22 PAX started their week the right way by posting for the Latham Grinder.  After brief introductions, disclaimers, and a cursory search for the super moon (must have been obscured by clouds…) I-Beam took a party of 3 on a splinter run while YHC engaged remainder of the PAX in the warmup:

  • SSH x 25
  • Sun Gods sobriety style x 15 each direction
  • Windmill x 20
  • Rockette Squats x 20

And then moseyed to the steps of the famed First Pres Church for the THANG:

  • Partner up.  size and speed doesn’t matter.
  • Partner A begins exercise 1 at the bottom of the stairs
  • Partner B bear crawls to the top of the steps and performs 10 merkins.   then run down the stairs and relieve Partner A.
  • Partner B does exercise 1 while Partner A bear crawls up the steps and does his 10 merkins.
  • Work your way down the list, one exercise at a time:
    • 1.  Burpees
    • 2.  Monkey Humpers
    • 3.  Air Claps
    • 4.  Unbalanced Squats
    • 5.  Carolina Dry Docks
    • 6.  Field Goal Blocks

The PAX made it about 1.5 times through the list before time was called.

Form two lines for an Indian run back to the shovel flag for 6MOM:

  • Dying Cockroach
  • Alternating Shoulder Taps
  • Crunchy Frog
  • Upward Dog (look for the super moon!)
  • Plank for 10, 6 inches for 10

Woody took us out with a reminder to embrace the day, to have courage to speak up when we need help, and have the courage to reach out to each other when we can tell someone needs help.

Nice work men!
