Intro:

Not for the faint of heart. All PAX were up for the challenge.

Warm-o-Rama:

As the PAX rolled in they were greeted by a truck bed full of coupons… the trusty ol' cinder block. The four of us selected our inanimate companion and began our slow mosey off into the distance, just as Doddy came screeching in on two wheels. Mouth-2-Mouth commented on how amazed he was that Doddy didn't just keep driving. "Sorry guys… wrong turn somewhere. I thought I was going to the Paragon."

Nonetheless, Doddy grabbed his coupon and circled up for a little warmup.

SSH x 10 (IC)
Michael Phelps (OYO)
Sun Gods (OYO)
Imperial Walkers x10 (IC)

The Thang:

Mosey to the far end of the parking lot. Partner up. Time for some Diego 1-2-3… all exercises with coupons.
1 PAX runs to the far island and back, while the other PAX completes as many reps. Switch.

100 Merkins with hands on one coupon – brings those hands in tight to the chest
150 Overhead Presses – don't drop that coupon on your head
200 LBCs with the coupon on your chest – starting to get hard to breath
250 Curls with coupon – works the grip strength, too
300 Squats with coupon – amazing how much harder the run is after you knocked out about 50 of these

FINISHED. EARNED IT. Slow 10 count for recovery. 8 minutes to go, time for some Mary.

My daughter provided us with a little ab routine she does before dance. She was all smiles when I got home and told her we used it.

16x LBCs
16x LLBCs (that's legs to the left)
16x RLBCs (you guessed it… legs to the right)
16x LBCs

Next…
16x Flutter Kicks
16x Left to Right Flutter Kicks moving your legs higher in the air, then lowering them back do toward the ground…. sure there is some F3 name, or needs to be. Either way, it sucked.

Grab your coupon, mosey back to the flag. Wait, Westside decided to take our flag to The Cheetah, so we are flagless. Did the beatdown even count?

2 minutes left. Finish with some SSH 15x (IC) and slow Weed Pickers 8x (IC).

6:15. Feeling it… and it feels great. Well done.

COT:

Gilligan, our guest from B'Ham stepped in as our 6th man. Good to meet some new HIMs.

Naked Man Moleskin:

Commented to Gilligan later that day that it always feels good to accomplish something hard first thing in the morning. Can't think of a better way to start the day.
