The PAX met in howling winds this beautiful gloom, the ground saturated from the evening rain. #Mumblechatter that Jingle Vader is tougher (or crazier, you can decide) than the rest because he wore a “three-ply” t-shirt and shorts. With the wind swirling around us, eleven of NOLA’s finest started west to warm up.
Mosey to the quad (parking lot): COP
Side Shuffle Hops
Imperial Walkers
Single leg (SL) Deadlifts (slow)
Lateral Lunge (alternate)
Cross Fit Merkins
Plank Jacks
Line up for:
Leg raise hamstring stretch walks
Butt kicks
Indian Run Down Calhoun to Freret and the Tulane Armory Pull-Up Bars
The PAX broke up into three groups of three and one group of two for two rounds of:
Burpees (Round 1 – 10 rep pace / Round 2 – 5 rep pace)
Merkins
Pull ups
LBCs
Mosey to Wolf Pack Mountain
Short on time, the PAX assaulted the staircase and planked up. Football cornerback drills followed. The PAX lined up for a series of exercises and sprints. They performed each exercise for approximately 10 yards and then seamlessly transitioned (#itsallinthehips) into a 10 yard sprint (cut short by the gigantic puddle at the peak of the mountain).
Round One: Carioca (each direction) to sprint
Round Two: Low Squat Side Shuffle (each direction) to sprint
Round Three: Low Squat Back Pedal to sprint
Jingle Vader counted down from twenty and the PAX enjoyed six minutes of merry:
LBCs (IC 20x)
Jack Knifes (OYO alternate arm/leg v-up – 10x each side)
Side Plank with twist (OYO 10x each side)
Standard elbow front plank (1min)
Mosey back to the Flag
Count down (11), Name O Rama, shout outs, and prayer.
VQ complete #coldwetandtired.
