Extra Credit was a little lonelier than usual, but the spiders in the bleachers did get their weekly Friday wakeup call. Negative split on each bleacher lap.

Don Quixote's while Backfire took his sweet time rolling into the AO at a leisurely pace — after 0530.
Disclaimer, emphasis on modifying if injured, but not just to make it easier. YHC immediately became a hypocrite when I modified the Q halfway through to make it easier because I was gassed … But not injured.
Tha Thang:
Back parking plot is a grid of 5×5 Islands. At each island, 25 reps of a PAX called exercise. Cindy's were provided and would be carried from Island to Island. We did not make it through all 25 Islands, but if we had, we would've gotten 625 reps, and then would add on 2 burpees for a total of 627 reps on 6/27.
Exercises done were (not in this order):
Burpees
Derkins
Curls
Offset Merkins
SSH
Jump Squats
Flutter Kicks while holding block
Chest Press with block
Burpees (but instead of 25 at 1 Island, YHC modified with 5 burpees at 5 Islands each after whatever other exercise was being done at that island)
Overhead Press
WWII
Tricep Extensions
Bear Crawls to next island while dragging/sliding Cindy
American Hammers (back at the flag)
There was a 5 burpee flyover in their somewhere too.
Also did some back scratchers and boat canoe to close out Mary at the end.
COT:
Count-o-rama, Name-o-rama, AAR, Announcements, Pledge, Prayer
AAR: Good format, good rotation with PAX calling the exercise. Gilligan wants more running. Radar pointed out we could've done it all if we did less reps. The wisdom of the recently turned 62 year old is extensive.
Announcements: 10 year celebration … Block out 11/8 on your calendar now, and probably part of 11/9. I wouldn't go crazy on 11/7 either. You won't want to miss this.
Octagon and Dorothy need to get on the Q sheet! I just signed up for my next Q on 8/4.
