PAX (9): DirtyMO, Durty Nelly, Hail Mary, Jugdish, Omaha, Snowman, Spit Valve, Swiper, Vanna

Preamble:

45 degrees.....getting that time of year that its easier to stay in your warm bed.  Stay accountable.  Showing up is the hard part...

Warm-O-Rama:

SSH, Willie Mays Hayes, Hillbillies, Maroccan Night Clubs.... We then did the Cocaine Bear down the parking lot between baseball fields and football fields.  Cocaine Bear is bear crawl down parking spaces and every time you come to a white line (about every 8 feet) you do a merkin, but start with your nose on the white line.

The Thang:

We then moseyed to the far football field and grabbed a man-size coupon on the way.  We gathered up at midfield.  A four corners type workout.  Every time you return to mid-field, you have to do 5 blockees (burpees with coupon going overhead).  First corner was 10 Mukhtar Injies (or what ever it is); other corners were 10 plank jacks, 10 mountain climbers and 10 merkins.  The mode of transportation was determined by the caliber of the joke told each time we met up at mid-field.  If the joke was funny, we got to run to the corner and back; if it was bad, the mode of transportation was more challenging (e.g. lunge walks, killer roos, etc). We then met at the goal line and everyone piled their coupons in a big pile.  I call this "The Flintstones" - In sets of two people, we took turns moving all of the rocks in the pile 10 yards down the field.  While two people were moving the rocks, the others were doing an exercise (e.g. burpees, supermans, wwii sit-ups, jump squats, star jumps, freddie mercuries, etc).  Once all rocks were moved ten yards, the rest of the pax moved up and a new pair started moving the pile. Admittedly, we started off doing one person moving the pile of coupons each time, but the pax made an audible to increase to two folks moving the coupons.  This was a good call with 9 pax.  If you ever do "The Flintstones" again, I'd suggest the cut off is 5 stones (more than that, definitely use 2 people).

COT:

The notion of a ripple came up this am during cot.  All of the men that show up to f3 are being an unseen ripple....they are impacting many they come in contact with in ways they likely don't see.  It all starts with this group of men and beginning your day off doing hard shit!  I personally have felt the ripple effect of many of you...so thank you!
