Arrived at the Snake Pit at 0505hrs to a steady down pour of rain. Noticed that a couple of vehicles were unoccupied, but a couple of vehicles still had PAX sitting inside, most likely contemplating how they got in this situation.

Deconstructed Burpee Ladder

– SSH
– WM
– IW
– MNC
– Strawberry pickers
Then mosey not too far from COT for….
THE THANG:
Ladder of Deconstructed Burpees
A loop of .25 mile was set up, the same one we used as a warmup.
Do the exercises, then run the loop. The idea was in each round, you do an exercise that is part of the standard burpee.

Ascending ladder (run a lap between each round)
Round 1: 1 burpee + 10 hand-touch squats
Round 2: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions
Round 3: 3 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions + 10 merkins
Round 4: 4 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions + 10 merkins + 10 jump squats w OH clap
Descending the ladder (run a lap between each round)
>> Take off 1 burpee and 1 exercise
Round 5: 3 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions + 10 merkins
Round 6: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions
Round 7: 1 burpee + 10 hand-touch squats
>> Rinse and repeat

Everyone got 2 full completions of this, and completed another full ascension. Some started on another descension and completed that too. Overall everyone, except me, got at least 3 miles. Good push by everyone.
MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mentioned some of the things in the newsletter. Read it. Get involved.
