YHC rolled up to the stage at exactly 6:15 to see 4 PAX waiting patiently to get started. I then had to inform them that help was needed moving the bricks gathered from my back yard over to the front of “the stage”. Grateful this morning to make it out during a short break in the rain that has been moving through with much more to come today. Additionally thankful for one more warmer morning before the cold. For this beatdown, I took a couple of ideas from previous beatdowns and backblasts along with making sure I added something that left the workout to “chance”, one of Cardinals favorites.
Warmup: the usual – SSH, WM, AC, Cherry Pickers, IW, Self Love
Thang 1: Dice Run
YHC was running late this morning and forgot the dice, Siri was helpful in providing a random number generator of 1-6
Rules were explained as follows
Each PAX had one “roll”, the number that came up dictated the run that would follow. 5 total laps
1- Mosey one lap around the field
2- Sprint one lap around the field
3- Jog then karaoke one lap – alternating at each corner
4- Mosey then sprint one lap – alternating at each corner
5- Start slow mosey and increase speed around each corner
6- Slow mosey with 5 merkins at each corner and 5 burpees at the end

Thang 4 – a song
Joe Nicholls – Yeah
In plank position for the entirety of the song, plank jack on “yeah” and mountain climber on “she”
This song was longer than YHC originally thought, leading to more difficulty as well as ending the beatdown immediately after.
COT and Goose prayed us out
