The Workout:

Split up into two groups.

Group 1 did an indian run down the long path.  When they reached the end they did 5 Burpees.
Group 2 did 5 Burpees, 10 Merkins, 15 Squats, 20 LBCs, 10 Cadence Count Balls to the wall and Preacher chair until group 1 came back.

The groups then switched.
Repeated 5 times

Mosey to the bottom of the ramp for something that was way too complicated, but we had 3 minutes to burn.

Run up four light poles.  Turn and run backwards up two light poles.  Don’t turn around and run forward two light poles.  Then turn around and repeat till you reached the top of the hill.  Then mosey back to the circle for Mary.

Back in Black (Carpex QSwap 2018)

Today is Thursday, January 17, and it’s time for SouthWake to head North and Q the ever-early Back in Black (5:15 start!)  16 Pax showed up on a chilly morning, 7 SW regulars + 1 FNG (pretty sure that’s 50% SW….just sayin!) .  A few minutes before kickoff, an emergency plan was discussed and a brief tutorial of how to properly do an Australian Clip Board & Nutcracker Merkin.

Hermes, Repeato, Straight Cash, Disco Duck, Peeping Tom, Light Bright, Staubach, Wiggly, Yoga Mat, Warbucks, Pikachu, Breach, Blue Water, Shut In, Slide Rule, you were all there.

And we’re off!

Emergency Plan:

In case of emergency, we’ll load up in Hermes’ truck, 2 men in back with downed Pax, 1 passenger calling 911, and Hermes driving us to Wake Med just up the road.  Shut In would take over if Hermes is down.

Warm Up:

Quick lap around the small lot.  SSH & Imperial Squat Walkers in Cadence to get loose.

5x Bobby Hurleys, then 5x Blue Devils (add a Turkish Getup to a Bobby Hurley…the Flop really captures the full Duke experience).  In a surprise to all involved, Shut In and Hermes opted to actually do the exercise rather than stand and watch this year.

Circle up, all Pax do SSH while we introduce ourselves and pick 1x Burpee or Blue Devil.  YHC is sorely disappointed more Blue Devils were not chosen, but if the Pax wants to start the day with 16 Burpees, so be it.

The Workout:

The goal of all SW Q’s when we come to Carpex is to work hard enough to slice through the mumble chatter.  YHC figured the best chance of that was a mix of running and lots and lots of Burpees + Blue Devils.  If you can’t breathe, you can’t chatter 🙂

Indian run to the larger lot and group in 4’s by speed.  YHC got there early and set up 10 Traffic cones, zig-zagging the entire lot.  Pax would run the long way to the next cone, do the workout, bear crawl around the island, work out, then run.  Repeat until reaching the far side.  The 10 workouts were, in order:

  • 5x burpees
  • 10x Nutcracker Merkins (one pax bench presses the other’s ankles, 2nd pax doing merkins…watch your nuts!)
  • 15x Australian Clip Boards + 5x Burpees (ACB: 2 pax (the clipboards) form a platform by grabbing wrists; 3rd pax does upside-down rows (australian pull up))
  • 10x Blue Devils
  • 5x Double Merkin Burpees
  • 5x Wide, Diamond, Military & Regular Merkins
  • 15x Australian Clip Boards + 5x Burpees
  • 10x Blue Devils
  • 5x Burpees
  • 10x Nutcracker Merkins

When finished, loop back and pick up the six.

At this point, YHC made a tactical error.  I should have just repeated the lot workout, but I was told there were rocks and didn’t want to be accused of being boring.

Thang Pt 2:

Indian run to the rocks (farther away than I thought).  Grab a Vanity Rock….Pikachu is very vain…. for a set of 16’s with WonderBras + Curls.  We made it about 5 rounds in before having to audible away due to time.

Indian run back to the lot, clean up the cones, and Jailbreak to start

Mary:

5 mins of Yoga stretching followed by 25x Pickle Pounders
