YHC’s Green Egg and Crab Cake saw an opportunity to share our enthusiasm about the looming college football season with the PAX. There were dreams of Brent Musburger’s silky smooth voice and Kirk Herbstreit’s boyish good looks soon gracing our TV’s. A football induced madness would ensue.
Warm- Up: YHC/Crab Cake would take the 1st half of the ME. Being a Virginia Tech alum YHC wanted to share the tradition of the Enter Sandman entrance that the Hokies have used since 2000. This always gets the crowd hyped and YHC was looking to bring some hype to the gloom.
While Enter Sandman is playing & PAX are jumping up and down we mixed in various exercises until the song was over. 5 Burpees OYO, Carolina Dry Docks, Merkins, Lunges, Squats, Low Plank Hold, Spidermans, & 5 more burpees OYO.
The Thang: The parking lot served as our pseudo Grid-Iron for the coming competitions. PAX broke off into 2 teams.
Competition 1:
-Sprint to 50 yard mark. Perform 25 merkins with team. Sprint back to goal line.
-Sprint to 50 yard mark. Perform 25 Carolina Dry Docks. Sprint back to goal line.
-Sprint to 100 yard mark. Perform 50 jump squats. Sprint back to goal line.
-Sprint to 100 yard mark. Perform 50 mountain climbers. Sprint back to goal line.
First team to return won the competition.
Competition 2: Keeping same teams.
-Split each team in half. One half will hold plank starting at the 1 yard line. They will hold the plank while awaiting their team mates to complete exercises that allow them to bear crawl towards the far goal line. Once their mates complete 25 reps of Merkins, Dry Docks, Jump Squats, and Mountain Climbers, the PAX will have bear crawled the length of the lot. Sprint back to the goal line and switch places. The bear crawlers are now performing the 4 exercises and vice versa.
First team to finish both rounds wins.
Green Egg then took over. The PAX stayed in their teams and we Ricky Bobby’d to the back of the school. Keeping with the football theme, Green Egg thought we would do some 40 yard dashes. While one man ran the 40, the PAX from each team would do an exercise:
-Round 1- Captain Morgan (Green Egg is an ECU fan. Tried to go pirate route)
-Round 2- Carolina Dry Docks (figure we’d throw UNC in)
-Round 3- Bobby Hurleys (because Duke is still a basketball school)
-Round 4- 2 PAX at a time would run together.
We then moseyed back to the front for an ECU themed Mary. Going back to VT’s enter sandman, Green Egg thought he’d use ECU entrance, Purple Haze- Jimmy Hendrix. Each time the phrase “Purple Haze” was mentioned, we would change the exercise. Throughout the song the PAX did: Freddy Mercury, LBCs, WWII, Flutters, and ended with a six inch leg hold.
COT: prayers for Tater Tot and his wife as they navigate dealing with an insurance company for son’s surgery earlier in the year.
