PAX (9): Bo Knows, defcon2, DREAMER, Mater, Scratch-Off, Speedo, TheBigShort, Gold Digger
Preamble:
As the temperature snuck into the low 40’s I was perplexed as to why Vertigo was not there but then soon remembered he had increased his temperature rule of anything lower than ’50F’ it was a no-go. Anyways, after some nice pleasantries and a “couple of 5.16er’s” we got underway.
Warm-O-Rama:
Mosey around the starting car park introducing the standard butt kickers and high knees + side to sides we circled up and proceeded with:
15x SSH
10x Imperial Walkers
10x Copperhead (1 super quick rep)
10x Toy Soldiers
10x MC’s
Off we trotted too the field
The Thang:
PAX were met with a neatly presented white board with 6 exercises.
Aim of the game was to complete each exercise once, then go for a little run with a single burpee treat to keep them guessing. After each round the PAX took the bottom exercise off, so the next round was only 5 exercises…. so on and so forth – Aim was to Un-Stack the board!
Exercises were:
- 20x Hand Release Merkins
- 20x Bonnie Blairs (alpha)
- 50x Gas Pumpers
- 20x Alligator Merkins
- 10x No Surrenders (alpha)
- 20x BBSU
Run to the end line on the field (roughly 100M) – once at the end line you complete just 1x burpee as a well done present, then simply run back. (I still think Mater is figuring out when to do the Burpee).
PAX completed this with 15 minutes left to spare and as a reward we did 7’s by the parking lot grassy hill.
7’s exercises = Mike Tyson at the bottom and then American Hammers (alpha) at the top.
After everyone stormed through the 7’s I was convinced that all the PAX either had a good breakfast prior to the BD or it was a poorly timed BD (probably the latter) we still had 8 minutes to spare, so what better way to end with Bernie Sanders up the starting parking lot hill then bear crawl 20 yards to the flags where we ended with a 4-minute CORE Blast – Pickle Pounder, Cockroaches, Box cutters, Leg Raises & J-Lo’s…. Finally, 6am rolled around.
