Trading mental mistakes for Burpees

YHC hasn’t been to the Mothership in awhile, and it was great to see 17 eager Pax ready to join in some pre-Crazy Ivan activity. First thing was the disclaimer, followed by a shout out to the Freedom Hammer, an honored prize from last year versus the North Shore.

Mosey to the Great Lawn, taking the long way, circle up for the warmup

SSH IC x 31
Hillbillies IC x 20
Grass Grabbers IC x 10
Arm Circles x 20
Peter Parker IC x 15
Mountain Climber IC x 15
Parker Peter IC x 15

Have the Pax count off and remember their number…..for later

Mosey to a long side of the Great Lawn for BLIMPS:
Burpees x 5
Lunges (each leg) x 10
Imperial Walkers x 15
Merkins x 20
Plank Jacks x 25
Squats x 30

Continue until the lunges take you to the other side, each Pax completed 3 cycles. 15 Burpees so far…..

Mosey to the cones set up on the Great Lawn for suicides:
The cones are set up like a basketball court.
Sprint to quarter line and back – 5 merkins
Sprint to half and back – 5 merkins
sprint to three quarter line and back – 5 merkins
sprint full court and back – 5 merkins

Next up was involving the cones again:
Start at baseline and Burpee broad jump to quarter line, then bear crawl to half line, then peter Parker to three quarter line, then bear crawl to end.
Note: bear crawl and PP are similar yet different…..

Pax averaged 4 burpees, so 19 so far….

Next up was a mental exercise to test the Pax when tired:
YHC asks two pax for their number, say 5 and 12. We count SSH IC to 5 and complete 12 in silence, on YHC’s SSH. If all pax stop at the same time, we’re done. If any pax continue counting or fail to stop at 12, a penalty is administered.

First penalty administered:
SSH IC x 5
10 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5
9 Burpees OYO

Back to the mental test. Let’s say it was 3 and 11. Result? Next penalty was administered:
SSH IC x 5
8 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5
7 Burpees OYO

Back to the mental test, and onto the next penalty….gotta stop when YHC stops!
SSH IC x 5
6 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5
5 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5
4 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5
3 Burpees OYO
SSH IC x 5
2 Burpees OYO

One more chance for Pax to get it right: but one pax started counting during silent count…..
Penalty followed….
SSH IC x 5
11 Burpees OYO…surely some Pax anticipated 1 Burpee….
That was 65 more burpees, for 84 total

Back to the cones for more suicides:
5 Burpees, complete a full set of suicides like before, end with 5 burpees.

That’s 10 more, so 94 total. If YHC has been counting, 6 more would have made it in…..

A little Mary:
LBC’s IC x 20
Flutter kicks IC x 20
American Hammer IC x 10

Belloq, Willie, and Gabrielle take us out with some stretches…..

Mosey back to the Shovel flag for COT:

Count off, name-o-rama, announcements, intentions and closed out a prayer to the Sky Q.
Name-o-Rama included the freedom hammer being passed around! South shore looks to hold the prized hammer for another year!

SYITG!!
