I Broke Gertrude!

YHC was excited to get my 7 Q’s in 7 consecutive days today. Arrivived at the AO early to check out the wind speed and to try to find a place we wouldn’t get blown away. Found a place and set out a few cones and planted the flag. Turned out to be the only flag! PAX started rolling in and I was starting to get a little nervous not knowing anyone showing up. A few familiar faces popped in the nerves settled a little. 5,3,and 1 minute warning given and Hard Start. Flawless mission statement given and disclaimer stated. Gave a short statement about why we were there today. Detective Doty of the York County Sheriffs Department SC.

Mosey to first cone behind building

gave a little instruction on what was about to take place and why. Detective Doty’s badge # was 809 so we were going to complete 809 reps of different excersises. I decided to break them up into 4 different stations consisting of:

6 Burpees

50 Merkins

6 Burpees

75 Flitter Kicks SC

6 Burpees

50 Squats

6 Burpees

completed first set at cone 1 and some of the PAX thought it was going to be an easy trip to the next cone,  after calling them back I informed them we would be get to the next cone by way of Komodo Dragon. A little grumbling at this point.

Same routine at the second cone and Bear Crawl to the third cone

another set of the routine and Crawl Bear to the 4 th cone. Half way through this set is when I broke Gertrude!  He pulled something in his back and had to Omaha the rest of the workout. We watched as his truck pulled out of site. A few were expressing their concern for his well being.

We lunged to the starting point to complete the 809 with

4 Burpees

3 Merkins

3 Flutter Kicks

3 Squats

This completed the 809 part of the workout with a total of

100 Burpees

203 Merkins

303 Flutter Kicks

203 Squats

I was impressed that we completed this in about 30 minutes!!!

mosey to the wall for BTTW 10 count each

circle up for Gorilla Humper Ring of Fire up to 5. Counting seems to be an issue in the Morehead area.

back to the wall for BTTW at a 45 for another 10 count

Two more PAX dropped out at this point. Something about hanving some where else to be….

Circle up for Monkey Humper Ring of Fire up to 5

I left 1 minute until Hard Stop so we could gather around the flag for a moment of silence for Detective Doty

Hard Stop

Np announcements and a couple prayer requests.

YHC took us out in prayer

It was a great honor to lead a group of men I have not had the chance to workout with before. It was a great honor to lead this workout in the memory of Detective Doty. He may be gone but he will live on in the memories of his family and friends
