Pardon the Interruption

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Some movements at the green at amphitheatre
THE THANG:
10 burpees, pax run in any direction for 10 secs and return home
10 burpees, repeat run in same direction for 15 secs, return home
10 burpees, run same direction for 20 secs, return home

Starting with youngest pax (Tarzan) each pax took the group to his end point where pax did various exercises

Stop 1 = legs + burpees
Stop 2 = chest+ burpees
Stop 3 = core + burpees
Stop 4 = ground movements+ burpees
Stop 5 = burpees

Return home

Disruption was the theme today where pax didn’t know where we were going , what exercises we were doing, what reps we were counting. There were odd numbers and interrupted sequences and patterns.

We’re human, we want patterns, we want control. Sometimes life just won’t cooperate with our desires or minds. Today was proe for those times.

Thanks for the push and the perseverance. Great job, brothers!

MARY: included in the Thang
ANNOUNCEMENTS: HIM Camp, bethel, shovel Flag handoff Tue
COT: yes, as always

WARMUP: YHC arrived early to get the lay of the land. With construction on going at WEP, and unsure exactly where the DR site Q planted the flag, YHC wanted to make sure we got started smoothly.

YHC had the pleasure of meeting a few PAX for the first time, gave the disclaimer and started our warmup, with still a few more PAX coming in on 2 wheels!

We moseyed around the parking lot. Performed SSH, LSS, Imperial Walkers, Moroccan Night Clubs and Yoga for our warmup.

THE THANG:
Exercises at bottom of hill. Burpees at top of hill, increasing reps with each trip up the hill.
Exercises at bottom of hill were:
– 10 Bomb Jax
– 20 Diamond Merkins
– 30 Wide Arm Merkins
– 40 Squats
– 50 LBCs
– 40 Lunges
– 30 American Hammers
– 20 Merkins
– 10 CDDs

We made all the way through the list, to 9 burpees at top of hill, and then decided to go back up the list and decrease burpees at the top.

Minuteman was the King this morning, making it back to the round of Squats I believe?

MARY: Flutters IC, Hello Dolly IC. Black Gold and Spike were able to practice calling cadence with Box Cutters and Freddie Mercurys.
