2/22 seems like a great opportunity to do something numerically clever with exercises or reps or something.  I completely squandered it.  I’ll leave it to the “Elite 8” contenders for the March Madness Q championship to come up with clever schemes.   Today, we had 3 HIM’s show up to do some good solid work, and we stressed balance because that’s something we could do more of.  Here’s how it went:

Warm up with 10 SSH IC followed by 5 burpees. J2C joined a couple minutes late. Not to let him feel left out, we repeated the 5 burpees  before proceeding to the COP, 10 reps each of the following:
Perfect form merkins (OYO)
“Flamingo” air presses” (standing on one foot)
Nolan Ryans
“Flamingo” air presses” (standing on other foot)
Mountain climbers

We moseyed for a lap around the track then over to the benches.  This was supposed to be a 2-group routine, but with only 3 we all stayed together for an exercise followed by a mosey across the field and back:
Bulgarian split squats (10 each leg)
Scorpion merkins (10 each leg)
Reverse lunges (10 each leg)
Scorpion merkins (10 each leg)
Bulgarian split squats (10 each leg)

Next, we moseyed to the back parking lot for 5 more burpees and another round of COP, this time 15 reps each:
Perfect form merkins (OYO)
“Flamingo” air presses” (standing on one foot)
Nolan Ryans
“Flamingo” air presses” (standing on other foot)
Mountain climbers

After a quick 10-count, Apollo Ohno’s got us to the opposite end of the parking lot for “Pax choice.” I called for Mike Tysons while J2C ran to the end of the parking lot and back. J2C picked the next exercise while Tesla ran and so on. This seems simple but we managed to mess it up a couple times, somehow. I’ll blame it on being distracted by good fellowship and mumblechatter. After 3 or 4 rounds, it was time to mosey back to the flag for 5 more burpees and a final round of COP, 10 reps each:
Perfect form merkins (OYO)
“Flamingo” air presses” (standing on one foot)
Nolan Ryans while greeting Mrs. Breaker Breaker’s entrance to the school
“Flamingo” air presses” (standing on other foot)
Mountain climbers

I thought we’d have a minute or two left for Mary, but we finished up right on time.
