PAX at El Diablo: Bogey, Bolt, Hand Grenada, Rev Sox, Vagabond, and Fast Tax
Not to be swayed by a little water and mud, 6 pax ventured forth to El Diablo to embrace the SUCK and see what Fast Tax had up his sleeve this time. It was quickly pointed out that I was 45 seconds late, so disclaiming while moseying, we headed to the rock pile.
Warmups consisted of:
o Abe Bagodas
o Matt Biondis
o Mountain Man Poopers
o Star Jacks
o Swan Dives
o Australian Snow Angels
Though Vagabond was hoping we would be heading to the parking lot that would have been waaaay too clean…to the field of puddles we go.
The first exercise was Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, starting on the goal line with your rock. Each pax performed the following sequence OYO: Squat, double arm shotput rock, broad jump toward rock, lunge the remaining distance and repeat the sequence until you got to the 40ish yard line. After a 20 sec breather, we repeated the exercise back to the goal line. One of us may have “accidentally” thrown his rock in the very large mud puddle by Rev Sox’s feet…oops.
Red Barchetta was the next event (would have been done to the musical accompaniment of Rush’s 1981 hit – Red Barchetta if the Q remembered to bring his phone)
Sequence OYO no resting:
o 100 yard dash, 100 SSH, run back to goal line
o 75 yard dash, 75 mountain climbers, run back to goal line
o 50 yard dash, 50 LBCs, run back to goal line
o 25 yard dash, 25 merkins, run back to goal line
The festivities on the field culminated with the Rapid Fire Rock Set.
Set of 20 curls, overhead press, triceps extensions, and rows all with rock, IC, and fast paced. Repeat – 15 reps then 10 reps.
With Bogey lamenting that Rudy was not here to enjoy the festivities (and the mud), we moseyed back to the rock pile to drop our rocks.
After determining pax were not muddy enough (and time remaining) Q introduced the Welsh Dragons: Bear crawl forward 4 steps, do 1 burpee, 1 merkin, and tap the BACK of each shoulder 1 time. Repeat adding 1 rep to each exercise each time – bear crawl forward 4 steps, do 2 burpees, 2 merkins, 2 sets of back of shoulder taps… etc., repeating until we covered about 40 feet.
Light stretch and head back to flag for countoff, name-a-rama, announcements, and prayers.
