Slow Flutter x 15 IC

Run to 50 yard line on the football field while YHC grabbed the bag of numbered tennis balls on the way.

Partner up – size matters…sort of.

One partner would draw a tennis ball from the bag, and YHC (or Simba since I was struggling with creativity) would call an exercise.  Partners would run 50 yards to opposite end zones and do the corresponding # of called exercise.   I think the numbers of reps were:  11, 13, 37, 20, 29, 13, 11 & 10?

We did the following exercises or something like it:

Double Merkin Burpees – 11

LBCs – 37

Makthar Ndjiayes – 11

Jump Squats – 13

Freddy Mercury – 29

One legged squat – 10R & 10L

CDD – 13

We also did the following partner work:

Praire Fire Mary (aka Leg Throws though I hate that term and will not use it again) x 29

Wheelbarrow – 30ish yards

Partner push & Partner pull – 30 yds each

Partner derkins x 11

Granny situps while partner holds feet while in plank x 13

May have done some other stuff, but can’t remember

Jog to front of school

Plankorama including RAH, LAH, Yankee Aggressor, Southern Gentleman, Laettner, 6 in hold

Form 2 lines – Indian Run back to launch lot

COT

Ye Olde Moleskine:

YHC got a message from the scheduled Q – Dick Clark yesterday afternoon.  He’s still on IR – get well brother.  Cobains for a rather uncreative Q, but the “pain by number” is a nice break from the norm.  There really is a ball in there with “100” on it.  Too bad none of you jokers pulled it.

The pax was definitely getting after it out there – Bushwood, Simba, Hannibal, One Eye…probably others.  My partner – One Eye – was always waiting on me…appreciate the patience brother.  Of course at the outset, thinking YHC would call partner carries (never a good idea frankly) – One Eye tried to bail on me…that hurts…not really…maybe a little.

Thanks also to Simba for calling some exercises when YHC ran out of ideas #whereistheweinke

Anyway, YHC needs to invest in an arm band for phone.  Carrying it back in the bag with the tennis balls felt a little awkward….until I handed it to One Eye. #manbag

Good takeout prayer from Big Top.
