Warm Up: Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, Right over left, Reverse, Burpees for the late ones

The Workout:  We decided to play it safe and stay on the well lit streets so we could see the ice.  Following Main St down to the carwash near townhall and continuing on to Womble.  Everyone was told to set the distance to OYO.  Some turned at the carwash, others at Hunt, and some folks took a spin around the park before heading back.  The Q (YHC) went back for the “six” from the carwash to make sure everyone knew the turning spots for 3 vs 5 miles.

There was a john stop attempted but there was a paper supply issue…

Mary: Nope

There was some chatter about the ‘Rebel Walk’ warm up implying PAX looked they all $hit themselves… This theme continued into prayer requests as Dauber asked for prayers that he could make it through mile one without having a bowel movement.

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.
