Magical Mystery Tour #6

Preamble:

Just like the Beatdown, most of this Backblast is made up on the spot. Yada yada, lorem ipsum, filler filler. Yada yada, lorem ipsum, filler filler. Yada yada, lorem ipsum, filler filler.

We did a Magical Mystery Tour with a Twist. After each station, the PAX were asked if that series of exercises was made up on the Pre-Run.

Spoiler: if it wasn’t made up on the pre-run, it was most likely made up 30 seconds before announcing it.

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey to the pavilion. No, not that one. That one.

Conducted a series of warmup exercises to get loose. Verdict: Made up on the spot. Forgotten on the spot.

The Thang:

Mosey to stop 1? Technically stop 2 if warm up was stop 1. Okay, mosey to Stop 2 on the Magical Mystery Tour with a Twist: the baseball fields concession stand.

• Stationary 7s w/ Dips & Burpees. Verdict: Made up during warmup (if you guess prerun on both of those, you have zero points)

Mosey to Stop 3: Muscle Beach

• Morning Call x2. Verdict: Made up on the Prerun. Well…technically, I decided to rinse & repeat during round 1… Or did YHC decide that?

Mosey to Stop 4: The Library. Partner up.

• One runs around the parking lot, one does American Hammers (x3)
• One runs around the parking lot, one does Monkey Humpers (x2)
• Verdict: Made up on the spot

Mosey to Stop 5: Holcomb’s Hideaway

• Build-a-Burpee: 10 Merkins, 10 Jump Squats, 10 Burpees. Verdict: made up on the spot.

Mosey to Stop 6: Upper Lot

• Jack Webb. Definitely not half of it though. We only made it through 5 rounds. Verdict: made up on the spot.

Mosey to Stop 7: The Pitch

• Wind Sprints: 2×50, 1×100. Verdict: technically on the spot b/c I wasn’t sure we would have time. But I love doing wind sprints at the end…so…hung jury.

Mosey Back to the Flag

COT:

• 6/20 Gladiator Ann’y + Breakfast
• 7/4, I think we bullied a Q into doing it, but I don’t remember who. Maybe folks will be encouraged by this morning. Like, Oh…if that guy can do that, then surely I can be a Q.
• FIA Convergence 8/5
• Reddimix Quad 8/11-8/12

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Hopefully y’all got something out of today. I’m sore. We did a lot of burpees. Ran a lot. Hey, maybe one day, if you Q enough, you can make up a shitty workout out of thin air despite having plenty of time to plan. That’s the dream, right?

Scratch-Off, out.
