Glorious!!! On the heels of a full moon, Easter, and April Fool’s Day it was 74F, and the high humidity was tempered by a cool Gulf breeze.

CoP
Simple today:
- SSH x16 IC (PAX counted)
- Manmakers (hand release Merkins) x20 IC
Bear Crawl to the parking lot exit, line up Double Applesauce (DA), divide into squads A, B, C. B for Beta since he’s such a special guy.
The Thang
Mosey to the El Camino Real (ECR) for squad Bataan Death March (BDM) and partner Indian Run (IR) to the pull-up bars along Memorial. BDR is IR with each PAX performing 5 burpees before sprinting to the front.
Sun’s Out – by squad. 30 second intervals.
- Squad A close grip pull-ups (palms in) for 30 seconds while Squads B&C perform Diamond Merkins. All OYO. 30 seconds to switch/rest.
- Squad B close grip pull-ups (palms in) for 30 seconds while Squads A&C perform Diamond Merkins. All OYO. 30 seconds to switch/rest.
- Squad C close grip pull-ups (palms in) for 30 seconds while Squads A&B perform Diamond Merkins. All OYO. 30 seconds to switch/rest.
- RnR x2
- All PAX got 3×30 seconds of close grip pull-ups (lots of negatives if you can’t pull throughout). All PAX get 6×30 seconds of Diamond Merkins. Arms getting swole (Gun’s Out).
DA mosey along Memorial to Crestwood. #Mumblechatter about “wounded” partner carries from GrowRuck! Bang a left on Crestwood. 5 burpees OYO. More #Mumblechatter about “arms”.
Then: Squad BDM down Crestwood. Brief investigation of the nature area followed by DA mosey on Arnot to Haskell street. On Haskell, partner IR down the middle (instead of outside) x3 – continued instruction about IR protocol – slow mosey and sprinters accelerate and decelerate.
Arrive back near Shovel Flags (SFs) and break into squads for 1-arm rows on the angled swing set legs. T’Claps to Beta for squad breakout recommendation #I2. Each squad finds a swing set and 1-arm rows, 20x each arm OYO then circle the SFs.
Mary:
- McGill Crunches x10 with each leg up.
- Bird Dog x20 each side
- Side Plank hold x15 IC
That’s all, folks. 06:15:37 by YHC’s watch.

TAPs to many. YHC took us out.

Limited personal thoughts today. Kind of all over the board. Pull-ups and running are not exactly in YHC’s wheelhouse. Always good to give the PAX what they’re not expecting (which from YHC often includes the SLAM, BTTW, and Church Picnic). Also kind of fun for CSAUP exercises – belated April Fool’s Day since F3 workouts are functional and not about getting swole. Maybe this was all about Weedwacker. The Gun work will help him tame those pesky organs that don’t want to transplant. Taser and Kool-Aid impressed with a strong effort. Q-Fail for not getting Kool-Aid’s details for this BB – gentle reminder for YHC and all Qs to make sure you get people signed up. Kept thinking about events for F3 Texas Tough. And really Q failed on trying to remember all the TAPs. And the Kingdom shirts kind of scare me. But inspire me. Also still reeling from the M’s sense of humor: after Easter dinner she said, “Who wants dessert?!” 2.0s go nuts. She runs to oven and pulls out a casserole dish with a bunch of brown letter E’s. Get it? Total Dad Joke HoF. Brown E’s = Brownies. I figured it out after two rounds of close grip pull-ups this morning.
