The Stage was set with an unexpectedly larger amount of rain than forecasted coming down in the darkness, making it feel necessary to give the PAX that can’t make it to Tuesday’s beatdowns a little taste of what it’s like. Additionally, after missing this week Tuesday Tough beatdown, YHC was ready to step up the action for Thorsday. “Yankee Joe, stop trying to make Thorsday happen, it’s not going to happen”. Anticipation increased upon hearing the night prior that Cardinal would be making his triumphant return to action from injury. And after receiving medical clearance from Paradox’s wife, a new pair of Nike Pegasus’, and listening to him give a 10-minute speech on why we should all be in attendance for the beatdown today, along with some EHing on the Groupme, and side texts. Cardinal … fartsacked. Resulting in disappointment that resonated all the way to Chackbay. Thus, later nominating him for fartsack of the year at the inaugural Thibby awards. In other fartsack discussion, after YHC requested for Paradox to bring JBL, he was nowhere to be found. Resulting in a potential allegiance shift to another speaker along with some last-minute changes to today’s routine. Although it felt like we were missing quite a few familiar faces including the mentioned absences above, the beatdown began with 7 PAX.
PAX: Goose, Superfun(d), Lil’ Cuz, Paradox, Piccadilly, Fence Post, and much later, Kilo
Warmup: The usual minus a bumper mosey
Thang 1:
The Burpee Mile:
1 mile run through rich man’s loop stopping every quarter mile. Each stop was the following:
1) 20 burpees
2) 15 burpees
3) 10 burpees
4) 5 burpees
The burpee mile was tough enough to make YHC appreciate the rain that was coming down steadily at this point.
Thang 2:
DORA 1-2-3
Partner up and grab 1 coupon per pair:
100: Partner 1: Overhead presses
Partner 2 : carioca to the sidewalk and back and flapjack with your partner taking over on the count to 100
After the first set, Goose (aka the Paxville Grinch), was feeling so strong that he grunted and slammed the coupon to the ground shattering it to pieces, intimidating the remaining PAX before quickly carioca’ing into the dark and rain.
Next, out of the dark rainy gloom from a vehicle never seen before by any of the PAX, and most likely repossessed from a previous job, Kilo arrived and jumped right into the work.
200: Partner 1: Coupon Curls
Partner 2: Nur to the sidewalk and back, flapjack until 200 is reached
300: Partner 1: SSH
Partner 2: 1st round – lunge walk down mosey back, round 2 bear crawl down mosey back, rinse and repeat
Thang 3: This is where a great song was planned on being played but will have to be forced into another beatdown in the future due to the lack of a consistent audio source.
Thinking quickly, the dice from YHC’s custom F3 Christmas present from his M were presented. Until time was called (about 8 minutes). The PAX alternated rolling the dice while Siri called out random numbers 1-30 for the amounts of the exercise printed on the dice.
COT and Lil Cuz prayed us out. Thankful for all the guys that came out and toughed it out in the rain this morning.
SYITG,
