15 stalwarts appeared in the gloom each with their own sippy cup for YHC’s 50th birthday beatdown. Here’s how it went:
Mosey to the circle, around the carillon and to the far circle.
COP: 10x Don Quixote, 10x helicopters, 20x arm circles Fwd and Rev. Followed by a plank-o-rama.
Mosey to the top of the carillon for a series of animal crawl 4 corners with: 5 burpees, 10 hand-release merkins, 20 plank jacks, and 40 LBCs at the corners. Round 1: bear crawl to the corners. Round 2. Crab walk. Round 3. Duck walk.
Mosey to the stage and the pile of large logs behind it. Partner carry the logs about 20 yards and make a line. Then: (1) Diagonal jumps from one end to the other; (2) plank with hands on logs moving left, (3) plank with hands on logs moving right.
Then: Touch A Tree with Logs. Partner up. Round 1 partner holds one end of the log up while other partner touches 3 trees. Round 2: crab walk and push log with your feet and 3 trees. Round 3: hold one end of log above your head and 3 trees. Partner log carry back to original location.
Then, mosey to the field for some Whamo animal walks. Person #1 throws frisbee, everyone sprints until frisbee lands then animal walks the rest of the way (Bear Crawl, Bunny Hop, Crab walk, duck walk, wounded bear right leg, wounded bear left leg).
And for the finisher, a little Burp Back Mountain. Mosey behind the amphitheater. Partner up. One pax Bernie Sanders up the hill to the road and runs forward down while other partner does Burpees. Proceed until 100 burpees are completed.
Mosey back to the flag followed by 50 SSH.
COT: YHC took us out with some words of gratefulness.
Moleskin. The Pax learned some things today: (1) Upchuck’s super power is duck walks. Somehow he does a full body pivot with each step. (2) A Helix duck walk is more impressive than a Helix squat. (3) Logs sitting in the grass gather slugs which can be hard to avoid when planking on them. (4) Burp Back mountain may be the only exercise where one looks forward to the Burpee part. (5) YHC’s age is getting to him which may lead to fumbling some instructions. (6) Faceplant is sneaky and the PAX are good at keeping secrets. (7) Sipping water during a tough workout helps with endurance.
Great workout today guys. Thanks for pushing hard with me. I will not forget this one. It was so cool that everyone brought their water bottles today. I felt honored–thanks for making this 50th a special one for me. It was also great to see Honey Do and Mr. Rogers for the first time in a while. My Sippy Cup is full.
