So after a last minute exit from Chowdah for his VQ, YHC decided to step up and take the Q. After planting the shovel flag in what was unusually hard dirt and the usual disclaimer, we were off.
Mosey to the Kick-Ball Field in front of Audubon Zoo for Warm-Up:
- Imperial Walkers X 20
- Arm Circles Forward X15
- Arm Circles Reverse X15
- Hillibillies X20
Next, short mosey to Soccer Field for:
- 4 Corners – B.O.M.B.S – Modified (You’ll figure out why shortly)
- First Corner – 5 Burpees
- Defensive Drills R/L to
- Second Corner – 10 OH Presses
- Crab Walk to
- Third Corner – for Modification #1 – 15 Monkey Humpers
- Backward Run to
- Fourth Corner – 20 Big Boy Sit Ups/Rower Sit Ups (PAX choice)
- Bear Crawl
- Back to First Corner for Modification #2 – 25 Side-Plank Leg Raises split between right and left sides
- First Corner – 5 Burpees
This was so fun, Rinse and Repeat!
Mosey to Shelter for:
- The Cooper
- 10 Burpees
- 10 Merkins
- 10 Squats
- Run 1 lap from shelter to track and back (approx. 400M)
- Decrease by 1 until done
Now you know why YHC decided to modify the merkins and squats out of the B.O.M.B.S. You’re welcome PAX!
Now the above routine seems pretty straightforward and not that difficult. Apparently not with 90 degree heat and what seemed like 110% humidity. The Cooper should be renamed the Mumblechatter-Killer because it was pretty quiet amongst the PAX once we really got going.
As we continued in our endeavor to get to the end of this never-ending routine, YHC realized not all the PAX would have time to complete. So, modify! YHC decided to announce that we would call it when the PAX leaders (I’m looking at you Douille, El Wire, Mariah and a few others) finished all their rounds. Apparently, those same leaders misheard me and thought YHC said we would finish when they completed their CURRENT round. You can imagine my amazement when I pulled into the shelter with a group of PAX waiting for YHC for the next THANG. Of course, I quickly explained that we still had several minutes to go and let’s get to it. Que collective groan. Off we went for more rounds! Lucky for the PAX we did run out of time so YHC called it. That Cooper was something else.
Mosey back to the Flag for Count-Off, Name-o-rama, Announcements, Intentions and Prayer. Special thanks to all who attended and helped put on the F2 Picnic on Saturday. A great F2 event.
Thanks PAX for letting me lead! What a great group of #HIM.
