Masters Party at Dawn Patrol

A tradition unlike any other…The Masters. This time of year is one of my favorites. The weather starts to turn warmer. The trees and flowers start to bloom. People start coming outside of their homes. And the NCAA tournament concludes right into my favorite sporting event of the year, the Masters. With this in mind, I thought I would prepare a Weinke inspired by the tournament. I borrowed some of this from Warning Track and others via reviewing their backblasts.

Weather – chilly 39 degrees at launch

Mosey to the “tee box”

In honor of the Masters, we played the front 9 holes revealing the name of each hole, the yardage and par. Pax chose the club necessary for the shots based on the following criteria:

  • Woods including Driver – 10 merkins
  • Long Irons – 10 jump squats
  • Short Irons – 10 Big Boys

When arriving on the green, Pax were given the following options:

  • 2 Putt – # of burpees for par
  • Birdie – no burpees but must answer a trivia question correctly
  • Bogey – penalty if a trivia question was missed which equated to twice the amount of burpees

#1 Tea Olive – 495 yards Par 4
#2 Pink Dogwood – 575 yards Par 5
#3 Flowering Peach – 350 yards Par 4
#4 Flowering Crab Apple – 240 yards Par 3
#5 Magnolia – 495 Yards Par 4
#6 Juniper – 180 Yards Par 3
#7 Pampas – 450 Yards Par 4
#8 Yellow Jasmine – 570 Yards Par 5
#9 Carolina Cherry – 460 Yards Par 4

Had to cut it short after 8 holes but the Pax were even par with 3 birdies, 3 bogeys and 3 pars.

ZigZag Cones – CSPAN Style

WARMUP:
Super-G had the warmup. Quick mosey to one of the many lots at Dawn Patrol. Some SSH, merkins, Moroccan nightclubs, windmills, and maybe a few others, this old man can't remember.

THE THANG:
Pax partnered up, so doesn't matter. Mosey to a back-corner of a parking lot where cones were set up for pax to run through. The plan was, partner 1 does a moving exercise through the cones while partner 2 did a stationary exercise, then flap-jack. First part of the cone course was a nur. Exercises were:

  1. LBCs –> lunges
  2. American Hammer–>bunny hops
  3. Peter Parkers –> karaoke
  4. Hello Dollys –> backwards lunges
  5. Flutters –> toy soliders
  6. Imperial Walkers–> broad jumps
  7. Bombjacks —> shuffle
  8. Low Plank –> butt kickers (2x)
  9. Wheezy Jefferson –> high knees (2x)
  10. Box Cutters –> bear crawls

It was a Friday… this Friday… at slow burn

WARMUP: ssh, windmill, imp walkers, Peter Parker’s, all in cadence. Mixed in some up and down dogs
THE THANG: there was a list of 6 assignments taped to the empire pizza end and the Persis end of the building near cot. Each assignment consisted of one or more exercises, with counts of each to complete. The pax started at one end of the building and did assignment 1, then moseyed to the other end of the building to complete assignment 1 down there. The pax would then mosey back to the original location to complete assignment 2 on that list. This patterns continues. Halfway through each run between ends, the pax would stop for 15 dips (180 in total across the entire workout). Once all six assignments were completed. We finished the last one with the 6 and moseyed back to COT
MARY: we got a few rounds in including freddys, penguins, shakiras, and gas pumpers among others
