Preamble:

With Thanksgiving coming up; I wanted to create a workout that would burn a lot of calories. And secretly I was hoping someone would merlot. The latter didn't happen (that I know of), but the former certainly did.

Warm-O-Rama:

A little jog around City Center - including a little detour to pick up Olaf, who came in hot - ending at the fountain at the top of the stairs. Warmups included Alternating L/R Stepups, Irkins, SSH, O/H Claps, Seal Claps, Moroccan Night Clubs, and SSH.

The Thang:

Couple rounds of suicides down to and back from each level, all the way to the amphitheater. On round 1, we did an ascending series of squats by 3 at each level (up to 18 on the last level), and always 5 merkins back at the top. On round 2 we did ascending merkins at each level by 5 (up to 30)  with 5 star jumps each time back at the top. I was planning on doing a 3rd round but with time running out, we proceeded to Thang 2: Jog over to the parking deck for a set of motivtors all the way to the top: 1st ramp: sprint to top. First one who reaches top yells "stop!" Everyone else stops and bear crawls the rest of the way. Once you get to the top, do 10 real sumo squats. Mosey across to the bottom of the next ramp. At subsequent ramps, it was more of the same with different modes of transportation - including crowd favorite burpee broad jumps - and different exercises at the top. The PAX especially liked the world's worst merkins and  jumping spider merkins. Once the 6 was at the top, we descended the closes set of stairs, split into 2 groups and Indigenous People ran back to the flag for a speed round of Mary

COT:

Count-a-rama: 17 Name-a-rama: a combination of Mehs and Respect, with one Double Respect Announcements: (1) Thanksgiving Day pick-your-poison 5K/10K/Half from Jailbreak. Pick your distance and pace, just be back by 0700 for COT; (2) Santa Ruck on 12/7 at 0800 from Cumming United Methodist at the base of Tower Rd; (3) F3 Cumming Christmas Party. See Slack for details on all of these Prayers: Several of them - Ms, SILs, neighbor child BOM: YHC took us out

Naked-Man Moleskin:

In no particular order:
  • If you think Mantooth holds you to a high standard, just know that he basically told his wife that she'd better finish 1st in her first ever 5K race on Thursday or don't bother coming home. Savage!
  • The Body does the purtiest Star Jump you ever did see
  • Swiper's BIL Big Diff held his own and then some. And I'm not just talking about the work but also the mumblechatter. He'd make a good Cumming man.
  • Scampi was apparently on the PPR but diverted to the port a john before retuning to the flag for the PR. He was never seen again. Perhaps someone should make sure he didn't fall in and get sucked in.
  • The chicken plant was especially ripe today. A couple of their trucks whizzed by us this morning on the pre run. That shit'll gag a maggot
  • The question of whether or not Schrute shows up on pictures was answered today. In typical fashion, he still ninja'd up during the warm-up
  • With school out, coffeeteria attendance was especially strong today
  • It was my high honor to lead you men today. Thanks for running with, following direction, and giving it all you got.
  • MIAGD, HTTR, and as always, GTHC
