Checking the schedule Monday, I realized I was without a Q for the Abyss. Whoops. No one to blame but myself, so looks like I am calling my own number.

With all the running and rucking activities these days, I find bootcamps are few and far between. But I love nothing more that a strong morning bootcamp beatdown to start the day. So that is what the Pax got this morning. I took all the pent up bootcamp energy I had been saving and wrote up a wienke I thought would challenge the Pax.

When 5:15 arrived, we had 13 Pax ready to work. We started with a mosey through the parking lot with some dynamic stretching thrown in (side-shuffle, karoake, toy soldiers, butt kickers & high knees). (T-Claps for Flea for being in the front of the Pax for the mosey. He continues to get stronger with every workout.) We circled up in the back parking lot for COP:

• SSH x25
• 5 Burpees
• Moroccan NC x30
• 4 Burpees
• Imperial Walkers X15
• 3 Burpees
• Low Slow Squat x10
• 2 Burpees
• Hillbilly Walkers x15
• 1 Burpee
• Mountain Climbers
• Slow Merkin
• Honeymooner/Down Dog
• Plank Jacks

With the Pax ready we moseyed to the side of the school for some wall work.

• Peoples Chair while each Pax does 2 Burpees
• Peoples Chair while each Pax does 5 Diamond Merkins
• Peoples Chair while each Pax Bear Crawls to curb and back

From there we moseyed to the bottom of the hill across from the school for The Thang:

I promised the Pax we were going to break things down and build them back up. So we started by breaking down the Burpee.

2 Squat Jumps
2 Plank w\ Hip Touch
2 Merkins
2 Froggers
2 Squat Jumps

Run Hill 4 times.

4 Squat Jumps
4 Plank w\ Hip Touch
4 Merkins
4 Froggers
4 Squat jumps

Run Hill 3 times.

6 Squat Jumps
6 Plank w\ Hip Touch
6 Merkins
6 Froggers
6 Squat jumps

Run Hill 2 times.

8 Squat Jumps
8 Plank w\ Hip Touch
8 Merkins
8 Froggers
8 Squat jumps

Run Hill 1 time.

10 Squat Jumps
10 Plank w\ Hip Touch
10 Merkins
10 Froggers
10 Squat jumps

But once you break something down it needs to be built back up. So after a couple ten counts we switched to burpees.

• 5 Burpees
• 4 Hill Runs
• 3 Burpees
• 2 Hill Runs
• 1 Burpee
• 1 Hill Run

Couple more ten counts then we headed to the front parking lot with 5 minutes left to go. Instead of Ab lab, I went with my new favorite, Cover and Move. We partnered up and completed this across the parking lot. Then headed to COP.

It was a great push by all the Pax. There was no quit in anyone.
