Message:
Who is it that we say we are?
If you get tired, learn to rest.
There is no quitting.
You don’t get to decide when you can stop.
Who is it that we show people we are?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Homer came out victorious mainly due to votes received for use of AO. Thanks to all who participated in 1 or all 4 weeks. It was great to see some bonding between the regions through this event. Don’t be afraid to cross the river.
WARMUP: it’s sweep the leg. We did a burpee ladder instead on way to school drive. Starting with 1 worked our way up to 5 then back down performing the burpees at each light pole on way down Dave gibson, we also stopped every so often to perform exercises IC waiting for 6
THE THANG: short version of longest mile with using light poles, lunge walk to 1st pole, then bear crawl to 2nd then crab walk to 3rd.
We all picked up 6 before moseying to back of school by bottom of hill where YHC did not provide very clear instructions at start so had to run around and update pax as we went. but we started 11s with HR Merkins (10) and BombJacks (1) at last pole top of hill. Plan was to drop a pole each lap so it would get progressively shorter think the gazelles got up to round 6 or 7 but we still ran out of time, and a couple PAX got back a min or two late
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas party, lots of Saturday CSAUPS coming up, PnP tomorrow, HIM camp. We named hashbrowns
COT: yep!
WARMUP: yep
THE THANG: hill work. Indian lunge. Zipper pushup drill. Burpee broad jumps, more push ups and bear crawl. Dora with more lunges and push up variations. Rotating wall sits and planks with burpees. Overhead claps for several minutes.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: see newsletter
COT: self gratitude.
Warmup:
47 SSH (IC)
20ish merkins (IC)
Mosey around the elementary school car line.
Killer B’s:
Bearcrawl 10 yards do ten burpees
Bearcrawl 10 more yards do 20 bombjacks
Bearcrawl 10 more yards do 30 BBS
Broad jump all the way back to the start. Do this 3x
15:00 minute time limit.
After this I asked the pax if when I put the time limit on the routine it made them push harder or slack off. The point being we all have a time limit. Our time is finite, if they’d true then why not push yourself… why not try and maximize your minutes?
2nd routine Pick your poison:
Since Duquesne made the tournament for the first time in 47 years everybody got to choose how they wanted to get 47 reps in.
47 HR OR Diamond merkins
Run a lap
47 Jump Squats OR Lunges (2-cr)
Run a lap
47 (4-CT) flutters OR HD
Run 2 Laps
This took us straight to COT.
Men…Maximize the minutes given to us. Lost time is never found again.
