Trans Siberian Orchestra’s only appearance in the East

After being layed up for more than 2 weeks, YHC was excited about this morning and also a little nervous about my ability to not drop dead! As I rolled in to the AO I was pleased to see a shovel flag! Only no PAX. To be sure Blart didn’t leave his flag here all week? Nope, just Monkey Wrench with his standard. Just then the PAX started coming in, Laetner, then Blart, Ronny B squeling the tires on the way in, and I have no idea where UPS and Ricardo came form but there they were!. 2 minutes 1 minute, then the mission statement and disclaimer, which I guess is like riding a bike you just don’t forget them! I gave “some” instruction on what was about to take place and we were off for Warmarama:

SSH IC X’s 15

Imperial Walkers IC X’s 15

Sungods IC X’s 15 forward then reverse

Cotton Pickers IC X’s 15

A short mosey over to the…..I don’t know what its called but it is a big wooden half circle thing that like 12 foot high.

The Thang

While a song played the PAX would line up on the wall for BTTW with a Merkin 1 at a time down the line. The Merkin part was quickly Omaha’d. If you couldn’t hang on the wall, squats were in order.

The song played for this part was Christmas Eve/Sarajevo by The Trans Siberian Orchestra. All songs this morning were by TSO. This one was 3:25 long

A mosey out and around the rec building and back to where we just were.

Song: Good King Joy length 6:45

10 reps of Monkey Humpers one PAX at a time while staying in the squatted position until your turn

2nd round of 10 not much complaining

3rd round of 10 the complaining started. this was the last planned round but with ALL the mumble chatter I decided on a 4th round this time a 20 count.

the thought entered my mind for another round but I would’ve face planted on the first one so time for some Mary

Monkey Wrench took us out in prayer

It felt so good to get back out there finally! I have missed the workouts but more importantly, I have missed the PAX!

Until next time…..
