That’s why they call it “The Zoo!”

Preamble:

The Zoo Watercooler was light on HC’s, but two showed up ready to kick things off in style.  Here’s how she went…

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey to the parking lot in front of the playground for warm-up’s, all IC.

SSH

Windmills

Copperhead squats

The Thang:

We started things off with a mini-murph:

half mile run, stop at the pull-up bars for:

50 pull up’s

100 Mercans

150 Squats

All know that this one, even the mini, is a challenge.  1/2 mile back- PAX finished at 25:34

Next up, the Body takes us to the soccer field for a true Zoo-style beatdown:

Leap-frogs to the mid-line

line up on the hash for:

Bear crawl across, crawl bear back

forward crab walk across, backwards crab walk back

alpine skier’s (slight break from the animal theme)

duck walk, backwards duck walk

inch worms

3 rounds of Howling Monkeys (police car stopped and lingered for minute or two on this one)

mosey to the benches for dips and incline mercans

Finish up with the 8 gates of hell:

8 LBC’s

8 Reverse LBC’s

8 LBC’s with left leg up

8 LBC’s with right leg up

rinse and repeat x 8

COT:

-Praise for Clyde’s successful knee surgery

-Prayers for the Body for upcoming bachelor party weekend in Orange Beach.  May he serve as a solid role model for his younger co-travelers. (I seriously laughed when I wrote that, but we are praying for a safe and enjoyable weekend for all!)
