The Thang:

Run around the farmhouse as quick as you can.  First two finished will be team captains (Cheetah and Sugar Mountain)

Indian Run up to Yemasee St and back.

Get logs from back of YHC truck and place on grass beside the patio facing the road.  Each member of the team will flip the log and run to the sidewalk and to the back of the line.  Line continuously moving.  When at the sidewalk flip it back toward the patio.  After you flip run to the patio and then to the back of the line.  Line continuously moving.

Losing team owes winning team 5 burpees.

Captains get your team and the log to the soccer fields by way of the road ASAP.  Once at the soccer field captains select one man to get the log across the field while the remaining PAX gather blocks.

Relay race with the log.  One man carries the log about half way on the field and then sprints back.  Next man sprints to the log and brings it back.  Rinse and repeat until all team members have gone.  PAX did random exercises called by YHC while each team member flipped the log.  Exercises included:  Curls for the girls, tri cep extensions, over head press and lawn mowers.

Losing team owed winning team 5 burpees.

Relay race to opposite end of soccer field and back.  Losing team owed winning team 5 burpees.  Continued the block exercises with PAX not sprinting.

Slow jog around the soccer field.

20 curls for the girls on Q, 20 tri cep extensions on Q, 20 over head press on Q, 20 lawn mowers on Q each side.

Stow blocks and captains responsible for getting logs back into YHC truck.

Mary: Gather at the playground.  20 WW1 situps and go up the stairs and down the slide.  20 LBC’s and back to the bottom of the stairs.  Rinse and Repeat for 12 minutes.

Moleskin:   Sugar Mountains team got their asses handed to them over and over again.  When selecting teams it would have probably made things a bit more fair if YHC would have explained what we were going to be doing.  However, all the captains knew was there was log work involved.  Sugar picked his team based on strength while Cheetah picked his on speed.  Cheetah prevailed….every time.  Cheetah’s team even felt sorry and joined in on the last set of burpees.  Lastly, the slide @ the Ponds may be the most fun slide in all of Charleston.

The Thang:
-Partnered up based on age (two youngest were partners, and pair up next two guys in age, all the way to the oldest).
-Did a modified Dora…one partner runs the loop that we ran during the warmup, the other partner does an exercise called by the Q…but we don’t count reps…we just do that exercise until I switch to a new one.
-Exercises were merkins, squats, flutter kicks…each round lasting about 6-8 minutes.
-After the flutter kicks, we circled back up and did SSH x25 IC.
-Partnered up based on birth date.
-Did another set of modified Dora w/ new partners…exercises were burpees, squat jumps, and LBCs.

Announcements: Saturday workouts are the closest thing we have to a convergence right now…so a good turnout is great to see.

Devo: Gave the Bedrock mantra.

Moleskin: I saw that this Q was open, and I had never Q’d outside Bedrock, so I decided to give it a shot.  The AO was a bit chaotic, with FiA having their Olympics and construction blocking off the horseshoe area, but luckily I was able to find a good loop to run to make the modified Dora work.  A good mix of guys from different AOs showed up, and hopefully they got their money’s worth.

Devo: Follow Me
As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. So Levi got up and followed him. (NLT) ( Mark 2:14  )

When our lives feel unsure and we don’t know what our next step should be, remember that all Jesus requires is that we continue to follow Him. No matter the circumstances of our lives, God is faithful to gently call us toward Himself.  Remain faithful to Him and He is always faithful to care for you, even in your darkest hour.

Moleskin:   YHC wanted to mix it up this AM.  The rotating Saturday BC’s are a great opportunity to try some things out.  In the preblast I requested with your HC to tag someone you would be partnered with.  The ones that did HC and the person they EHed showed up as well were paired up.  The remaining were paired up before beginning.  For the second part wanted to turn that competition into teamwork.  Everyone put in work this morning and left better for it.

Pledge and COT  Turned to face the houses across N Hickory and said it loud and proud 

Announcements: Repo’s run to benefit Camp Hands of Hope.  Race will be virtual

Devo: YHC went to Publix after work on Friday.  They were busy.  The lines were backed down the aisles and it was just hectic.  The cashier was super friendly and very professional.  Upon leaving the store I called into the manager to give her a praise.  Working in retail I know the complaints far out weigh the compliment.  Ever since my wife and I have been married we have made an effort to call into businesses and praise when their workers are going above and beyond their required efforts.  Normally when we call in the manager says thank you so much for letting us know.  But this time the manager told me she would stop what she was doing and go congratulate here and give her a free lunch.  I challenged the PAX to reach out when service at businesses is exceptional.

Moleskin:   With 21 guys joining in the BC at various times and having to coordinate folks driving to the garage due to having to get to work and biking to the garage to modify heavy running the coordination was challenging at best.  YHC got a little tongue tied and said several times “pair up in teams of 7”.  The PAX didn’t let me get away it.  Everyone put in work.  Goal was to get the heart rate up and keep it up for the duration of the BC.  From the death threats and cursing that I received I will assume I achieved this goal.  Glad to be here.

Devo: John 3:30 – He shall become greater and I shall become less. There’s a brand from Hawaii I love HE>i. It stands for He is greater than I. While confusing to look at initially, it’s a great way to remember to put the Lord first and make Him of utmost importance rather than selfishly placing myself first.

Moleskin:   PSA, practice safe weapons handling discipline. Always treat a weapon as if it’s loaded, never muzzle flash or point as someone you don’t intend to shoot, practice good trigger discipline, and only place your finger on the trigger when ready to shoot. Familiarize yourself with weapons under safe conditions.
