Okay…so it’s been a few days since YHC Q’ed Rock City but a late backblast is better than no backblast.
Twas the morning after All Hallows Eve as six brave souls ventured forth to work off their treats from the night before.
After disclaimer, we headed near the rock pile for warmups.
Warmups consisted of:
o Grass Grabbers IC 10
o Abe Vigodas X 12 IC
o Happy Jacks X 4 Sets IC
o Forward and Reverse Arm Circles
o Swan Dives
Sufficiently warmed, we headed to the rock pile, grabbed large rocks (most of us) and headed to the field.
The first event was Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum – of course. We lined up and, trying not to hit each other and incur 20 burpees, we threw our rocks as far as we could, broad jumped then lunged the remaining distance to the rock. Rinse and repeat until we hit the fence.
Next, we traversed to the track for a lap or two of Catch Me If You Can. Dragon walk was the third exercise beginning at the 50yd line and ending at the goalpost.
Having dispensed with the preliminaries, it was time to head to the darkened tennis courts for the main event.
Blind Man’s Dodgeball:
The original setup, which I must admit was mostly taken from Rev Sox’s Q, went something like this:
Two Pax were on opposite sides of a half-court with rest in between. When a Pax got hit, he would step off and do the exercise following the one the previous PAX did from the following list: 8 Pull-ups, 8 Burpees, 8 Bodybuilders, 8 BBS. Then he would return and take over as a ball thrower.
Admittedly, the rules evolved somewhat as YHC learned that one half court was waaayyyy too small, but using half of two courts with throwers on each end was too boring due to it still being relatively dark and hard to see. The best configuration was keeping the throwers restricted to the green area of the court while rest of Pax had to stay on the red areas (partial credit to Rudy).
At 6:15 it was back to the rock pile and a quick mosey to the flag for COT.
Coffeteria at PJs followed.
Thanks for the fellowship!
