After leading 22 HIMs out West far too easily yesterday, YHC needed a reset — the kind only the Mothership can provide. Arrived a few minutes early to send Vagabond off on his long run. Catfish rolled in next, and soon we were joined by a man on a bike, a guy climbing out of a minivan, and then — from the direction of the Peristyle — a new voice called out, “Are you guys F3?”

I flashed my F3 ID card , and just like that we welcomed Oz (DR from Minnesota) and Panda Express (Uptown). Two men who had no idea what kind of morning they were about to experience.

Warm-O-Rama – At the Peristyle
• Windmills
• Good Mornings
• Peter Parkers
• Seal Taps
• Parker Peters
• Tie Fighters

Sunday mornings always end with Sunday Mornings OYO.
Today… we did Sunday Mornings IC x 3, because why not.

Thang 1 – Benches of Discipline
• 1 Dip : 4 Squats up to 5 : 20
• 1 Squat : 4 Dips up to 5 : 20
Then to the rock pile to collect coupons.

Thang 2 – The Great Lawn: 1771 Mayhem Edition

Two movements:
• 8-Count Body Builders
• Bonnie Blairs

The twist?
• Murder Bunny with your rock to the center point (speaker marked the spot)
• Bear Crawl to the far side

This one hushed the mumblechatter quickly.

Thang 3 – Return of the Benches
• 1 Dirkin : 4 Irkins up to 4 : 16
• 1 Irkin : 4 Dirkins up to 4 : 16
Then back to the rock pile to return coupons.

Thang 4 – Ring of Fire
• Two rounds: 10 Hip Slaps
• Two rounds: 10 Shoulder Taps

Then we introduced Oz and Panda Express to the legendary: Mayhem Merkins — 10-count misery and full-body redemption.

Thang 5 – 6 Minutes of Mary

Closing Motivation
Whether DR from Minnesota or Uptown, on a bike or in a minivan, every HIM who steps into the gloom steps into a chance to get better. SYITG
