I rolled into the center of town with just a couple minutes to spare and all the parking spaces had cones in them. So I parked on the side street and had to run up to get started just in time. No FNGs so standard disclaimer given. The 13 of us then moseyed down to The Bunker for the warm up.

Imperial Walkers – 20 IC

The Thang
We moseyed over to Hawthorn and counted off by 4s which gave us three in each group. Group two headed up the hill to the to of the Hawthorne loop with instructions to AMRAP merkins until the runners get to them. Group three was sent up to where Hawthorn loops back to McLeod to AMRAP squats until runners get to them. Once the two groups were in place group one started LBSs and group four started running up the hill. When the group of runners reached the next group the runners would start assigned exercise and that group would run. Each group got to workout at each station three times. This loop was a bit longer than I remembered so I nixed doing a second round with different exercises.
Mosey back to the fence overlooking the Bunker to perform monkey humpers for HIPPA who was there by himself. He immediately reciprocated by performing monkey humpers for us.
Knowing the the Extinction Run was starting an hour after the end of bootcamp I had planned to spend the last half of bootcamp with the Deck of Death with no running. HIPPA decided to join the circle for this. Using a standard deck of cards each suit was assigned an exercise. For six through 10 do that number of reps. For Jack – Ace, do 10 reps. The fun part was for any duces through five we did that number of burpees. The card drawer called out the cadence. Here were the exercise assignments:
Clubs – CDDs
Diamonds – Merkins
Spades – LBCs in cadence
Hearts – Flutters in cadence
HIPPA left the music playing which helped the time pass a little faster and drowned out a bit of the mublechatter over the burpees! And at times there was confusion on whether we were calling for CDDs or LBCs.
We got a little more than halfway through the deck and it was time to head to the Fighting Yank!
Pledge of Allegiance.
