A cool crisp Autumn morning along the lake front of NOLA where 10 pax (none in yoga pants) showed up for a beatdown. Disclaimer given

Good mornings
YHC brought just enough rope for 10 pax – holding with 2 hands overhead we started at a walking pace then with a level of confidence picked it up to a slow mosey as we ascended the levee transitioning to an Indian run towards our destination that only YHC knew.
Once arrived we dropped the rope and descended the levee lining up along the bottom.
1771 – 1+7 up and over 7+1 up and over repeat with numbers ascending and descending now 2+6 up and over 6+2 continuing until there is a reverse order 7117 yet always added the total number of reps = 8
V-Ups and Jump Squats
So 1 VU + 7 JS then up and over 7 VP + 1 JS (or you could do 1JS + 7VU same thing). The reps change as outlined above always = 8
When pax finished we did Mary until the 6 joined and finished through the reps YHC had on his mind.
Then line up with the rope Indian run to the starting spot of the “H8”. 2 teams of 5 – race – as a group pax complete 5 hand release merkins run to the top of the levee cross over to center bear crawl across run down the other side to opposite side corner 5 more hand release merkins (these will be done at all corners) back up cross over bear crawl across the middle back down finishing HS merkins at the corners.
YHC had planned for a looser punishment yet it was skipped (some may say b/c YHC was on the loosing team yet there was a plan).
Align at the base of the levee – “7”
6 merkins 1 double under then 5 merkins 2 double under so on.
Now grab the rope for overhead mosey to the “house of pain” (this was our recovery)
Partner up – YHC did a bad job of assigning a rotation yet we seemed to figure it out.
Pull Ups
Dips
Incline Merkins
Timer – run to top of levee 2 burpees run down
Looking at the time YHC put in an old school “Okwata rite” – Quadrophilia! We only went 2 rounds which brought about some sad protest that YHC didn’t plan well enough for the full 4 minute effect…..this will be adjusted as arm circles won’t ever make a future beatdown of this YHC!
COT – be aware as to “lost sheep”. Are we in the 99 who should be encouraging and praying for the 1 or are we at times the 1?
