Going for 2

All good things have to come to an end.  That’s what they say.  For my Hokies it seems like that time has come.  As with most seasons, this one started off with such excitement.  We lost the first game to the defending national champs and then won the next 2.  Then the wheels fell off.  Since then we have only managed 1 win over the next 5 weeks.  That puts this team in a tough spot to keep the consecutive bowl game streak alive.  Time will tell.  As I sat on the couch on Saturday and watched the game come to an end, I began to use that pain to come up with today’s work out.  The Hokies lost on failed 2-pt conversion, so here is how it went down:

Jog the concrete circle around the fields, stopping 3 times:

• 1st Stop – Seal Jacks – 15IC
• 2nd Stop – Good Mornings – 15IC
• 3rd Stop – WWI Sit Ups – Feet Up The Hill – 15 OYO – Cold and refreshing on the wet grass
• Run to the Flags

Blue Devil Beast and a 2-Pt Conversion

6-Exercises/6-Reps at each of the 6 Cones and a 2-PT Conversion – 2 Burpees – to be completed after each 6 Reps (36 Reps of each exercise and 72 Total Burpees)

• Exercise 1 – MERKINS – Cousin It wanted to do Suicide Beast – not this time but thanks for the idea
• Exercise 2 – JUMP SQUATS
• Exercise 3 – DRY DOCKS – Several PAX members were looking for a time out or delay of game, if you watched the game on Saturday you know the Hokies can’t manage the clock and for once the penalties were under control
• Exercise 4 – WWII SIT UPS
• Exercise 5 – HAND RELEASE MERKINS – By this point most of the mumble chatter had faded away
• Exercise 6 – HALLELUJAH’S – X4 FOR 4OT (24 reps at each cone – 144 total reps)
• OT – Needing 28 Burpees to make 100, we did 7 at each of four cones to reach the goal – who else starts their day with 100 Burpees – Mellow Johnny maybe??

Shout out to the PAX today for pulling me along.  For some reason I was dragging along the whole time, but they did not lose faith in the Q and we made it through.
