8 PAX gathered in the gloom; perhaps some others were scared away by the possibility of thunderstorms that never materialized.
We began with a standard Warm-up
- SSH x25
- Imperial walker x12
- LBAC/reverse x12
- Hillbilly x12
- WMH x12
- Michael Phelps x12
PAX then moseyed down toward the Tennis Courts, stopping along the ramp to grab some rail. The first exercise was a pyramid of Australian push-ups. Have heard these called “Australian pull-ups” also, but since they are like a Merkin but reversed “down-under”, YHC went with “Australian push-ups.” Either way, we did these as Negatives – pulling up on the “1” count, and slowly lowering back down on “2, 3, 4.”
- PAX completed a Pyramid of reps 1-7-1.
We then moved on to the picnic shelter for alternating sets of Box Jumps and Merkins, done as a stepped pyramid
- 5 Box Jump
- 5 Merkins
- 10 Box Jumps
- 10 Merkins
- 15 Box Jumps
- 15 Merkins
- 20 Box Jumps
- 20 Merkins
- 15 Box Jumps
- 15 Merkins
- 10 Box Jumps
- 10 Merkins
- 5 Box Jump
- 5 Merkins
Back out the Tennis Courts for a little bit of travelling.
- PAX Bear Crawled from the start to the end of Court 6, escalating Carolina Dry Docks at each court – 1 CDD at court 1, up to 6 CDDs at court 6
- Crawl Bear back, descending Carolina Dry Docks – 6 CDDs at court 6, 1 CDD at court 1
Mosey over for our next set.
- Q: What has roots as nobody sees, Is taller than trees, Up, up it goes, And yet never grows?
- A: Tar Heel Warrior Mountain!
We moseyed down to the very bottom, then did a backward run up the first segment. Stopped for a Jack Jack Webb
- 1 Merkin, 1 Plank Jack, 2 Overhead claps
- Continue ascending in the same ratio until: 7 Merkins, 7 Plank Jacks, 14 Overhead claps
Sprint up to the parking lot, Jack Jack Webb back down the pyramid
- 6 Merkins, 6 Plank Jacks, 12 Overhead claps –> 1 Merkin, 1 Plank Jack, 2 Overhead claps
Had planned to Lt. Dan to the tree line, but time was short, so we just sprinted there instead. Amble back to the center of the parking lot for
Mary
- Flutter Kick x 50
- Heels to Heaven x 20
- Ring of Fire – 4 shoulder taps/man
Announcements – The Bull! See Slack.
