YHC arrived in the gloom to no awaiting vehicles around 5:20, noticing that it was a little cooler than yesterday. About 5:22 a familiar minivan driven by an older gentleman we call Yankee Joe pulled into the Stage. As 5:30 quickly approached it seem that it would be just the two of us for what was prepared to be a TuesdayTuff™©® day. This seemed to be no problem for Yankee Joe as he excitedly waited for what was to come.
Warmup:
To be honest, YHC did a few extra warmups this morning to delay the difficulty that was quickly approaching.
SSH, AC, Cherry Pickers, Windmills, Grass Grabbers, Self-Love, IW, Mountain Climbers
Thang 1: Merkin Mile (25 Merkins every .25 miles)
Upon beginning the Merkin mile, Yankee Joe acknowledged that this was his first Merkin mile. Glad to have been alongside for the first one, YJ.
Thang 2: The Ladder
Each exercise to be completed back-to-back OYO in climbing the ladder. Took a 10 count (or 2) at the top and then worked our way back down as follows:
5 – 8 Count Body Builders
10 – Burpees
25 – Merkins
50 – Squats
75 – Mountain Climbers (1 is 1)
100 – SSH
75 – LBCs
50 – Calf Raises
25 – Freak Nasty’s
10 – Irkins
5 – Donkey Kicks
Thang 3: Dice of death
Had Siri pick a number between 1-20 then rolled the 3 dice; performed the exercises on all three to the number from Siri. Then Siri chose 1-15 followed by a dice roll, then 1-10, and finally 1-5.
This proved to be more difficult than it sounds as Siri chose higher numbers than hoped as well as the dice seemed to know we needed more by providing many burpees and many more merkins.
Finished with a minute and a half of Freddie Mercuries
COT and Yankee Joe prayed us out. Great one on one time forcing us to push each other without the ability to hide in the crowd.
SYITG,
Enron
