I was excited to see several cars at Pelicans as I pulled in for my 2nd-ever appearance at The Labyrinth.  I was thinking the Site-Q swap between Maybelline and me (advertised on Slack as a “mystery guest Q” both here and at The Ricky Bobby, though it was no mystery to anyone paying attention) had generated excitement across the region.  EZ Rider and Winehouse were ready to go, but Flintstone and Whoopee were MIA.

At 0530 the beatdown commenced with a warmup of SSH, Imperial walkers, and Nolan Ryans (10xIC).  In the middle of these, Bullwinkle joined us, so we did 5 burpees (just for the hell of it) and moved on to the main event.

We started on the wall of Pelican’s with Dirty Hookups (10xIC).  Even though the wall felt flimsy and rickety, almost like wet cardboard, we made it through these plus a wall-sit and hip slappers (10xIC).  After that, we moseyed over to the parking lot at Martha’s House for Team Dora.  Team 1 (Winehouse and I) worked while Team 2 (EZ Rider and Bullwinkle) went to the next island and back.  Exercises were:
– Hand-release merkins
– Reverse lunges
– Flutter kicks

We did 3 cycles with the following instead of moseying:
– Round 1:  Nur there, mosey back
– Round 2:  Carioca facing the ball fields
– Round 3:  Carioca facing the parking lot

Next we moseyed to the center of the fields and found walls much sturdier than those at Pelican’s, so we repeated the dirty hookups (10xIC), wall sit, and hip slappers (10xIC).  Then with 17 minutes to go, I explained the instructions for “Boo-yah 11s:”
– Partners Nur to opposite light poles.
– 10 burpees
– Mosey back to middle.
– 1 “Boo-yah” merkin
– Proceed as standard for 11s (9/2, 8/3, etc.)

I thought we could finish these, but I was mistaken unfortunately (or fortunately, according to EZ Rider).   After the round of 5 burpees (or maybe 6, I can’t remember), we moseyed back to Pelicans for COT.
