Warm Up: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps

The Workout: PAX took the long way around the ball fields to the Abyss. At the top of the Abyss, YHC laid out the plan. Each PAX would take a turn running to the bottom of the stairs and back up. Meanwhile, the rest of the PAX would do an exercise. Repeat until everyone has had a trip down and back. Then switch the exercise. YHC did not realize just how long it would take to get down and back, and his arms paid for it.
Exercises were merkins, squats, WWIIs and lunges.

Next stop was the playground where we did three rounds of dips followed by people’s chair.

Ran back down the hill behind the fields and returned the rocks. We then mossied over to the Abyss.

Paradise with a UTI

Wet ‘n Wild (Turkey) at Paradise City

FNGs: I think they were scared of the thunderstorms like Downrange

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Willie Mays Haze, Daisy Pickers, Lap, SSH

The Workout:

Since I was on Q, the crazy rain, some previous day shenanigans, and the upcoming Murph the numbers at Paradise were a little lower than I’d hoped (I had a sweet playlist and everything).  The gameplan was to split into teams and have a little race of sorts.  Since we were 3… this is what we did instead.

10 Cards, A-10 were shuffled and placed on the wet pavement.  In an accountability group of 3 we used the 10 cards to randomize the following list of workouts and share the work.

  1. [Ace] Gradual hill “Ting Ramp” runs (4 times, 3 times, 2 times)
  2. Squats x50 ea
  3. Benches (box jump, step up squat, step ups) x10 reps
  4. Sea Turtles (30 ea, 20, 15)
  5. Squats x25 ea
  6. Sea Turtles (30 ea, 20, 15)
  7. Run up steep “Ting Ramp” hill (4 times, 3 times, 2 times)
  8. Squats x25 ea
  9. Star Jumps x200 group total
  10. Benches (box jump, step up squat, step ups) x10 reps

Mary:  We ran a lap around Paradise to make sure we hit the 3 mile minimum

Announcements:  Murph and more to be reviewed at the Murph or on Slack.  Run the Quay Tent on June 1 and SW Family BBQ June 9th at 2p
