Warm Up: Nice mosey around the tennis court stoping at each parking lot light to do a prescribed exercise.  Along the way we divided into 1’s and 2’s and picked up our coupon (rock) to use over at the hill.
The Workout:

At the hill 1’s and 2’s partnered up to do circuit exercises.  Going up the hill one partner would do a rock climber (bear crawl with rock) at the top we did in sets of 10, 15, 20, and 25 Dips, Irkins, Tricep Ext, and curls for the girls.  Partner at the bottom was doing Mountain climbers, Monkey Humpers, Marionettes, and then Mexican Jumping beans.

After much mumblechatter and @Redenbacher almost loosing a leg from a falling rock down the hill we moved over to the tennis courts for a little game of F3 Tennis.  Rules: ball can only bounce once on your side, player bounce player not player bounce bounce, serve has to make it over net from the back rectangle, opposing team gave prescribed exercise if the team got a penalty.  Playing to 10.

11 Pax got a lesson in Marine Corps history as we took to Belleau Wood and Tripoli at TBD for a butt-kicking like no other @M4LIFE @swishersweet, @Hardy @Gamecock @Florence/FloJoe @Yogurt @Dahmer @Java @Cancun @HazMat and

@Breach on the Q/Drill Instructor/History Professor

Warm Up: All pax were issued a Rifle (aka a pool noodle) and we formed 2 squads for a platoon style movement to the lower parking lot for 22 counts exercises of (SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers/Hillbillies, and Prisoner Squats)

The Workout:

Evolution #1- Battle of Tripoli

April 27 1805- Marines march more than 500 miles across the Libyan desert to defeat the barbary pirates and rescue the crew of the USS Philadelphia. This is the battle where the Marines earned the nickname leatherneck due to the piece of leather they wore to keep the pirates from slicing their throats

Get into pairs and wheelbarrow around the track, every time that you have to switch you have to perform 5 burpees. Squat hold for the 6. We recused the crew of the USS Philadelphia and they had to finish the evolution with us. (2 Pain Sticks, 2 Sandbags and 2 Fire hoses) All the gear had to be carried by the platoon. 

 

Evolution #2-Battle of Belleau Wood -June 1918 

Marines charges machine guns nest with fixed bayonets and engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat that took six days to accomplish, it was at this battle that the Marines earned the title Devil Dogs for their fierce fighting style and their inability to quit fighting. 

Rescue the crew and move on to the rock pile- get a medium-sized rock and line up across the parking lot. Frogger jumps with the rock across the lots. When you get to the other side 19 ground pounders, frogger back and do 18 ground-pounders, pick up the 6. 

Grab the crew and head toward the tennis courts for Mary

Mary:

Chumbawamba- I get knocked down, but I get up again. SSH for the non-course line and burpees/Turkish get-ups for the course, every I get knocked down you hit the deck and get back up.

Ended the workout with some bagpipe amazing grace to reflect on the upcoming Memorial Day holiday and what the cost of our freedom is.
