21 pax hit the Grinder to get the week started off right.  There were no FNGs so we skipped the formalities and hit it:

Warm-O-Rama

20 SSH IC

10 Sun Gods Sobriety Style Forward IC, 10 Reverse IC

10 Moroccan Night Clubs IC

20 Imperial Walkers IC

15 String Rippers IC

We stayed put for the THANG 

PART 1) DirtyMacDeuce:

4 sets of three exercises done to 12 repetitions at a four-count, with 12 seconds of rest in-between each set.  Each set consists of a chest/ab/core.

Set One: Merkin, LBC, Copperhead Squat

Set Two:  Werkins, Low Slow Flutter, pickle pusher (ahh, the mumblechatter)

Set Three:  Drydocks, American Hammers, mountain climbers

Set Four: Dive bomber merkins, Freddie Mercury, crab cakes

Mosey to the second ball field, the one with the least amount of standing water, for:

Part 2) Four-corner double merkin burpee (DMB) ladder. At Home plate 1 DMB, at the right field corner, 2 DMBs, at the center field sign, 3 DMBs, at the left field corner, 4 DMBs, back to Home plate for rinse and repeat for ten minutes.

Needed a ten count after this one, then mosey back to the parking lot.  Woody suggested we go straight to Name-o-rama but, alas, it was only 6:00 am, so on to:

Part 3) Modified Devin Hesters:   Partner up.  Partner one sits Indian style 10 yards in front of Partner two: On go both sprint 50 yds and Partner two tries to catch Partner One.  Flapjack, rinse and repeat for ten sprints.

YHC must not have explained this one properly, because the first try was a train wreck.  The PAX adapted quickly and it was smooth sailing after that.  To YHC’s recollection, no PAX was caught by their partner, although Maneater came pretty dang close to being caught by Amphibious.  #wheels

Back to the shovel flag for Mary. We realized the area around the shovel flag was a swamp due to yesterdays downpour, so we went back to the asphalt for:
