A Tribute to

Leave a comment

WARMUP: A quick run up the hill to pay tribute…to the hill.  Then we paid tribute to Cha-Ching with an inspired OYO 11 burpees followed by 33 SSH.  Ran down the hill and to the big parking lot for another inspired 11 and 33.  Then ran to the band parking lot for another 11 and 33.  The meaning behind 11 and 33, don’t remember but Cha-Ching may!
THE THANG: Ran over to the front of the school by the benches and broke out the “alternative” music in tribute to Slash who’s recovering from knee surgery.  (Alternative music wasn’t very alternative so fail on YHC part).  We did the exercises below and then ran a lap around the parking lot after each set.
– 10 burpees, ~30 seconds Al Gore
– 15 diamonds, 30 monkey humpers
– 20 hand release, 50 calf raises
– 25 wide arm, 50 flutters
– 30 reg merkins, 40 step ups
– 35 rangers, 25 incline merkins
– 40 CDD, 30 hammers

Ran back to COT.
MARY: got through 3 min worth
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas party, shanking with Stang
COT: CSPAN around the horn!

More mosey to the bus loop curb where we did some 7’s that included curb dips, crab walks to other curb, derkins and bearcrawls back.

MARY: Slow Roll got a chance to work on his cadence count and called lunges. Splinter chose Freddie mercurys and I stayed on my back for dying coackroaches.
