AO: Octagon

Date: 12/23/24 @ 0530

QIC: Snidely 

PAX: Samples, Bubbles, Khakis, Slow Pitch, Low Flow, Knoxville, CB, Tassels, Vandelay, FDIC, Penny Marshall, Canary, Snidely

FNG: 0

Count: 13

Conditions: 33 deg F, 13 mph WNW (felt like 24 deg F)

Mission, core principles, and credo given. Disclaimer said. FDIC was visiting from downrange and we welcomed him with open arms. The Smurfers arrived late, like usually. But they basically doubled our numbers, so that’s cool. The QIC was a little under the weather, but he gave it his best for the HIM that showed up at The Octagon. It was a good beatdown.

Playlist = Punk Rock Classics

Warm-A-Rama:

The Thang:

11s to 22s … no reason for the numbers

11s – in a group across the parking lot

  • Merkins x 10 –> Jump Squats x 1

MOT – Mosey to Parking Lot B

22s – Do 22 counts of each exercise per round:

  •  Freddie Mercurys IC 
  •  Earl Fondas (left then right) IC
  •  Snidely Squats IC
  •  High Dolly (Rosalitas)
  •  Low Dolly
  •  LBCs IC
  •  Johnny Dramas (on curb)
  •  Chinook arm squats (3 arm circles, then squat holding arms up on 4th count) IC
  •  Carolina Drydocks  
  •  Xs and Os IC

After all completed, run 1 lap around the track.

We made it almost all the way through two rounds… boy did the HIM complain about Earl Fondas. At first it was all giggles, but after rep 10, the giggles turned to groans and moans. They found out they didn’t have the groove for some simple Fonda moves.

6MOM:

  • We skipped it. We had plenty of core in The Thang.
