Keep the lights on Home Run Derby at the BFH

QIC: DeLorean

PAX (5): Funyun, Github, ShuttleCock, Zohan

Preamble:

Beautiful day for a double Q!  Enjoyed my Dawn Patrol Q, but now it's time to lead the men of the Black Widow (Widowmaker?!?!?!?).  All the hooplah is over at NLB for the beatdown and breakfast but we will keep the lights on at the BFH.

Warm-O-Rama:

SSH WP - Zohan says I should include the PAX in DeLorean style WPs.  Point taken IW Arm Circles   Mercan Mile, DeLorean style:  ran almost a mile, rotated exercises:
  • wolverines, mercans, burpees, dry docs, 3 minute "movement (line jumps, SSH, Smurf jacks, IW, etc), pull ups, derkins...
... back to the field...

The Thang:

We gonna play Home Run Derby!  My first ever beatdown had a baseball station... so we are going to throw it back (pun intended): Only 5 PAX today, so one hits and the rest shag balls out in the filed. 3 swings each person.  we wagered exercises on each player, and the number of home runs hit equals the "punishment" -- more home runs earns you slight reprieve but low or no home runs earns the group the full max exercise rep count. Exercises rotated from arms, to legs, to abs... and back. We did many many different exercise, I can't remember them all but maybe:
  • mercans, dry docks, bear crawls, crawl bears, shoulder taps, planks, etc..
  • squats, Bobby Hurley, lunges, bonnie blair, one legged squats, etc...
  • freddie mercury, low plank, dying cockroach, big boys, ABCs, etc...
After each inning (every player hits), the entire group ran a lap around the field.

COT:

Prayers spoken and unspoken.  I appreciate you guys.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Always a pleasure to lead!
