Figure Eights…or Eight is enough?

I had the idea of running figure eights around the buildings across the street (19 of them total). The idea was partner work so eight would be perfect for the plan, but only 7 showed up. All is well, we made it work.

After a decent Disclaimer, here’s what we did:

Mosey over to fountain in medical complex (circle up)

  • 20 Side Straddle hops – cadence
  • 5 burpees – on your own
  • 10 Low Slow Squats – cadence
  • 20 dips – cadence

Partner Up (I jumped in with FNG Mascot and Pony)

Mosey down left side (10 buildings)

  • One partners heads around to left / the other heads around the right
  • 10 hand slap Merkins at end of building
  • Flap-jack, run around next building (figure 8s)
  • 9 hand slap merkins
  • So on, to 1

Mary while we wait for 6

Reverse the way we came (10 buildings, figure 8s)

  • One partners heads around to left / the other heads around the right
  • 2 sit ups each (partner holds feet)
  • Flap-jack, run around next building
  • 4 sit ups each
  • Next building
  • So on, to 20 back at fountain

 

Mary – Wait for 6

Bear Crawl Ring of Fire (Bear crawl once around fountain)

Same Partner – Different direction(s)

  • Around buildings to the right (6)
  • Partner Derkins start with 12 each
  • Run around next building
  • Partner derkins 10
  • So on until reach last building and 2 derkins

Mary – wait for 6

Same partner

  • Partner figure eights with LBCs
  • Both partner run around building
  • Meet at end and do 20 LBCs each
  • Repeat until back at fountain (120 LBCs)

A little time remaining…

Mosey out to center two buildings. Split first two, circle Elavation Church, split two buildings, AYG back to fountain.

Audible, roadblock due to Y Mini Tri…10 merkins OYO, then mosey to a brick wall (thanks Bucky for the idea). Peoples chair, shoulder press IC, raise left leg (YHC struggled here) shoulder press, raise right leg, shoulder press.

All you got back to Fountain. Mary called by the team.  Mosey back to Chic fil a – Time

Moleskin:

  • Thanks for allowing me to lead. At one point Commish said ‘it looks like you are having fun’. Well he’s right, this is fun and even more so when you get to lead a group of guys that put in a solid effort and are forgiving for the occasional stumble.
  • Actually Commish caught me smiling after FNG Mascot said ‘So you guys keep this fast pace for the whole hour?’.  We were only about 15 minutes into the morning. Welcome Mascot! he actually claimed to ahve not worked out in several months. I call BS, he did well, especially with the merkins.
  • Pony keeps coming out and is getting stronger.  Great work man.
  • Bucky took of after my AllYouGot call and there was no catching him. Thanks for the support of my Qs and leading the PAX today!
  • Mighty Mite and Gator Bait always put in a great effort and never complain. Not sure about the dead cockroach during team Mary, but it seems ligit.
  • After getting back to Chic-fil-a we met up with Chopper for a surprise visit. The gloom ain’t the same without you bro. look forward to having you back. Thanks for the take out!
