1 step forward 2 steps back

8 pax posted to Midoriyama on Thursday night for a little fun and games. YHC listened and learned from last years QvQ challenge. The PAX like games in their workouts. I took a note from Shortsale’s book and we got after it.

Warmup:

Blah blah blah

The Thang:

In the long parking lot starting at one end. The idea was to try and make it to the other end. With a deck of cards we would draw a card and do the reps per the face value with each suit being an exercise. Just like any other time we use cards. Dimaonds=merkins, Hearts=WWI’s, Spades=Squats, and Spades =burpees. After doing the reps we then would bearcrawl that many spaces forward. So for example a 10 of diamonds we would do 10 merkins then bearcrawl 10 spaces forward. Once there we draw another card. Except this time we have to bearcrawl backwards that many spaces. So if the first card was a 10 and the next card is a 6 we would end up being 4 spaces forward of where we started. This really confused the Dr’s and Accountants in the crowd. We did this back and forth slowly inching our way forward in the parking lot. Eventually we switched the backwards movement to suicide sprints. Some believed we’d never get anywhere but we finished about a third of the way through the parking lot so we would have been up against the house if we were betting. All in all this kept us guessing and moving a lot. Which seems to be a problem for some. I guess they confused this with a 2nd F event. If you’re gonna mummblechatter you gotta be able to exercise at the same time!

COT:

Pledge

Partner Work?

I can’t believe it’s almost been a whole week before writing this the weasel shaker might come for me soon. I planned what I thought would be at least the first 30 minutes of the workout but with 8 solid HIMs joining me it was more like 20 minutes. This is what I remember since I kind of made this one up on the fly.

Pledge

Warmup in the Bunker
Seal Jacks x11 IC
Squats x11 IC
Toy Soldiers x11 IC
Stretches

Partner up and stay in Bunker for lazy DORA. Partner 1 would work while partner 2 planked, switch when needed or evenly OYO.
50 WWI, 100 merkins, 150 squats. Enough of that mess.

Mosey long way to parking lot across Pita Wheel. Dodge so leftover trash from Friday night festivities and get to work.
Partner booya triple nickel. Partners run to opposite ends of parking lot and perform 5 CDDs, meet back in the middle for 5 booya merkins do that x5.

We were headed to the track but someone, I think Watts Up, mentioned that a better less used parking lot was closer. Head there for some more DORA.
100 hand release merkins, 200 calf raises, and 300 LBC. Run outside of parking lot.

This is where it gets a little fuzzy. We ran to behind some building for some Mary of core work. Left there and headed to the Yank where there are some lit Christmas trees and a great spot for some half pipe lead by none other than Tesla. Don’t remember the exercises called but there were 2 burpees every time we crossed the middle. Finished that and made it to the statue for a few more exercises to finish.

Time.

Announcements:
Sargento’s beer mile 12-30 11:00?, bring light beer.
