introduction

It was balmy in the single digits today. The wind was at bay with our AO being protected by trees and hills on most sides. When you ran, you could feel the wind chill hitting you in the face and lungs. It was a cold one, but I don’t think any of us ever felt cold. YHC had to remove my neck gaiter and ‘boggan to try to cool down, and was close to having to take off my jacket, too. My hair was frozen solid and was forming a layer of frost by the end of the WO. Great day for a beatdown.

  • SSH – 20 IC
  • Copperhead Squats – 12 IC
  • Arm Circles – 10 IC Forward & Back
  • Arm/Shoulder Stretches to prepare for the work we were about to receive.

Mosey across the lower lot and up to the coupons. Each PAX grabbed 1 and moseyed to the middle of the top tier and partnered up. 1 PAX from each pair moved their coupon down two tiers straight in front of their starting position.

PAX 1 works, PAX 2 runs down 2 tiers to the 2nd coupon, does 5 Wall Jumps + 5 Coupon Squats, runs back to PAX 1. PAX keep switching until work is done. Perform coupon passes and begin next exercise.

After a brief moment to catch our breaths, we returned the coupons and moseyed back to the cars.

This is the 2nd time we have tried to make it through this WO, with some modification between the attempts. There were still 2 exercises left undone, so we may need to resurrect this WO again on a Saturday when there’s more time to complete it, and put all the PAX through the punishment. The men did an awesome job this am; YHC is very proud. No complaints to be heard. Everyone kept their heads down and continued to work at a constant, brisk pace the entire time.
