Preamble:
A couple months ago, the mumble chatter in the gloom turned to new beat down games we could create to keep things interesting. Battleship was one of the ideas. Took a little thought but YHC came up with an approach to bring together fun with a bit of painful delight.Warm-O-Rama:
Ran around the parking lot to pick up Cookie and Shazam racing in at the buzzer on 2 wheels (channeling their inner Nacho). Then made our way to the cheese grater with high knees, butt kickers and karaoke on the way. A couple warm up exercises then over to the pool lot for Battleship.The Thang:
Divided into Team 1 and Team 2. YHC had drawn 2 grids of 4 squares by 4 squares in the lot with chalk, along with throw stations on either side of the grids. Each team placed an exercise card from the F3 deck of cards in each square of their grid. Each team also had five 8-inch long 2x4 blocks. Place a 2-block ship and a 3-block ship within your respective grid. Teams took turns throwing a 15 lb medicine ball from the throw station to the other team's grid to try to take out ships. Must knock over a block to score a hit. Score a hit, that team runs around 1 island while the other teams does jump squats. Land outside the grid, that team does 5 burpees while the other team does SSH. Land in a square without a hit, everyone does the exercise on the card. Team 2 definitely had their torpedoes dialed in. They won the 1st game by a good margin and were ahead in the 2nd when we hit time.COT:
