Late Q, late backblast

One of the worst feelings is rolling over and seeing the clock say 5:10 and you’re supposed to Q starting at 5. Quick decision that something was better than nothing, throw some clothes on and sprint out the door. Thankfully Divac had extra gear and put the PAX in motion. When YHC showed up we rucked around the front school loop stopping for some squats, merkins, curls and OH presses. The plan was 8 rounds of: 8 sandbag over the shoulders, 8 ruck pull throughs w/merkins, 8 curls, and 8 V-ups w/ruck OH. On odd rounds sprint to left fence then jog back. On even rounds OH carry to right fence then suitcase carry back. Due to YHC being late we didn’t get through all rounds. But times up back to COT. Thx Divac. Next time I won’t be late!

Just a little spritz

WARMUP: Short yog around the campus ending up under one of the overhangs. PAX seemed happy to be out of the ‘spritz’.
THE THANG: Partner up and start with Lazy Dora. 100 Merkins, 200 LBCs, 300 Squats.
>P1 does 10 Merkins while P2 holds plank then swap and continue swapping until 100 total.
>P1 does 20 LBCs while P2 holds 6″ leg hold then swap and continue swapping until 200 total.
>P1 does 25 squats while P2 holds Al Gore then swap and continue swapping until 300 total.
Light yog around bus loop to central overhang area.
Who’s the King? Every minute on the minute. Start with 1 burpee and 20 shoulder taps (L+R=1). Each minute add one burpee, same # of shoulder taps. Rest time is whatever time you have left in the 60 seconds. Keep going until you can’t get everything done in the 60 seconds. As Cyclops is fond of saying…this one escalated quickly. If you can’t complete the round then you’re out and you do 5 burpees and 20 SSHs. A few made it through round 8 but no one started 9.
Quick 10 count then move to back lot. 4 rounds of the following: 10 jump squats, 10 plank jacks, 10 bomb jacks, run a lap. Back to the overhang for some Mary: boxcutters, flutters, protractors, and LBCs. Recover, recover. Back to COT.
Great work by the PAX today. I appreciate everyone for coming out in the spritz.
