YHC conspired with Abu last week at a Stadium beat down led by Hot Pursuit, to switch sites as a Q. Abu would lead #MASH and YHC would lead #RunStrong… Sounded like a better 1-2 punch than Shaq and Kobe! YHC did some planning beforehand on the distance the PAX would cover, but still be able to stay together as a group. YHC arrived a few minutes before the 0530 green flag was waved to start our trek.
Warm Up
- High Knees IC x 15
- Butt Kicks IC x 15
The Thang
- YHC instructed PAX to mosey to the corner of Elm and 5th. YHC led Mountain Climbers IC for the six. Then mosey to Wilkerson Funeral Home on 5th. At this point, their was rampant mumblechatter regarding the idea of “checking into” the funeral home… YHC led Plank-o-rama for the six.
- The PAX were instructed to form small groups based on their speed. The 1-mile track with 4 corners had been set. Starting at Brownlea, go down and take a left on 4th Street, head all the way down to Elm and take a left, and another immediate left on 5th Street.
- YHC instructed the PAX groups to choose their exercise of 15 reps on 3 of the 4 corners
- The 4th corner, the PAX had to complete 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 jump squats, and 20 LBCs.
- The PAX completed 2 laps of this loop.
It was sometime during the second lap that Tonka, through conversation, inspired me to get a little wicked/evil/villainous as the Q. Tonka mentioned “Sometimes the Q just has to be a little evil.” YHC may have been more than just a little evil, but the last 10 minutes of the beat down led to one heck of an adrenaline rush!
When the PAX finished their 2 laps around the 4 corners loop, YHC and other PAX members herded the PAX back to the corner of Elm and 5th.
- Burpee Drill Line…. YHC then instructed the PAX to form a straight line and create space between the PAX in front and behind of you.
- As the PAX, moseyed back to the flag, each PAX member yelled “DOWN!” for the entire line to stop, complete a burpee, and get up to continue running.
- YHC eventually commandeered the yelling of “DOWN!” and used it very frequently on the trek back to the flag.
Who knows how many burpees were performed…..
