Introduction
Come join YHC as we take on the Mammoth as I visit, yet again, another part of my old stomping grounds. This time I won’t be walking the links while chasing down hooks and slices while swearing indefinitely! (ok, probably will still be doing that).
We’ll be moving about the AO a bit so bring those good shoes
We’ll work those 
and 
so bring that coupon
Protect those soft hands by bringing good

Ready to see what The House Of Animal has in store for the Wooly?

*Through the Tunnel is a Tappy Tap variation, where the 1,2,3 progresses the stretch with the arms stretching through and passed the legs
** Willy Mays Hays is a side to side leg stretch. Similar to the way a base-runner would lean towards a base they are going to steal. Counted in cadence

Ball of Man:
One of the key focuses of the workout was that all the men showing up to post are leaders and that is why I included them in the counts as we progressed through various exercise reps. EVERY Pax contributed to the workout as we got stronger together.
I am still building my SLT for the West Sub-Region, thanks to Road Trip for jumping in as the 2nd F and likely Sun Devil as my Growth Q.
I told the Pax I’ll only be as strong in the role of Nan’Tan as the feedback I am getting. Good and Bad. I asked the Pax to keep pulse on the needs of the various AOs so that we can grow together, in the right way and in the right areas.
Naked Man Moleskin
La Bamba braved the East Side despite being a West Aurora BlackHawk, walking into the Tomcat region and kicking the Mastodon in the teeth.
