March Madness at Possum Trot
Warm Up: Twenty-six PAX came out on the first day of spring (low 40’s) fired up to take part in March Madness – Possum Trot style. Inspired by Blue Hen from an earlier Q at Downtown Train, Dauber asked PAX to show up in their college team gear giving support to their favorite team. Only four PAX brought their spirit representing UNC, Duke, Penn State and NC State by showing up in their gear. There must have been a lot of dirty laundry or simple forgetfulness. Not deterred, Q started the beat down on time with a jog around the tennis courts and then circling up for the following exercises: 32 SSH, 10 Good AM, 10 Vegetation Grabbers, 10 Hill Billies and 10 Imperial Walkers. Q added some static arm stretches (L/R) across and behind the back for good measure. PAX then headed to the Snack Shack.
The Workout: PAX lined up against the outfield fence. Jack Webbs were executed starting with one merkin and three air presses from our knees. The count escalated until PAX reached 10 merkins and 30 air presses. Who knew pushing air could be so hard? Mosey to the Snack shack for 16 sec cadence count of seated chair followed by 16 sec cadence count of BTTW. Rinse and repeat. Mosey to the road and lined up in a single file. PAX performed and kept a plank position or something similar to a plank while the last PAX member in line bear crawled to the front of the line. PAX members each took a turn bear crawling until every PAX made it to the front. Q called an audible only making it halfway up the road and had each PAX mosey to the rock pile for a medium-sized rock. Lots of grumbling and mumble-chatter and in all honestly, Q was struggling during this “extended” exercise. (If you cant do it, don’t Q it.). PAX circled up with rock in hand for the first set of the following exercises with rock: 16 goblet squats, 16 curls, 16 overhead presses and 16 tricep curls. PAX side shuffled the distance of the parking lot swapping lead foot at the halfway point until they reached the large hill. Q called a bear-crawl and then 8 dips OYO on the guradrail. Reverse bearcrawl and jog back to the rocks. The second set with the rocks included 16 rut-rows, 16 wonder bras, 16 overhead squats and 16 one hand on rock merkins (8L, 8R). An astute Skidmark corrected Q when he inadvertently called one-handed merkins. Side shuffle back to the hill with more bearcrawls up the hills, 8 dips on guardrail OYO and jog back. Q queried PAX about significance of the day (first day of Spring, officially starting at 5:58PM, etc.) and threw in 5 burpees OYO before starting next set. Called out four PAX who had their collegiate school gear on asking them to call the next set of exercises: Cupid called crableg grab (apologies for forgetting name); Banana Seat called for Turkish get-ups on each side and Skidmark called for the iconic Bobby Hurleys. Dauber was too busy looking at his watch trying to grab another set in before Mary to complete the four bracket challenge and sent the PAX shuffling to the hill. More bear crawl up and down with dips on the guardrail OYO. Unfortunately, Dauber did not manage the clock properly and asked PAX to form up on the tennis courts for Mary after returning their rocks back to the rock pile.
Mary: PAX held BTTW until the six. Mary was brief with the following 10 count core exercises: Homer to Marge, Box cutters, Freddie Mercury and American Hammers.
