkins and Jump Squats. The NEXT Thang was Burpee soccer.
Both Thangs were enjoyed by Will in summer of 2024 when he was up here from Charlottesville.
Rules for burpee soccer were that goalies are in Plank and whenever the ball goes out of bounds all PAX do three (3) burpees. Also, the scoring team runs a gasser down and back while the scored on get to enjoy five (5) burpees (and then we were supposed to swap sides of the field but Q forgot to mention that as well). MARY: Circle of Plank w variations.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: we didn’t really relay any F3 business.
COT: Our focus was on sharing about the hard felt loss of @Wavetalker (Will Lankford) and the kind of guy he was: Fill of life, energy, spirit and adventure. We lost him a Potomac River tragedy on Sunday that still seems so unreal. But I know this: He lives on in us. Faithful friend, be not far from our thoughts and touch our spirits. We are fraternally, eternally yours.
