18 friends, romans, and countrymen lent their ears, along with their bodies, to Cougar Football field for the Ides of March. The pre-blast promised:

Beware the Ides of March! Important numbers for tomorrow’s workout:
– 44 BC in honor of the year Caesar was murdered, aka Regicide
– 23 being number of times Caesar was stabbed
– 1599 being the year experts believe Shakespeare wrote the play Julius Caesar

Therefore, several of the countrymen were already in revolt that we not attempt 1599 of anything. Fear not my fellow Romans.

Warm-up: 15 SSH, 15 Merkins,15 BMH, 15 Arm-circles

THE THANG:

Mosey to field for 44 BC in honor of the year Caesar was murdered, aka Regicide. 44 Burpees in a Corner, run to each corner and do 11 burpees to total to 44.

Trivia was given after each return to the starting corner. If Pax guessed incorrectly then Spooky picked the exercise, if correctly then a Democracy picked the exercise for the next 44 reps (11 in each corner).

In the end, 44 burpees, 44 merkins, 44 Roman get-ups (WWIIs), 44 squats.

Then after our fourth trip around the field, we needed only two corners to hit 1599 yards of running. Therefore, we switched to 23 reps in each of two corners. (To represent the 23 times that Caesar was stabbed.)

23 Homer-to-Marge, 23 Flutters

Mosey to picnic tables. Final trivia with 23 dips for wrong answers and 23 step-ups for correct answers.

Finish with Mary. 23 flutters for the group. However, pax must raise their hand for final trivia (true / false). Wrong answer meant 5 burpees before joining in flutters.
