WARMUP: a little bit
THE THANG: some stuff
MARY: not really
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter
COT: yep
WARMUP: SSH while we gathered everyone to get the party started. Then took off for a short mosey over to the flags. Windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins. Then ran to the back of the school.
THE THANG: we setup the DJ station for some 90s jams. Stating point was by the gym where the picnic tables were at and we would do 1 exercise, run to the end of the parking lot where the orange cones are normally at, then back to the music for the following exercise, reading left to right and then progressing down. But 1 exercise, then run every time. I think 2.5 miles were got or close to, and the kings were somewhere down to the jump squats.
10 burpees (30 seconds Al Gore)
15 diamonds (30 monkey humpers)
20 hand release (50 calf raises)
25 wide arm (50 flutters)
30 merkins (40 step ups total)
35 rangers (25 incline merkins)
40 carolina dry docs (30 hammers)
45 plank jacks (30 sec wall sit)
50 mountain climber (50 LBC)
60 shoulder taps (25 jump squat)
90 sec plank (25 decline merkins)
MARY: didn’t happen today
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter and shovel flag handoff to Halfback!! Congrats!
COT: love these guys and the support they give each of us!
With no announcement as to the Q for the day as of the afternoon of the night before, which is unusual for <@U02679GQ1AT>, but becoming very usual for The Fort overall, I mentioned casually that I would just take it. So, Barkley dared me to. No, I don’t know exactly why, but here we are. It made me think of this as a Reverse Flick. In what may be the most famous scene from the movie A Christmas Story, Schwartz dares Flick to stick his tongue to the frozen flagpole on the playground. He throws all convention out the door and skips the Triple Dare and does right for the Triple Dog Dare. Which, as we all know, must be completed for fear of ever tarnishing a man’s reputation. In the case of the Colosseum, well, the roles were reversed and the metaphorical Flick (Barkley) dared Schwartz. Look, no one reads these except <@UGU3XR5RP> anyway, and it’s a weird place up in my head… so I’m just documenting all this for evidence when my wife finally has me committed. She’ll need a preponderance of evidence that I am, in fact, not quite right. This will help.
I decided to “play all the hits” of the Colosseum for our workout, explained in slightly more detail below. But again, as we all know that these are written primarily for the stats, I won’t bother with large amounts of detail.
WARMUP:
I’m sure I did some really slow windmills and stuff
THE THANG:
– Light poles to the end (before the right turn to go up the hill)
– Stop at each pole for 5 merkins
– Head up the hill
– Stop at intersections for 15 (double count) flutters
– Down hill
– Stop at intersections again for 15 LBCs
– Run to back to the wall
– Far side of lot – bear crawl to the wall, over the wall 5 burpees, over the wall, crawl bear back
– Bottom of the hill, grab a rock
– Overhead presses and curls
– Up the hill
– Stopping at light posts for 10 jump squats
– Down hill
– Stopping at light posts for 5 lunges each leg

THE THANG: mosey to the the hill
An exercise was called in cadence at every light pole – at varying numbers of reps – YHC called sprint and pax sprinted to the next light pole. This took place to the top of the hill and then back down – a total of 20 light poles were “visited”. PAX took turns calling exercises on the way down. Leadership is best when shared.
Mosey back to basketball courts with a combo of lunge walks and bear crawls across.
