Tag: Bermuda Triangle

We were an Indigenous PAX this morning in the hallowed grounds of the Bermuda Triangle. Using the short fence and the poles of the entrance way. I’m sure the PAX is tired of being on the ground as that’s where the majority of our time was spent this morning. Here’s what the Indigenous PAX was doing.

Warmup

SSH X15 IC

IW X10 IC

DON QUYOTES X10 IC

LBCs x10 IC

MERKINS X8 IC

1 burpee

Moseyed over to the entrance where the short fence starts and started a long stretch of Indigenous exercises

The PAX would do chair dips on the short fence as the trailer bear crawls to the front

Doozy was doing walking lunges in modification

Next would be incline merkins as the trailer would crab walk to the front

As we approached the end of the (long) short fence, I thought about moving the PAX to the football field but decided to keep it going. Switched to squats and kept the crab walks.

Once we reached the end of the short fence we had the poles to deal with

Chaplain’s Indigenous polesmokers (a staple of the Bermuda Triangle according to Shank) with the trailer doing walking lunges. About halfway we switched to Boo Ya Merkins using the poles. Until we FINALLY reached the end of the Indigenous portion of the morning.

Next we moved a short distance to a small hill. Take a seat in the middle of the hill and do

American Hammers x5 double count at each hour around the imaginary clock ( total of 60

Repeat with x5 LBCs at each hour

Mosey back to the flag for some stretching, prayer requests, and announcements

Great to see everyone out this morning, pushing and modifying as needed. Doozy and Florence continue to impress by posting despite injuries.

As I show up in the gloom I found that I was alone this Tuesday morning!
