  • PAX: J2C, Kool Aid

Right as I planted the shovel flag, J2C’s car alarm blasted out in the Gloom as if to signal it was time to start the beatdown.  Then Kool Aid pulled up in a classic 70s gold convertible.  Gold was one of the theme colors of this workout to celebrate the College World Series champion LSU Tigers.  At 0530 we got started with light stretching then SSH, Hillbilly walkers, arrows, and Nolan Ryans (10xIC each).  Moseyed halfway around the track for The Thang.

LSU’s path to CWS victory went through Tennessee and Wake Forest, so we did 11s with V-ups (for the Vols) at one end of the field and “Demon Derkins” (derkins followed by shoulder tap) at the bleachers.  After 11s we completed our lap around the track and ended back at the front of the school.  LSU faced Florida in the best-of-3 CWS finals.  Florida scored 31 runs in those 3 games, so we did 31 Alligator Merkins.  Then we did 26 Tiger squats for the 26 runs that LSU scored, plus 57 each of Lbc’s and Step-Ups.

With lots of time left and cleverness running out, I asked for help from the PAX on a Triple Nickel.  J2C chose imperial walkers, and Kool Aid called Mike Tysons.  After that, we finished up with 3 tough minutes of Mary.
