THE PAX: Garfield, Oops, Tinder, TitleMax, Iceman, X-files, Twiggy, The Mole, Preacher, Legionnaire, Cricket

Total # of PAX: 11

QIC: Cricket

INTRO:

With Matchstick, the original Q, down with an injury and many PAX enjoying some time away, YHC jumped in for back-to-back Qs. I dug out some old favorites and they were just as terrible as I remember them!

WARM-O-RAMA:

We moseyed up the hill to the practice field which had just been recently mowed. The grass here was looking much better than a few weeks ago where a weed got me in the eye during a burpee. Garfield commented on how nice the grass was; this proved to be bad foreshadowing.

20 SSH IC
Michael Phelps OYO
10 Weed Pickers IC

THE THANG:

YHC then made the bad decision to leave the beautifully manicured field and head down the stairs the grass field that appears to double as a rock quarry/dumpster. I chose this spot because of the brick wall available to us, but we definitely could have knocked out part 1 on the nicer field. Oh well, burpees amongst broken shards of glass and small boulders never hurt anyone.

4 Corner Escalator

• 10 burpees
• 20 Makhtar N’Diayes
• 30 Lunge Jumps
• 40 Mountain Climbers

Run the long sides, Bear crawl the short sides. With the escalator, this one can seem like it will never end. 3 rounds of Makhtar N’Diayes really make this one tough.

 

Flutter Kicks and LBCs as we wait for the 6

 

The 4 Corners really got the heart rate up, so it was time to mosey over to the brick wall for some strength work.

A Donkey Kick to the Balls: This is a favorite of YHC’s and is a mash-up of a Dinkey Kick with Balls to the Wall. The rules are simple:

• Partner up
• Each partner has to perform 100 Donkey Kicks
• Your Donkey Kicks only count if your partner is holding Balls to the Wall

 

With whatever we had left, we moseyed back to the flag with enough time for some Mary:

• 20 Dying Cockroach IC
• 20 Freddy Mercury IC

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Iceman was the 6th man and spoke about his family and 20 years of marriage. A good reminder to us all to invest in our families each day. All the hard work is worth it.
