A surprisingly chilly Monday morning greeted the PAX at Pontiff playground. YHC had checked the weather and must have mistook the “4” in 40s for a “7” in 70s. Marlin, of course, was ready for the weather – dressed in full winter gear. Clock struck 5:30, and 8 PAX took off out of the gate. YHC was slightly worried – as some Rock City regulars have a tendency to roll in late, and we were GOING THE WRONG WAY.
But off we went.
COP #1: Avoid the swamplands and instead find a patch of gloomy damp grass. Circle up, now 9 PAX strong as Hawg caught us on the way.
- SSH x30
- IW x30
- Plank-o-rama: Peter Parker x25, Floyd Mayweather x25, Parker Peter x25, Mountain Climber x25
Mosey continues the wrong way around the park.
COP #2: The Playground. Now 10 PAX strong, as Tool finds us – he ran the wrong-right way around the park eventually catching us on the opposite side… So 5 stations
- 15 Burpees (counter)
- Pull-ups
- Derkins
- Low Slow Squats
- Low Row Pull-ups (OK, so these were TOO LOW. But lots of modifications to get a workout out of this. YHC felt bad watching Walleye attempting to fold his 8+ foot frame underneath that bar)
Repeat 2 circuits
Mosey continues the wrong way around the park.
COP #3: The Spartacus Bandstand. Quick stop off for
- Right Leg Step Up x25
- Dip x20
- Left Leg Step Up x25
Mosey continues the wrong way around the park – to finally get to the Rock Pile.
COP #4: Rock Pile. YHC encourages PAX to go bigger, as we aren’t moving anywhere. Focus on Form. Cadence count will be slower. Triple Shift and Jingle Vader both chose to show the PAX what “bigger” meant. Gentlemen, I applaud you and hope one day to be able to lift a rock like that.
- Shoulder Press x12
- Curl x12
- Row x15
- Down-Up Squat x15 (sorry for the cadence misfire the first time…)
Repeat 2 circuits. One extra round of Shoulder Press just because. Smarmy mumble-chatter heard from Rev Sox.
Mosey back to the flag. Doing my best to keep up with Mahatma – I’m not sure he even broke a sweat as he went sailing by on that last run.
COP #5: Finish up with Mary.
- Flutter Kick x25
- Dolly x25
- Rosalita x25
Disappointed that we had no Bogey sing-a-long today.
Finish up with Count-off, Name-o-Rama and Prayers. Send everyone on their way with St. Ignatius Prayer for Generosity.
Thanks for letting me lead, gentlemen!
