48°F, 3mph NE wind (feels like 38°F when you’re wet with sweat), 70% humidity
PAX were a mix of anxious warriors and confused early risers who mistook this for a yoga class… and an FNG
Warm-O-Rama:
Windmills: 10 reps, which started with a demonstration to which Frac said ‘even little kids know how to do windmills’
Grass Grabbers: 10 reps, which did not start with a demonstration, to which Frac said ‘why aren’t you demonstrating’, but then he attempted to touch the grass but just bent forward and looked like a confused flamingo
Peter Parker Peters: 20 reps
Tie Fighters: 10 reps count up, 10 reps count down
Back on your face for a Mayhem special (I think it is new to all, and I think it will stick): Hip Slap Shoulder Tap Merkins, it is a 10-count exercise, 10 reps
Thang 1: Snake the Bleachers with Some Mary
Time to snake up and down the bleachers. But since we’re in F3, we added some Mary in between. 15 BB, half the bleachers, 15 V-ups, half the bleachers, 15 BB, half the bleachers, 15 V-ups, half the bleachers, 15 BB. 10ish bonus burpees for Kilo for finishing first.
Thang 2: Sevens with Motivators-Burpees
Start with 6 motivators and 1 burpee then 5 motivators and 2 burpees and so on.
Motivator: full SSH, star hop, leg only, and a bunny hop
Thang 3: BLIMPS
This is when things really started getting… interesting. Blimps are just a nice way of saying “burpee but with a little extra ‘why did I do this to myself’ factor.”
Rd1- 20 each (burpee, lunge, imperial walker, merkin, plank jack, squat) at each cone, with mode of transportation being bear crawl (of course), then mosey to midfield cone and back to start
Rd2- 10 each, with mode of transportation duck walk (Triple not present to demonstrate proper form), then mosey to midfield cone and back to start
Rd3- 5 each, but in the form of shuttle runs to each of the 6 cones then mosey to midfield cone and back to start
But wait, there’s more…
Thang 4: Ring of Fire
We ended with the classic Ring of Fire. Three rounds. Al Gore to squats. Plank to merkins. Al Gore to burpees. The “fire” quickly turned into “fire in my quads.”
Bogey enjoyed this beat down so much he claimed I stole his script for his upcoming Q on Monday.
COT:
We circled up, not to share deep philosophical musings, but to recover from the sheer trauma of the last 45 minutes and to get to know and name our FNG. Welcome, Yellboy! Kudos to Kilo for EH’ing. If Yellboy is half as committed as Kilo then we got ourselves another great PAX.
Prayers for Boo Boo’s sister-in-law, Leigh Whitman’s family and Pai Gow’s father.
Great to lead and try new things!
Sign up to Q!
Make it a point to EH this year!
