In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the first man on the moon, YHC tipped his hat in a couple of ways.

Warm-Up:

  • Side Straddle Hops 50xIC (welcome)
  • Low Slow Squats 20xIC
  • Grass Grabbers 20xIC (after a false start from a bunch of bad forms)
  • Mountain Climbers 20xIC
  • Parker Peters 20xIC
  • Shoulder Taps 20xIC
  • Merkins 20xIC
  • Peter Parkers 20xIC

Walking on the moon looks easy, but…  The PAX first lunge-walked across the great lawn, and then hopped feet together back.  Not so easy.

After a mosey to the corner of the Sculpture Garden, the PAX did an ARMSTRONG:

  • Abe Vagodas 11xIC
  • Russian Dips (one leg out) 11xIC
  • Merkins 11xIC
  • Step Ups 11xIC
  • Tempo Merkins 11xIC
  • Rocky Balboas 111xIC
  • O (YHC is too old to remember)
  • N (ditto)
  • G (ditto)

Next the PAX did an APOLLO 11:

  • A (YNC is still too old remember)
  • P (ditto)
  • O (ditto)
  • LL Cool BJ (lunge, lunge, burpee, broad jump): 11 OYO
  • Low Country Crab Boil (like LCC, except you do a dip with one arm while grabbing a foot with the other arm): 11 OYO
  • OYO Burpees.  It’s about 238,000 miles to the moon: if a Burpee is about 10,000 miles, that’s 24 burpees OYO
  • 11 – Elevens with LBCs from 1 to 10 and Dying Cockroaches from 10 to 1 and a mosey in between

Mosey back to the Great Lawn.  So what would prompt a guy to put himself in a tiny tin can hurdling into space to crash into a rock?  In an homage to CSAUP, the PAX did suicides.  Run a quarter of the way down the field, then 5 burpees, run back and then half way down the field, then 10 burpees, then run back and then three-quarters way down the field, then 15 burpees, then run back and then all the way down the field for a soft landing of just 5 burpees.
