Elevens, Two Ways at Ye Olde Forest

THE SCENE: Very dark, warm, and humid. Ideal conditions! What was less than ideal were my eating habits over the weekend. I went to see the Cardinals play with 46,000 of the Best Fans in Baseball. I think I consumed nothing but pork, potatoes, and beer between 9am Saturday and 2pm Sunday. 

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x20, Imperial Walkers x15, Daisy pickers x10, Hillbillies x15, Windmills x10

(We began the first set of 11’s, only I was the only one who knew!)

One burpee OYO / 10 merkins IC
Two burpees OYO / 9 merkins IC
Three burpees OYO / 8 merkins IC

10 burpees OYO / 1 merkin IC

THA-THANG:
PAX took a quick water break and lined up in the lot for an Indian Run. YHC gave directional instructions and we were off.

We moseyed around the playground to the extra-long concrete picnic table nearest East Pkwy. 

First up, 3 sets of: 8 split squats (each leg), 8 double box jumps (ground to bench to table)

11’s Round Two:
1 Big Boy Sit-up / up-and-over the table / 10 Carolina Dry Docks / up-and-over
2 BBSU / up-and-over / 9 Dry Docks / up-and-over

10 BBSU / up-and-over / 1 Dry Dock / up-and-over

The Queen was ANGRY with the King halfway through these. I was kinda hoping I’d pass out. Didn’t though.

Next, repeat the 3 sets from before: 8 split squats each leg, 8 double box jumps

S-L-O-W mosey back to the parking lot

MARY:
Feet at 6″ while waiting on the six to arrive. Then we did…Freddie Mercuries x20, Gas Pumps x15, Hello Dolly x10, Flutter kicks x5

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Altar Boy, Bottomless, TLC, Dewey, Lodge, Reaper, Snookie, Mudslide, Handsy, Tuco, Stripes, Mama’s Boy, One and Done, Soybean (QIC)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Whatever faith you follow, make time for it every day. YHC challenged the PAX to set their alarms 15 minutes earlier each morning to spend time in prayer/meditation.
