Preamble:

Bushwood is open for 2025! YHC has been on a Beatles kick recently, listening through all the albums in release order, and Abbey Road was next on the list. With great tracks on this penultimate studio album including "Here Comes the Sun", Abbey Road was a fitting soundtrack with which to open summer.

Warm-O-Rama:

Circle up at the relaxed 6am start time. Disclaimer, followed by SSH, WP, WM, IW, AC Fwd/Bwd, MP in cadence.

The Thang:

Thang 1: Mini Murph

With the Memorial Day Murph just days away, YHC trained the PAX with a miniature version of the real thing. We used the Bushwood playground for makeshift pull-up bars.
  • Quarter-mile mosey
  • 50 pull-ups
  • 100 merkins
  • 150 squats
  • Quarter-mile mosey

Thang 2: Individual Medley

Transition to pool. Kick off the water sports events with the individual medley OYO. 25 yards apiece:
  • Butterfly
  • Backstroke
  • Breaststroke
  • Freestyle

Thang 3: Partner Out-and-Back

  • Partner 1: Swim to other side and back, any stroke
  • Partner 2: Static hold on pool deck. Options: Plank, Air Chair, Yoga Boat Pose
  • Switch, and rinse & repeat until each partner does 3 out-and-backs

Thang 4: Treading Bear Crawl

In deep end, all PAX tread water while one PAX at a time exits pool, bear crawls to fence and back. Today's PAX made growling like a bear before jumping in pool an additional requirement to the standard bear crawl form.

COT:

Announcements, prayers. Q-sheet is open, so snag you a spot! ChatGPT and Grok are hard at work on a new logo, so stay tuned for the first-ever Bushwood t-shirt order!

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Bushwood is a great summertime change of pace. With a relaxed start time, cross-training in the pool, and a 2.0-friendly format, the options are greatly expanded for PAX to stay fit amid summertime vacationing.
