8 PAX in the gloom this am. One severe bloody nose from Macgyver, and one DR visitor from Memphis (after 10 years in Shanghai) – good to see you again, Thibodaux! While our esteemed walker (Tenderloin) and KOT (Scantron and Macgyver) wne to do their thing, the rest when to go find a rock.
Short warmup by the rocks, then head to the field. 4 PAX wated patiently wondering what happened to Mr. Rodgers. Several minutes later, he appeared from the dark, having apparently taken a wrong turn between the rock pile and the football field. First time for everything, I guess.
Thing 1: A timed test. Each rep was 5 Thursters, run to the cones, 2 burpees, run back. The timed test – how many reps in 5 minutes. Everyone got 7-8 in.
Thing 2: Cora – Dora’s friend, but only on Core exercises. 100 Sit Ups (with a rock), 200 Peter Parkers, 300 Flutter Kicks (with a rock). The timer – lunge walk to the cones (25 yards away) then run back. Quite a time killer (more than YHC expected), and the quads and hammies were starting to burn. Pool Boy set the Sit Up pace – nice work!
Only had a minute or 2 to spare – so a quick Bear Crawl to the cones, and Crab Walk back.
Then the timed test repeat: Same thing we did for the first test – but get further than the first time, or pay a 10 burpee penalty. All 5 PAX made it a wee bit further. Handy-G made it from 7.9 to 8.1 reps (in his precise math).
Return the rocks, and back to the flag for COT. Apologies, PAX, for the confusion about what “in cadence” and “go further” meant. Those phrases seemed obvious to YHC, but apparently are less than obvious to the PAX.
