Cold was the morning… It was the morning after Halloween, PAX came tired and some hungover. Brush burn began his VQ exactly for 5:30 am with 16 others along for the ride in front of the fountain at Audubon. Moseyed to in front of Tulane for the warmup. 20 side straddle hops, 20 forward arm circles, 20 reverse arm circles (this confused some), and 20 grass grabbers. Some got distracted and checked out the leftover mini jack-o-lanters. On to the bottom of the mountain. Partner up and play a little catch me if you can. One partner runs up the mountain backwards while the other does 10 burpees. Catch up and switch… all the way up the mountain. Quads start to burn and lungs begin to expand in the cold (in the low 40s for the morning).
At the summit, Q decided to keep with the partner them and begin a series of Doras. 100 merkins, 200 BBSUps, and 300 lunges. While the theory was sound, the execution was more time-intensive than expected. Modified to 150 BBSUps and 200 lunges. Some pax began to understand why “Brush burn” decided to do BBSUps at the summit.
Moseyed back to the flag. Finished the workout with more merkins and lbcs. Success for Brush burn and the rest of the pax.
