Complex Math

Leave a comment

16 at Minnow Pond for a test of speed and math skilz.
Simple loop around town, four stops
Stop 1 – COT – Merkins
Stop 2 – Pharmacy – LBCs
Stop 3 – Parking lot – SSHs
Stop 4 – Gazebo – Squats
Back to COT for lap 2
Rep count Lap 1 was 2 for everyone
Rep count Lap 2 was 4 for everyone
Rep count Lap 3 was 6 for everyone except the lead pax, 8 reps
additional laps: Lead Pax rep counts = 2 x prior lap reps
everyone else rep count = lap # x 2
Guys out front reach the 64 rep count based on the compounding.
Short lesson, compounding can be excellent when you are looking at saving money, over time it accumulates to a nice sum of money. On the other hand, when you have issues that go unchecked, they can result in a bigger problem down the road. Make sure you keep coming out, share what’s on your mind with your shield lock.

Run to opposite side parking lot of school for Dynamic Warmup:
– SSH x15
– IW (high) x15 => High Knee
– Seal Jacks x15
– Windmills x10 => Butt Kickers
– Merkins x10
– Dry Docks x10=> Shuffle L/R
– Low Slow Squat x20

The Thang:
Ran to the back of the school (near the bridge). Pax paired up and a foreman was selected to represent all pax. Each pair took turns working their way to a rep count (the pax not doing the exercise various stationary positions. Once all pairs done, a moving exercise (out-and-back) was done by everyone. Then, we started the next round. The details of each round are listed below.

The twist for April Fool’s day is that before the moving exercise, a true/false question was posed to the pax. If the foreman answered correctly, an “easy” out-and-back exercise was done. If incorrect, a difficult out-and-back exercise was drawn from the “bucket ‘o pain”.
