9 faithful PAX gathered in the gloom to sweat and inspect the Goat Island bridge in excruciating detail. Warmup breakfast of merkins, imperial walkers, Freddy Mercury’s, mountain climbers and prayer squats, then mosey over for the pledge at the flag on one of the light posts in patriotic Cramerton. Mosey across the street to start the party.
The Thang
The format was a split – half exercising, half running and exercising. Divided into pairs, one teammate runs across the bridge and to the cornhole boards, then performs an exercise on the other side. The other teammate performs 10/20/30 reps of the exercises for that round. Rounds were as follows:
Round 1
Teammate 1: 10 burpees/20 Carolina dry docks/30 lbc then plank until the other returns
Teammate 2: Run across the bridge, touch the cornhole boards, run back.
Round 2
Teammate 1: 10 knees to chest jump (this needs a name)/20 spider man merkins/30 hip raises (also needs a name).
Teammate 2: 10 inverted rows hanging from the swings across the bridge.
Round 3
Teammate 1: 10 burpees/20 lunges (10 per leg)/30 freddie mercury’s. Al Gore until teammate returns
Teammate 2: 10 pull ups using playground equipment across the bridge. Negative pullups when we ran out of gas.
Pause for a plank break, right arm up (right leg option), left arm up (left leg option). Then, back to the task at hand:
Round 4
Teammate 1: 10 turkish get-ups/20 plank jacks/30 flutter kicks (per leg)
Teammate 2: 15 box jumps on a picnic table across the bridge.
Round 5
Teammate 1: 10 burpees/20 imperial walkers/30 SSH
Teammate 2: Run to the cornhole boards and back
Mosey back to the lot for COT. Work was easy after this one.
