Viking Logistics

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

11 doods woke up in separate domiciles, then individually drove their cars to a parking lot, alighted said transportation, and moved their bodies vigorously in the pursuit of fitness and male community leadership. In the dark. Because Arrowhead is a safe, non-judgemental place where sufferers of heliophobia may gather and peacefully fellowship while cursing the light that ordinarily pierces our living breath and brings torturous suffering to our days.

DISCLAIMER

COP
Inchworms, and some other stuff lost forever to recorded history but stored in the collective memory of our mitochondrias and gut microbiomes.

THE THANG
In preparation for the assault on a defenseless monastery (a.k.a the playground), we carried our coupon there. Because that is the exact same thing as preparing for an amphibious assault. The Pax functioned not as efficient warriors, but rather as the logistical support for the main battle. A very exciting yet unassuming role, I was assured by many.

We then completed this circuit repeatedly (again, identical to a war-time assault support by skilled logicians, perpetrated upon a peaceful community of ascetics). Also, for combat authenticity, we listened to a selection of tunes from the Vikings TV show soundtrack. Several felt this experience approximated the hell of war so completely that they are now eligible for benefits at the VA.

  • 5 pull-ups
  • 10 HR merkins
  • 15 squats with coupon
  • Burden carry coupon to swings
  • 5 rows
  • 10 HR merkins
  • 15 V-ups
  • Burden carry coupon back to start
  • Run 1 lap to end of parking lot and back
  • R&R

Mosey back to the track, victorious and heavily burdened with the spoils of war (that means we carried our coupons).

Final boss

Vikings had those, right? The logistical crew was ambushed at the supply boats by the mythical, multi-armed Kraken (of sorts). Our combat cephalopod has but one known weakness – physical fitness and mental toughness. I guess that’s two weaknesses but that’s okay.

In order to lop off a tentacle, a pax had to complete 10 burpees and 100 SSH, in any order or combination, and we needed every pax to sever at least 3 tentacles in order to slay the beast. That’s 30 burpees and 300 SSH per pax if you are counting. Fortunately, by 6:15 the oceanic octopi was hacked into hors d’oeuvres and beat back into the abyss. Amen.

MARY
Mary is not a viking name so therefore she was not present.
CIRCLE OF TRUST
PRAYER
MOLESKIN
Realizing our selfishness can be a rewarding way to experience the love of God and each other. Only by having the contrast of our selfish nature can we fully appreciate the selflessness of God and the miracle of love for each other.
