Jacks and Blimps

Date:12/26/16
QIC:Rudy
PAX:Bogey, Bongo, Duct Tape, Jingle Vader, Marlin, Rudy, Triple Shift, Woz

Weather: A balmy 70 degrees.  Humid.  Foggy.  Damp.  Just delightful day-after-Christmas weather.  PAX start appearing in the gloom, ready to pay the piper for the Christmas food and beverage indulgences.  Clock strikes 5:30 (on the Q’s notoriously inaccurate watch), so after the disclaimer – we’re off to find the rocks.

COP: Jacks warm up

  • SSH x25
  • Seal Jack x25
  • Smurf Jack x25

Then Plank-o-Rama

  • Peter Parker x25
  • Mountain Climber x25
  • Parker Peter x25
  • Plan Jack x25

Back to our feet for arm circles (each way x15).  Then find a rock suitable for short moseying.

The Playground: Partner up – 8 PAX, so 4 groups of 2.

  • Station 1: Burpees
  • Station 2: Uneven-bar rows
  • Station 3: Swerkins (like Derkins, but with your feet in the swing)
  • Station 4: Pull-ups

Burpees are the counter, everything else is AMRAP.  Each round, everyone rotates through all 4 stations.  Round 1: 12 burpee timer.  Round 2: 10 burpee timer.  Round 3: 8 burpee timer.

Grab your lonely rock.  We really are going to use them.

The Field: BLIMPS.  Field isn’t measured for football, but using Bogey approximation method (“the lightpost, then the bench, then the possum over by the shrubbery), we lined up for rock-BLIMPS.

  • Goal Line: 5 Burpees
  • 1st Light Post: 10 Lunge sets (with Rock)
  • Edge of the Circle: 15 IW sets (with Rock)
  • Other Edge of the Circle: 20 Murcans (one hand on rock, switch at 10)
  • Other Light Post: 25 Plank Jacks (hands on rock)
  • Other Goal Post: 30 Squats (with Rock)

Dang, now we’re all the way at the other end of the field.  We’d better start back.  So turn around and repeat.

Mosey back to the rock pile to return our friend then horses back to the virtual flag.

Due to YHC mis-calculations, we end up back at VF 90 seconds early.  So everyone ON YOUR 6.  Russian Twist till the cows come home.

Finish Up: Count-off, Name-o-Rama, and close with our prayers.  Ask for God’s blessings on the downtrodden, addicted and lonely throughout the holiday season, and for safety, health and happiness for all of our families.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
