No High Rise = Lower Standards – from Mayhem

Conditions: 75F and 75F feels like temp, no wind, UV Index 0

Warm-o-Rama
Mosey to the lake
Windmills, Grass Grabbers. Then 5 penalty burpees because Frac apparently missed High Rise so much we had to make him feel it
Throw in TF, FT, MC, HS, SSH. Making this one up on the fly

MerkJax on the curb
1 merkin / 4 plankjacks → climb to 5/20, back down again
Because who doesn’t love arms in the first 10 minutes… at 5:30am?

Mosey to the benches by the fountain and more arms
1 dip / 4 squats → climb to 5/20
Moment of silence for the ants Rudy annihilated with his hideous ND shoes
Then reverse it: 1 squat / 4 dips → up to 5/20

1771 on the Levee
1 burpee / 7 BBSUs → run up, 2/6 → run down, 3/5 … etc.
Yes Rudy, I stole it from Mahatma. Don’t worry, maybe one day I’ll learn something from you (Unlikely, but maybe)

To the top of the levee for dispersion and more arms
We did some things… including Mayhem Merkins (not selected by YHC)
We ran west then we ran east
We arrived at the House of Pain

More ratios (and arms) ensued
1 irkin, 4 derkins, 2/8, 3/12, 4/16
3 rounds of pullups/dead hangs with 3x as the goal
1 derkin, 4 irkins, 2/8, 3/12, 4/16

To the grassy area for some Mary, and to search for more ants
Tin Snips, Superman, Mayhem Merkins (again, NOT YHC’s choice).
Mercifully, Vagabond didn’t get called on… dodged a bullet

COT
Announcements: IPC at El Diablo for next 4 weeks with Hawg
Prayers: personal intentions, weddings, and, of course, more ants on Rudy’s shoes

NMM:
-Still waiting for a proof-of-life picture (paging Rudy’s pager now)… oh wait, just delivered
-High Rise tagged since he was spiritually there, or maybe just haunting Vagabond’s head
-The gloom is great, the sunrise is better, ants suck
-Appreciate the last-minute chance to Q, thanks High Rise for faking sick! “Feel better”
