WARMUP:
Legacy from Thomasville started things off with a warmup that immediately turned the knobs up to 11. First exercise was motivators, a deconstructed sequence of side-straddle-hops that ended up being the equivalent of about 100 of them. Pax were modifying within minutes. Mosey to bottom of the big hill, where the sequence was AMRAP 45 seconds each of merkins, squats, and burpies, followed by an uphill sprint, then repeat, followed by two reps of the uphill sprint, then repeat, with three reps of uphill sprint. At some point the pax realized this wasn’t a warmup anymore.
THE THANG:
Maestro from Macon doubled the pain with 11’s, doing bernies up the hill between Mike Tysons and squats. Like the pied piper of pain, Maestro then led the pax over to the stone terraces, where they were fed a steady diet of irkins, derkins, and dips.
THE THANG 2 (but really 3):
Little Debbie from Tallahassee tagged in for field exercises, including merkins, burpies, shoulder-touches, and side-straddle hops, interspersed with travel up and down the field in the form of crab walks and karaokes, with a grand finale of bear crawling. The HIM did a great job of showing how to support the sixes as, at one hour in, pax were dropping like flies.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Mission statement was presented, the 5 core principles were stated, and our motivation expounded upon.
COT:
Count off, name-a-rama, then each pax got to share a little or ask for prayer. Lots of fantastic encouragement and support for Albany. After a word of thanks from Toll House, the Pledge was recited, after which he prayed out the ball of man. Coffeeteria catered by our own Keurig.
