Riding the Escalator can be good for you

13 Men decided to deny the fartsack and take the Escalator this AM and will be better for it.

Short Disclaimer – all veteran crowd

 

Baby jog around the school back to the newly lined smaller football field.

5 merkins, 5 jump-squats, 5 heels to heaven, 5 burpees – done

While waiting for the six – different rounds of Mary

 

Following the Q with the headlamp – quick mosey thru the woods to Hydra’s favorite hill – Foxworth

Triple Nickel Time

5 burpees, run up the hill – 5 jump squats – run back down x 5

(YHC did call burpees at both top and bottom but pretty sure that violates Mermaid’s triple nickel by-laws so audibled to jump squats)

Quick mosey back thru the very dark woods back to the parking lot.

6 MOM

High Plank – 1 minute

Hollow Rocker position hold ~ 45 seconds

Superman ~ 45 seconds

Done.

This is YHC’s first Q in a while – so may have lacked some creativity but think everyone got their money’s worth. YHC was smoked by the end.  Solid group pushing it all day today.   Burpees are always the great equalizer. (when you count them correctly – right Queen???)

Solid work by everyone today – very little down time – tried to keep it moving – but tried to also stay true to old school boot camp and not all the BRR running that is pretty much everywhere these days.

Thanks, Queen and Marge for the chance to lead. It’s a privilege.

Hops – thanks for the great take out this am.

Champagne Out

Just when I thought I couldn’t get any slower/weaker doing burpees – today confirmed, I could, in fact. #slowmotionburpee. But my form was impeccable Champagne…disappointed there was no mention in COT or this backblast.
One Eye was out front all morning. That being said, he doesn’t leave the ground on jump squats…perhaps due to the recently healed broken toe? Perhaps not.
Deep Dish, talking some junk apparently, was shown some rare mercy by Champagne when he relented on the burpees and audibled to jump squats on the Triple Nickel…..and there was much rejoicing from the pax.
