EVENing the ODDs

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Mosey from parking lot to track. Hamstring Stretch, Quad Stretch, Pull knee to chest
The Workout:

PAX were instructed on the ground rules for the ME: ODD numbers must be completed in sequence. EVEN numbers are interchangeable throughout the non-stop 45 min timer. I/C exercises were to be done in proper cadence timing and lap work on EVEN’s were to be held to the spot you stopped on the track. i.e. Don’t start walking on bear crawls if your tired. PAX were politely told to have some self-respect and be honorable in their effort. To quote Pablo “I’ll be checking accountability and I ain’t your Daddy.”

PAX were instructed to pick up the 6 on EVEN numbered exercises. Flip a tire, bear crawl an extra distance, throw an extra rep or cadence rep to the 6’s way. Plenty of help given during lack of “will” moments.

I don’t have every PAX’s completed Events. (Each # is an event) But I can come back and edit as they come through.

Nemo: 6 , Mookie: 5, Breach: 6, 16 Bit: 4, Fanny Pack: 6, Maybeline: 7, Cupid: 6, Pablo: 6, FRAM: 6, Roger Roger: ? , Mad Dog 20/20: ? Floe/Joe: ? , Hardy: ?,

Lots of lesson to be learned from this: Help someone, Ask for help, Get past the surface of fear and pain, True Accountability, Steel sharpens steel.

Mary: Not time
Announcements: None (Too tired)
T-Claps (Recognition): Maybeline, Breach and Fanny Pack for EC.  ALL the PAX who committed to the workout. ALL PAX for competing against YOU vs YOU.
Prayer: Pablo’s Family Friend, Roger Roger’s extend families medical issues, Floe/Joe medical issues with family and wife’s getting job opportunities.

This time YHC made sure the warm up didn’t drag on so we had 3 pax finish all 8 repeats (and one honorable mention for 7 + a deposit).
