Whoever completed the most runs in 15 minutes won…nobody passed another team so it was a 4-way tie. Congratulations everybody!

Mosey to the flag
Who has the most career opening day home runs?
Frank Robinson, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Adam Dunn – all had 8 and all played for the Reds during their career
We did 8 burpees 3 times in honor of their achievement
Who has the most career opening day starts?
Tom Seaver with 16, he also played for the Reds during his career
We did 16 squats in honor of his achievement

End of the WO

The lesson from all this: the Reds WERE a great team, they are now ancient history just like these former players, the Big Red Machine was the greatest team of all time. In present times, the Phil Castellini Reds are the worst baseball team of all time. Castellini cries because he’s not making enough money. Don’t support him or his team, make sure his Reds go into the red so he sells them.

Possum, Muck, Sweetness, Thin Lizzy, and 49er – Qs decision not to include in the stats for showing up in improper attire. Fair warning was issued to wear shorts today or their presence at the beat down would not count towards their stats.

This warning is well documented on Slack. No excuses, no whining. Choices were made, manliness won out.

Mosey to basketball courts – Up & Down Dog, Dynos – we noticed we were in the middle of a meteor shower while enjoying the gloom – dodging meteors was an important skill this morning.

Tha Thang
We circled up in the middle of the 2 basketball courts (the dot of the i). We would rotate working our way into the middle of the circle using different exercises – Bear Crawl to the middle stopping for a Merkin with each stride, lunging to the middle and stopping for a Squat with each stride, hoping with a SSH each time, along with a few other variations – each time we worked our way from the middle we did a reverse Bear Crawl until those got really hard and we switched to a Reverse Lunge.

Between sets of circle exercises – we ran around the tennis courts – the stem of the i.

To finished, we counted off in 3’s and sprinted into the middle of the circle and Bernie’d to the outside of the circle.
