Introduction
Day 2 brings YHC to the Launchpad. Never been to the AO, so took a drive yesterday to check on the area.
While driving the parking lots, noticed a group of women doing a bootcamp workout on the basketball courts. Didn’t think anything of it, except for how creepy YHC appeared.
Noticed the football field, basketball courts and baseball/softball fields. Enough to work with and onto the drawing board.
PAX instructed not to bring coupons and wear a vest if they have one.

Another cold morning, so dynamic warm up it is.

Thang 1 was suppose to be on the basketball court, but there were 14 candles and a few women gathering sooooo
Improvised Thang 1-7s at the softball field. Ladder up and down
7-Merkins
14-Big Boys
21-Air Squats
28-Calf Raises
Thang 2-Football field (everyone I spoke to mentioned the field so had to give it a go)
This was inspired by Curds last BD. He had us sprinting water street and SSH if you werent sprinting. So here is what we did.
2 single file lines at the goal line. 1 PAX on each team on the 10 yd line. 1st PAX on goal line sprints to the one on the 10 yd line. That PAX sprints back to the goalline. Next PAX up and sprints to the 10. All the while the rest of the PAX SSH. YHC instructed all that once they are bored with SSH they could yell out any exercise and the PAX would switch. Merkins, Squats, Carolina Dry Docks, more SSH all done.
Oh about that run. When YHC and Boxcutter came up again we ran to the 20 instead of the 10, next time 30, next time 40…

Circle of Trust
Social Media keeps telling YHC that 2020 sucked! Understand some of us had some difficult situations we have or are having to overcome. However, there have been some bright sides. For one, we have grown closer as a family. Some of us have picked up new hobbies, some have taken on new careers. Many of us joined a group of crazies that meet almost every morning at 5:15 to tackle one of the hardest things we will do that day in 2020.
Naked Man Moleskin
First Q that YHC has had to compete with another group for space. It was weird, but hats off to whoever that is trying to hustle. Gives a reminder that we are fortunate to have a free group. Also I wonder what the PAX would do if we lined a basketball court with candles?
