The Thang: EMOM timer. Run down and back up to the spa. Complete as many reps as you can before timer ends.
For the next round, do the same, but take off 5 reps. Then add a rep each of the next rounds until failure. When you fail to complete your reps in the minute, only run down 2/3 of the ramp, but still add a rep. Next fail, just do 1/3 of the ramp, but still add reps.
First to fail the 1/3 ramp carries the sandbag to the bottom, does two sandees, return with sandbag to the spa then join back in with reps and running until third PAX fails. Then ALL PAX run all the way down, return to top, recover and get instructed on next round while holding a wall sit. Round one – overhead press
Round two – block sit, feet off the ground, to jump squats
Round three – hand release block merkins

The directions were unclear but by round three everyone was fully on board. I’ll do better next time.

Mary: back to the flag, 40 flutter kicks IC
Anyone who did not get to do sandees during the beatdown did two during the flutters.

Moleskine: Write your M a nice note. Pens and post it notes were provided.

COT: Prayers for Tortuga’s doctor appointment today and the new young family group at DQ’s church.

Rifle carried our coupons around the full perimeter of the AO (ex Dan Taylor Alley) stopping at every light post (not sure how many there were but it was a lot) for 10 coupon curls or 10 dips using the coupon (alternating). We also stopped at each corner to set our coupons down and do a round of BOMBS (Burpees x5, Overhead Press x10, Merkins x10, BBSUs x10, Squats x10).Shout out to the PAX as I contemplated backing off on the routine as it was brutal but ultimately I did not adjust and they crushed it.We had a little time left so we went to Hoffa for a burn out round of 11s (Star Jumps at base and Derkins at mid point)Moleskine:
