AKA Witness Protection, AKA Manny Shaq-Iaou, AKA MayorMcShaq,or more commonly

Typical Warm up with the added blessing of a Cajun recipe shared by Enron that got all Pax riled up wanting to know how to make Fake Turtle Soup. Crowd went wild as he explained the intricacies of such a delicacy that most of the circle couldn’t help but dry heave as he blasted the remnants from last night across everyone’s assaulted nostrils. Mouths were open…

Honestly expected going into this portion we would have way more ab type workouts to do and instead we did so many more squats which would prove to be detrimental once we got to Thang 3…more on that later. Enron has got his best CPA co-workers on the calculations as we got reminded this morning math is not his strong suit, and Dox sent his wife to brainstorm with the other doctors as they are all hard at work calculating the exact number of squats performed this morning. We all wait with sore quads in anticipation to know how manly our legs will be tomorrow morning upon waking up. Word is Goose has gone home to study for Kobe Bryant’s birthday to be better prepared come August. Now with our fresh knowledge that will definitely be on the test at the end of the semester, we moved into our training and competition.
Thang 2: Cone Dribbling Drill
1. Each Pax on a team must dribble through the cone course and return back to the team then the next pax can go.
2. While the Pax is dribbling the rest of the team will do various workouts until Dribbling
Pax is done.
1. SSH (1:1)
2. Flutter Kicks (2:1)
3. Squats (1:1)
4. LBCs (1:1)
5. Al Gore (1:1)
6. 6” Inch hold (1:1)
Team wins when each team member has dribbled twice through the course. Winning team
receives nothing but props for being better ball handlers than the other team. Side Note: YHC neglected to mention that this was a race until near the second lap and this probably is the reason Team 2 lost. No excuses though, Team 2 just needs to start dribbling practice for Big Shamrock’s Birthday next year. First practice is Wednesday at 9pm after kids go to bed. See you guys at the Lion’s Den. Team 1, find your own place to practice!
Thang 3: 11’s
Burpee (1:1)
– Mosey with #1’s pointing to Sky to opposite Sidewalk
Apolo Ohnos (2:1)
– Nur Back with Hand held up like after just making 1st (and only) Career 3-
pointer
This portion was simply put here to make sure all the whoopers could show their strain to the rest of the world. Looking forward to those screen shots fellas. Also, all those incorrect answers and squats really piled on to make this thang increasingly difficult. The ANIMAL himself recognized another ANIMAL in his midst and I believe it was the grit and determination Cardinal showed to complete this monster of strain pushed him over the edge to be gifted the peeled back sweat covered shirt off Smooth and is Monday’s ANIMAL. (Which will be gifted on Thursday due to unforeseen conflicts for a Tuesday Tuff).
4MOM potlock style with Goose throwing in the crowd favorite Dr. W’s and Dox finishing us
off with his ever famous Dolphin Hops. Gotta love em! (Cuz we do them so much).
COT and Paradox prayed us out!
Great Birthday celebration today fellas, and thanks for putting up with Enron’s fake turtle soup recipe long enough to get through another beatdown.
SYITG,
Lil’ Cuz, AKA Cuz Master, AKA The Big CUZ, AKA, Manny Cuz-Iaou, AKA MayerMcCuz,
