“temperature wise that is, not demeanor”
6 Pax showed up on time
1 Pax showed up late AGAIN. I won’t mention his name. But he likes to sidle-up.
I was reminded of my university P.E. class, taught by the basketball coach. The DIV I basketball players would always straggle in late.
The coach would admonish them, “three tardies equal one absence, and one absence equals a tardy.”
As a “C” student, I could only look around, to see if anyone else was confused by that, shrug my shoulders, and wonder how different things would be if I were 6 foot, eleven.
Anyways…time to jump on the Polar Express. To the best of my recall, here is how it went
short disclaimer …
warmup
all 20xIC; side straddle hops, good-mornings, windmills, imperial walkers, toe touches, butt-kicks, hillbillies, arm circles, single leg lunges, squats, mummy kicks
mosey to Bedrock; pick up a 10 pound, coarse crystalline texture, gray, limited porosity and permeability, limestone boulder.
all 20xIC; curls, overhead presses, rows, outward presses
mosey to the front of the Taj Mahal for the MERKIN HONOR ROLL
here we have lots of brick pavers, each with a name and date, honoring former St.Tammany Parish school board employees.
circle up at the flagpole outer ring
one pax, at a time, bearcrawls in toward the flagpole to a brick, reads the name and from the last two digits of the date, chooses the higher number and this dictates the number of merkins for the PAX to do.
for example if the brick reads “Joe Joblotz 1930-1967.” We call out Joblotz,Joblotz,… while doing 7 merkins. That pax bearcrawls out. The next pax bearcrawls in, reads the stats off his brick and we merkin to the stat, repeat with each pax taking a turn.
We got in a lot of merkins, bear crawling, and planking, to keep us warm.
mosey to the St.Tammany Parish Courthouse promenade
In forward motion; One Burpee, Two Burpees, Three Burpees, Four Burpees, then up the steps, down the ramp, down the block and around. Repeat four times.
Then to the benches for 20xIC dips, 20xIC step-ups
Indian Run back to the trail head
