Swampy

Swampy

22 men decided to post on what can only be described as a swampy morning. Thanks to last night’s rain, the humidity was up and some plans for wheelbarrow relay on the soccer field had to be altered. None the less, the show must go on, and so it did. Add some beliefs that I stole this Q from Zin, and we had all the makings for a wonderful morning.

DiCCS proclaimed, and we’re off….

Warm-up

• Very quick lap around the parking lot (complaints already starting about the pace…)
• Circle up for a quick but effective warm-up
  • SSH IC x 20
  • Merkins CC x 20
  • Downward Dog
  • Calf Stretching

The Thang

• 4 Corners – Alternate 10 burpees and 10 jump squats at each corner (stop signs) x 4 laps / Gazelles continue laps until the 6 was in
• Mosey to far playground
• Cindy’s Lap
  • Partner 1 = Cindy (5 pullups / 10 merkins / 15 squats) – AMRAP until partner 2 returns
  • Partner 2 = Lap around the adjoining track
  • Each partner must complete 3 laps
  • Some quick Mary waiting on the 6
• Mosey to front of school
• Alternate burpees (5) and jump squats (5) at each light – all the way to the end and back (12 lights)
• Some short Mary
• Jail break to start

Moleskin

• Complaining started out at what could be an all time high for a non-partner carry call. YHC almost blew past the 1st stop sign on 4 Corners, and my abrupt stop got the PAX complaining immediately. However, there was a quick hush as the realization that 80 burpees were required to complete the 1st station… I believe everyone was hoping for an audible, but that was not in the humidity soaked cards this morning.
• Deadwood and Zin both donned their vests today. I’m not sure how they made it through the 120 burpees and 120 jump squats with those, but they somehow did.
• Goodfella is a burpee machine, lapping the field (he made sure to announce it) for 4 corners.
• Chicken Little has channeled his inner Hollywood and suddenly become stupid fast…
• Some PAX still need to work on pullups… The Murph 2.0 is coming for Veteran’s Day, so you need to be prepared.
• That said, the PAX as a whole KILLED it today. This was a tough workout by anyone’s standards but everyone pushed hard and made it through. I would bet that 90% (maybe 100%) of us would not have done this a year ago. Great job!
• Thanks as always for allowing me to Q. I’ll see you for my 3rd Q in a week at Floater!
