WIB 1/9 – Sometimes Twice is Not as Nice

QIC: Burns

PAX: Zima, H.O.G., Turnover, Tarheel, Van Pelt (WD), Palin, Honey Badger, Mutton, Cherry Pie, Burns (Q, WB)

One year ago I led a similar workout (read:the same) as I led today. Meet at the Thru-Way parking lot between Talbot’s & SteinMart & be greeted by YHC with a smiling face, some dice, and a piece of cardboard with the following exercises on it:

1. SSH
2. Merkins
3. Jump Squats
4. Crunchy Frogs
5. Peter Parkers
6. Diamond Merkins
7. Lunges
8. American Hammer

There are two red dice & 5 white dice. Roll them. The red dice tell you the number of burpees, the white dice tell you the number of exercises. Complete the burpees + exercises and run a lap around one building.  Start with SSH, and add the next exercise after each lap. Try to get through 8 laps (4 miles)

All PAX completed 7 laps & the elite among us completed the 8th set of reps but did not get to run a final lap, so 3.5 miles were run by all and between 43-51 burpees and 564-732 reps of all other exercises were completed. More on that below.

The dice were rolled in the following combinations:

1. 6/13
2. 5/20
3. 4/17
4. 4/21
5. 7/21
6. 8/16
7. 9/25
8. 8/21**

** not everyone completed this round of exercises. The 7th round was enough to do most present PAX in.

The usual suspects of Zima, H.O.G., Turnover, Cherry Pie, and Honey Badger led the way today. YHC was honored to be at or near the rear for the majority of the morning. Because I was trailing, I missed a lot of what I’m sure was colorful and enthusiastic MC. I did hear a few PAX praising the workout and calling for it again next year (but no sooner). Zima also admitted to being mad that he didn’t come up with this one.

Announcements included YHC’s continuing set of Qs, with Urban Assault tomorrow, IS on Saturday, and Dash Pax Ruckers on Sunday.  UA will be an attempt to reach 1,000 reps, IS will be an attempt to stay dry, and the Ruck will be an unintentional re-hash of last week’s ruck with a coffeeteria at Bagel Station afterwards.  H.O.G. has a birthday Q on Saturday and promises birthday treats for all in attendance.  Cherry Pie has Estate on Monday.

Prayers for Whirly’s M, diagnosed with pneumonia. Prayers for all PAX recovering from injury

H.O.G. took us out.
