My first Backblast…ahhhh the thrill. Not sure if the format is right but here goes…
13 PAX present: Mayhem, Mr Rogers, Katahdin, Grady, Aflac, Beaver, CDC, Dabo, Noriega, Cinderella, ManRam, Tinkertoy, and yours truly, Wall-E
First off, BIG thanks to Pygmy for both getting me to come and coaching me a bit for my Q day!
Wall-E had a number of events planned and was changing them on the fly due to the excessive darkness. Headlamp in my future!
Started with good warm up.
SSH x 25
Good monrning x10
Fosio Arm Circles (both ways) 10 count
Mountain Climbers x10
LBC’s
Brief run to the tennis court for Burpee Dans
Burpee Dans = 1 burpee, 4 lunge steps, 1 burpee, 4 lunge steps to over side of court and back. On back leg 2 burpees, 4 lunge steps, 2 burpees, 4 lunge steps. REPEAT with StarJumps replacing Burpees. (good time had by all)
Run to other side of campus (up/down parking lot) (encountered a bit of traffic but no deaths reported)
–> count off 1,2,1,2 etc
