    When Murphy met Sally 8/1

    Q: Montoya

    Pax: Gold star, Carmen sanding, bobber, malware, meatloaf, Spalding, deliverance, Poe, bourbon, tarnish

    Thang: it was a lovely morning to put some work in. We used the tune of Sally to tell us when to do our reps. First we did merkins at the flag. When Sally said up we were up and when Sally said down we were at half plank. Then we mosey over to the playground equipment and had the rest of the fun.

    Pull-ups, squats, dips, big boy sit ups, leg ups, step ups on the bench, and calf raises. Using Sally to set the cadence.

    After each exercise we sprinted to the yellow poles and did ten merkins or squats, alternating.

    Then we mosey back to flag and ended in announcements and COT but not before the pax lifted me on their shoulders and shouted my name for one of the best beatdowns ever

    Beatdown:
    This beatdown is the Saturday before the Red Ryder Cup and is dedicated to one of our fallen brothers and veterans, Gaven “Red Ryder” Smith.
    The number 22, at one time, represented the estimated number of veteran suicides per day in the United States. While this number has been challenged and debunked like most things in our world today, the significance of the number still is staggering and represents veteran suicide awareness.
    Motivators – 10 to 1
    Red Ryder WOD for 22 minutes with “Start Over” by Flame on repeat.
    22 reps of each:
    Merkins
    Squats
    Big Boy Sit Ups
    Burpees
    Plank Jack Shoulder Taps(2 is 1)
    Lt. Dans
    LBC’s
    Absolutions
    Sprint around the field on the sidewalk
    Repeato
    At the end of 22 minutes, Bourbon gathered the PAX and spoke about Red Ryder and mental health.
    Finish the rest of the beatdown repeating Red Ryder WOD with the same song where Bourbon asked the PAX to really listen to the words and let them sink in as they are putting in the work.
