A Ticket Off the Burpee Train

A Ticket Off the Burpee Train

Last night Wingman made a passionate plea to the SOBLand faithful to support the effort for our F3 Golf sponsorship.  I was compelled to act, first by contributing and then by giving the 16 PAX of Bagpipe an offer they couldn’t refuse. A small contribution that morning would buy them a ticket OFF the burpee train that was about to come into the station.

After a quick disclaimer, passing around the hat to collect, it was off to find a place for the COP.  Since we were venturing out a little farther than usual it was best to stop at each speed bump for 5 merkins or 5 burpees for those who did not get their ticket off the train.

Once we arrived at the designated parking lot it was time for the COP

SSH x 15, 5 merkins or 5 burpees; IW x 15, 10 merkins or 10 burpees,  LSS x 15, 15 merkins or 15 burpees.

The Thang:

Mosey to Harney Drive for the start of something good, remembering to stop at each speed bump along the way to do 5 merkins or burpees.

Upon arrival, we put to good use the hill that was discovered by Paper Clip when we were planning this Q. As luck would have it, the perfect spot for a few rounds of traditional Jacob’s Ladder.

Round 1-Burpees, Round 2-Squat Jacks

The PAX seemed disappointed as we left the hill to find a cozy parking lot to do a modified Beast. Fortunately their spirits were picked up when we encountered a few more speed bumps to do some more merkins or burpees.

At the parking lot, there were three medians for three rounds, three exercises, 5 reps each. Diamond Merkins, Crucible Merkins, and Regular Merkins.

With the Beast tamed, we found a tranquil setting with a row of trees that was perfect for planking. At each tree hold a different plank for 30 seconds.  Regular plank, elbow plank, right and left arm plank, 6 inches, right arm high and left arm high.

Although the PAX were enjoying the humidity of the morning and their planking, it was time to move on. A few speed bumps and short mosey later, we arrived at The Quad for 2 rounds of ab escalators. LBCs 10-20-30-40x then Heels To Heaven 10-20-10-10x.  With time running out it was back to the AO to join the men of Swift.

MOLESKIN

Thanks to all the PAX who supported F3 Golf this morning, especially Chipotle, who paid for several of the PAX to avoid the burpee train.  As a result of the generosity displayed this morning, we have exceeded the donation goal for the SOB Land contribution for F3 Golf.

A shout out to Witch Doctor, who ventured out of Area 51 to post at Bagpipe to support one of our newest PAX, Tae Bo.
