YHC had signed up to Q Danger Zone a while ago for anniversary week, even though it wasn’t on my anniversary day, and wasn’t my FNG AO. When the A-Team Q opened up unexpectedly, I jumped on it, seeing as it was my FNG site. So it was a good week, bookended Q’s and a GRT beatdown from Pergo in the middle.

Including YHC, 14 PAX shook off the cold and damp and did some work this Friday morning.

Warm-up:

  • Lap around parking lot. Lap and a half, actually. Because reasons.
  • 10 Burpees OYO (Welcome Callahan!)
  • SSH x20; GM x10; IW x20; 20x MC; 15x LMJJ all IC

Thang:

  • Partner up. One partner works on completing exercises while the other runs a parking lot lap. Work together to get 100x merkins, 200x squats, 300x LBCs. Plank when done. Someone will call it, I promise.  #freedtolead
  • At this point the flag was beckoning under the street lamp, like a shining beacon of hope. That called for a lunge walk half way there, bear crawl the rest, then recover on the jog to complete the parking lot loop.
  • Head to picnic shelter for the last item I didn’t finish up on Monday’s CoS (read all about it here):
    • Pyramid, starting 5 reps each, then 10, 15, 20 and back down:
    • Box jump, irkin, derkin
    • This was popular.
  • Recover on the jog to the basketball courts, find your partner again
  • Partner 1, backwards run to between the courts, run back, backwards full length and back, while partner 2 does People’s Chair.
  • Partner 1 does standard suicide (4 trips out/back) while partner 2 does BTTW.

Mary:

  • Freddie Mercury x30
  • WWII x20
  • American Hammer x40 (also quite popular)
  • Blue Hen called Crab Cakes, which was new to us. Start in a crab walk position, then touch you right hand to your left heel (going above your body), back to ground, left hand/right heel, back to ground (4-count). 20 of those and we were good.

Announcements:  Mule, Bull, Phoenix.

Prayer requests: Mule, Bull, Phoenix =)  YHC took us out. Thanks for a great first year.

NMS:

  • Ollie with the EC plus Mule tomorrow.. #MeanMeanStride
  • Don’t make me bust out the 3/4-length tights.
  • Welcome Gwizz to Danger Zone. Not an FNG but close.  (Well, he’s friendly – just not first-post-new.)
  • Thank Michelob for the picnic table pyramid. That was awful.
  • Acutally his was worse, 10-20-30-20-10, Box jump / Derkin / LBC. Next time.
  • Just typing that makes my arms sore.
  • Yeah, the second partner to do BTTW got the short end of that deal. Runners sometimes put their arms over their heads at the end of a race to breathe easier, but they’re not usually inverted.
  • Let’s see if us non-Mule’ers can set another Crick record tomorrow.
