Mission Impossible @ Possum Trot

Warm Up: Run around the tennis courts to the snack shack.  20 SSH, 10 Good Mornings, 10 Cotton Pickers, 10 Fazios F/B, 10 HB, 10 IW, Left over Right and Back stretches.  Lined up on ramp, PAX executed 10 strides adding 1 burpee, continued until 5 burpees (5!) were met after alternating strides facing fence and then facing the RR tracks.  PAX continued up the ramp with window openings, Frankensteins and Butt kickers.  Mosey to parking lot to grab coupons.

The Workout:  PAX of 11 counted of by 3’s and formed three groups.  Q had four index cards each having a specific mission to accomplish by the PAX.   Missions were labeled A, B, C or D.   A group leader chose an index card.  Last group that chose a card, chose their coupon first from below.  Q reminded PAX to choose wisely.  Group then read each card with its specific mission.  Clarifying instructions were given by Q.  PAX began their individual mission as a covert unit.

Mission A:  200 LBC, 200 Merkins, 200 Squats.  PAX carry coupon around the outside (oops) of the tennis courts 4X.  PAX were told they could work together meeting their number of reps.  This group finished early and helped PAX on the tennis court with their mission.  PAX executed additional exercise including monkey humpers, pickle pounders, etc.

Mission C:  Not chosen.  Details saved for another adventure.

Mission D:  200 Starjumps, 200 Shoulder Taps, 200 BTTW in cadence.  PAX carry coupon around four corners of tennis courts.  At each corner, PAX dropped coupon, executed 1-4 burpees at each corner until completion.  PAX excited this 4X.  Some confusion re: executing reps individually or together.

Mission B:  200 Dips, 200 Leg-ups (alternating L/R), 200 Erkins.  PAX carried coupon from parking lot to snack shack and then back to the parking lot 4X.  This group decided to carry the coupon together resulting in needing more time to accomplish their mission.

The remaining PAX from Mission A and D joined their fellow operatives near the snack shack Mission B. helping them complete their mission.

Enthusiasm was very high so more exercises were added included  10 count dips and erkins.  Q had PAX mosey to the wall and performed the following exercises in 20 count cadence:  LBCs against the wall, arm chair and BTTW.  Rinse and repeat.  PAX grabbed all of the coupons and formed into their original mission groups.  Handed off the coupons to each member in their group while heading back up the ramp to the parking lot in a semi Indian run/walk.  Mission Accomplished.

Mary:  Q asked for any virgin Q support to help lead Mary.  Two PAX voulunteered (Modify and Beater) but Modify won out.  Modify lead us in Mary with the following 15 count core exercises:  Freddie Mercury, Homer to Marge, Box cutters, WWIIs, low slow Flutters, Winemakers.  Excellent job stepping up.  Being prepared and ready to step in is essential to leadership.

Announcements:  Messi (2.0) will Q again next Monday at Mutiny; F2 at Stick Boy

Prayer:  Ausfart, Double D’s wife and dad, Brexit’s friend who passed, spoken and unspoken.  Dovetail stepped up and lead us out in Prayer – Thank you!

Began with 5 slides in a basketball defensive stance followed by one burpee.  Rinse and repeat adding an additional burpee each time until the roundabout was reached.

Mosey’d to the rockpile and each PAX picked out a rock and circled up for some heavy lifting.  Q called an audible and had PAX rotate to the right and workout with another PAX’s selected rock.  Proceeded with the workout – Curls for the girls, overhead triceps, ruh-rohs, and rock merkins (10 with left left hand on rock and switched for 10 more with right hand on rock).

Returned rocks and mosey’d to picnic shelter for some irkins, dirkins, merkins, and dips.  Performed 10 count of each exercise IC.  Some mubble chatter about a 10 count but Q continued on with a rinse and repeat.

Sticks and Stones

16 PAX: Overheard during the workout: At STONES, we’re pushing this rock around the whole parking lot? and Wait ’til you get to 30 wonder bras. On INDIAN RUN, I’m confused! At STICKS, Yogurt, you gonna join us on this STICK exercise? And of course, at COT, continued trash talking about Slide Rule and Slack…

EC: 187, Axe, Banana Seat, LED, Warbucks, ChIPs

Warm Up: Mosey to amphitheater

SSH x25, GM x15, triceps stretches 10 sec per side, shoulder stretches 10 sec per side, dips x25

The Workout:

STONES: Mosey to “stone” pile and parking lot

Three laps, arm exercises with counts of 10, 20, 30 at each corners; finish lap with burpees x1, x2, x3

Lap 1: Bear crawl, pushing rock as you go (aka skidmark), arm exercise = 10, 20, 30 curls

Lap 2: Lunge walks with rock, arm exercises = 10, 20, 30 overhead presses

Lap 3: Run/walk with stone overhead, arm exercises = 10, 20, 30 wonder bras

SAND: “Modified Indian run.” Carry 40 lb sand bag as you advance to front of line. I didn’t fully think this on out, so there was lots of confusion. Eventually, I think everyone carried the “baby.” Next time, instead of passing the baby back down the line, the each PAX needs to advance to the front of the line, which pushes the PAX holding the baby to the back of the line. Then, the PAX holding the baby runs to the front. PAX advances one at a time past the baby, PAX with baby runs to front. Rinse and repeat.

STICKS: (firewood logs): Select log from Delilah (Blue Tacoma)

Burpees in “sevens,” carrying stick to top of parking lot, executing burpees, carry back down, execute burpees, rinse and repeat.
