PAX: Al Gore, Atticus, Bob Villa, Bozo (QIC), Campbells, Editor, Fonzie, HHH, Mr. Incredible, Thunder
10 PAX avoided the snow plows and slid into The Hub for an early morning beatdown led by YHC. We did the following:
Warm-a-rama
SSH X 15IC
Moroccan Night Club X 15IC
Hillbilly X 15IC
Bean Picker X 15IC
SSH X 15IC
The Thang (Part One)
Farmer’s Carry (not Fireman’s Carry – thank you Editor and your unwilling model for showing YHC what a Fireman’s Carry actually involves)
Partner One grabbed both coupons and started making way to the south retention pond going around the east side of the church.
Partner Two stayed back and did 10 perfect squats then moseyed up to Partner One to switch roles.
The Thang (Part Two)
10-1 Perfect Curls / Perfect Merkins ladder
Mosey downhill (or Penguin Slide for some) / Bear Crawl uphill
Repeatto Farmer’s Carry to the north hill going around the west side of the church.

Shuffle left and right on QIC’s command
Coupon Complex X 10IC
The Thang (Part Four)

Mosey downhill / Quadraphelia (apparently not “quadrapalegia” as YHC called it initially) uphill
Mosey to flag then detour to forest grove area on west side of church to avoid rapidly moving snowplows
Mary
Each exercise AMRAP for 60 seconds with ruck/coupon
Flutter Kicks
WWIs
Overhead Press Hold
Merkins
Ruck Swings
Moleskin
Quite honestly I did not know what to expect going into today as I have not participated in many snow-covered beat downs, let alone lead one yet. Appreciate the advice from Mr. Incredible yesterday to push through with what I had planned and just modify as necessary. I came close to changing our initial ladder out of concern we would have a tough time keeping traction up and down the hill but it seemed to have worked okay. The penguin slides down the hill I saw seemed to be intentional…
Definitely showed my rookie status again by misnaming a couple of exercises and losing my breath on the cadence count for our first Coupon Complex. Another opportunity to learn and improve, as I hope to do with each time I have the humble honor of leading this group of HIM.
In between the fun and laughter of sliding around, critiquing our Side Straddle Snow Angel artwork, and pegging Thunder with snowballs, I hope everyone got a good challenge today.
Until next time…
SYITG,
Bozo
