Stole from Dojo

It was raining, so we ran straight for the Lowe’s Contractor covering.

WARMUP:
Standard fare of SSH, IW, Hillbilly Walkers, Butt Kickers, High Knees, etc, then loop around Lowe’s

THE THANG:
This was stolen from Dojo just the day before (done at DawnPatrol). Kind of a modified ring of fire.

Set up 6 cones near edges of the covering with a single cone in the center. On each perimeter cone was an exercise and count. Pax had to run to a cone, do the exercise and count, then bear crawl back to the center cone and do Burpees. The number of Burpees was based on how many stations they had been to (starting with 1, working up to 6 when all cones were visited).

Once all done with all cones, we ran another lap around Lowe’s

Rinse and repeat, but with 2nd set of cones (under he first set).

Just a few minutes left for Rugby Sprints, then return to COT.

Thanks to PeachStand for the chance to lead.

How to use a stopwatch

Yes, it was raining at the ballroom. However, the most noticeable item was trying to figure out how to use the stopwatch on my iPhone. Through multiple failed attempts old Bass suggested that I ask Siri to do a timer for us which pretty much worked flawlessly.

We took a quick mosey to the only dry spot we could find down by the football field. Then moved into our series of Amrap exercises with a minute timer for each set. They started out as follows, wide arm merkins, regular Americans, mountain, climbers and shoulder taps all 10 reps each. The next set was leg exercises which included squats, sumo squats, calf raises, and monkey Humpers the next set included LBC‘s Weezy, Jefferson‘s American hammers and flutters. The final set side straddle hops jump squats overhead collapse, and Moroccan nightclubs did a few exercises in between, but mostly stayed with these four different sets. We stayed mostly dry until we had to head back to COT in it downpour on us we finished up with some abs and it’s about it.
