Due to the Rolesville Fall Fun Fest, our AO shifted to the parking lot where we often do four-square.

Warmup:

  • Side Straddle Hops X30 cadence
  • Good Mornings x30 cadence
  • Mountain Climbers x30 cadence
  • Arm Circles x25, reverse x25, Moraccan Night clubs x25
  • Windmills/Don Quixotes x 20 cadence
  • Helicopters x 20 cadence

WARNING: It was during the warmups that we discovered there is actually a FourthF and at times it is quite noticeable and other times silent, but still very deadly!

The Thang:

  • Pick a Date (Drainage Ditch)
    • Ran the trails from the four-square parking lot to the drainage ditch with rocks near the shelter and school.
    • Pax picked a partner and picked a girlfriend “Rock”zanne to pickup for a shared date.
    • Floppy took our odd spot and did his own odd things!
    • She has spent her entire life on the pile so we are going to show her a good time and she cannot hit the ground. It is up to you and your partner to take good care of her. Be Gentlemen!

IMPORTANT NOTE: to better enjoy the reading of remainder of this backblast take a moment to que up “Roxanne” by The Police. You won’t regret letting the voice to Sting be your guide!

  • Latter Dating Game (Field)
    • After a successful group date, “Rock”zanne was eager to get to know each pax on a personal level. The latter dating game will give each a little “alone time” with “Rock”zanne.

        • Partner A in center Rock Squats while Partner B sprints to sideline for Merkins
        • Partner B in center Rock Squats while Partner A sprints to sideline for Merkins
  • The Date Goes Horizontal (Field)
    • The date must have gone well because “Rock”zanne didn’t put on the red light! So, we end up horizontal. Pax got on their sixto prepare for the workout. This portion of the workout elicited many jokes and comments that are best not repeated and posted in writting!
      • x30 total Rock Sit-ups – A & B sit facing each other & sit-up w/ rock (passing rock between downs)

      • x30 single ct Tricep Extensions each – while partner does squats
        • Then switch

The pax then ran back to the flag with a little extra pep in their step
