FNGs: Welcome Jukebox, future patrolman who loves to sing. Thanks for bringing this young man out Pumpkin Spice. Good to see your college basketball playing, former HS Hawk XC star, Cobbler, out to the gloom too.
Warm Up: many PAX participated in VC. Bike ride +10 miles. PAX moist.
The Workout: YOGA, much needed. Look, I will simply attach a pic of the movements we executed. Special thanks to Cancun who provided the play by play and color commentary of all the moves attempted. I tried finding the prisoner terminology he used on this sheet I downloaded from the internet but was unable to locate the verbiage. I will defer to Cancun for his intimate experiences. Quite flexible for a 6’4” 260 pound dude. Awesome. The much anticipated spread Eagle was executed flawlessly by many. Only a few PAX let out some flatulence.
Mary: lots of stretching, balance stuff. Full 45 mins of pure awesomeness IMO.

Mosey to Rovisys – stops along the way for Sir Fazio x10 forward and backward, Monkey Humpers (towards the road of course), and standard merkins.
At Rovisys – go up the ramp, 10x star jumps, run to the corner at the top of the hill for 20x LBCs, run down the hill back to the bottom of the ramp. Methods of going up the ramp were rail spider mans and wheelbarrel twice (once per pax).
Mosey back to Rovisys with the same exercises as on the way swapping out Fazios for Imperial Walkers and Hillbillies.
Back at the school plank hold with merkins to the tune of Thunder by Imagine Dragons.

YHC made my triumphant return as the Q at Paradise City this 55 degree comfortable morning. About 7-8 showed for Extra Credit with Pikachu and Skidmark leaving early to get in the extra mile (nice work). great pick ups on the EC run of this 6. Returned after EC to see a large gathering in the parking lot which looked great! We had a visitor from F3 Chartlotte in town – more on that at the COT
FNGs: None
Warm Up: A quick lap around the parking lot and then circled up
The Workout:
We did the Spartan 500 with running a 0.25 mile in between each sets. Partner up with a man of similar speed but that can push you. Do the set of 50 exercises at opposite corners with your partner. See image below for details.
Goal was to do this 10 times or 5 laps. T claps to (at least) Pikachu, Skidmark and 187 for finishing all 10! I think most of the rest got 8 so a spartan 400!
Mary:
The lead pair got back to the Basketball courts a little early and led group in ab exercises. YHC arrived and closed out mary with a 5 count around the horn holding 6 inch leg lifts.

The Workout:
Mosey behind the Hunt Center and down to the Pit. PAX counted off into 2 groups.
Group 1 did 1 WWII and ran up big hill for 1 merkin. Then 2 WWI+2 merkins.
Group 2 ran the 4 corners of the soccer field stopping at each corner for 10 merkins and 10 WWIIs.
then switch.
After 1 round Group 1 continued their count on the hill with squats and box cutters while group 2 took another lap around the field with 10 squats and 10 box cutters at each corner.
Mosey over to the playground. Poopeater nearly caught a cute bunny, but it was much too fast.
Partner 1 hangs from playground bar while partner runs to corner of parking lot and back and switch.
This was the warm-up for a hang contest. 1st partner hung on bar for time while other partner held chill cut plank.
1st group was won by 187 hanging for just over a minute.
2nd group had Pikachu holding for 1 minute while Hardy and Warbucks held strong. YHC could have done this all day, but we had to get to Mary.
So your challenge rankings looked like this.
1. Hardy
T2. Warbucks – 187
4. Pikachu
T5. All other challengers
Hardy, Warbucks, 187, are not in May challenge. So your favorite 4th place Pokemon took home the Q for U-Turn. Not without some saltiness from some PAX.
Mosey back to the flag.

Moseyed to the playgrounds. This became complicated. Note to self. This is not easy to explain.
Split up into 2 groups. The pax went around the circle. Pax will hold plank. Pax in the back will Burpee and bear crawl to the front. When we got to the fence we did 5 each leg Bulgarian squats. I will think about how I can improve this workout.
