40 Minutes of Hell

40 Minutes of Hell

15 Men resisted the temptation for fried chicken at Waverly to endure “40 Minutes of Hell” on the mean courts of Cuthbertson Middle at Impromptu this morning.  There was ample chatter before the start; faces, legs and hands were even visible.  The higher temps a welcome sign for many – although Deflated keeps his streak intact of most consecutive days wearing a tobaggan (yea – thats a winter hat for all of you Yankees).

Pax – Gatorcub, Doughboy, Posse, Bottlecap, Finch, Xerox, Popeye, Olde Macdonald, Tooth Decay, Deflated, MoneyBall, Foundation, Great Pumpkin, Rockwell and yours truly Recalculating as QIC.

Typical warmup

ssh, mnt climb, IW, merkins, cherry pickers.  Points were deducted by the Russian judge for incorrect IW call out.

Mosey to front of the middle school for 15-20-25.  Designed as some strength training – running would come later.

15 Dips, Decline Merkins, Bobby Hurleys – 20Dips, Decline Merkins, Bobby Hurleys, 2Dips, Decline Merkins, Bobby Hurleys.  All done in perfect cadence

The Thang – Head to basketball court

pair up at each basket.  P1 performs prescribed exercise while P2 does a “basketball” lap = Sprint the long sideline, side shuffle the baselines and backward run.sprint other sideline.

started with 150 Squats

When finished as a group gather on the sideline for 17’s (sideline to sideline sprint for a minute) goal is to go sideline to sideline for 17 touches.  This was last done in HS basketball practice – so wasn’t sure what to expect -Bottlecap and Moneyball got close on the fist sprint

REPEATED this cycle several more times with 150 Carolina Dry Docks, LBC’s, Planks, Freddy M’s and bear crawls..  All total I believe we got in 7 – 17’s

Had the makings of a march madness beat down – lots of winded brothers bent over tugging on their Stockton’s.

Some mumble chatter on the last set that we needed to get back to cars – tells me Pax were done with 17’s

Mosey to the parking lot  by 6:15

Pleasure to lead this great group.  All Pax were impressive in the gloom.

Announcements – New Waverly AO, Thursday WaterTower is on final approval for “Official”.  Kind of funny how Waverly was fast-tracked for approval for Official AO.  I sense some payola going on back at corporate.  Maybe some Peruvian Chicken was exchanged – this has Doc McStuffins written all over it.

Father -Daughter Dance and Meme Moment.  Mark this Moment is the event.  See Gatorcub for details and limo ride to the event.  Damascus – be sure to tip the bar for each glass of Merlot.
