Midoriyama Afloat

I’ll be the first to tell you I was not looking forward to Qing after a day spent hanging out with the family inside because of the rain, rain, rain!  But I told my M when she asked, “that’s why you Q, it holds you accountable”!  The rain kept coming as I drove to Midoriyama but as often happens God decided to give us a break for about 45 minutes!  Seven PAX showed to work off some Christmas day vittles and get better.

The Thang:  A quick (well kind of) warmup of 60 second circle.  Gumby’s counting trickery was soon foiled by Gavel and his keen mastery of numbers!  Next we mosied to the shelter to escape the rain I thought would be present.  A round of what I called Dirty Down & Backs, kind of like Dirty 11s but since the shelter was rather short, I called lunge-walks down 1 burpee then bear-crawls back 2 burpees and so forth until we got to 11 burpees.  Next was something I called Flip-Flops.  1 partner counted LBCs up to 25 while the other counted down 25 squats.  Next it was “Merry Christmas”!  We each grabbed a spot at a picnic table & started doing step-ups until a PAX called “Merry Christmas”, then we switched to merkins until they called Happy New Year”!   Finally, we mosied back to the flag & TIME!
