Becoming a Three-Sport Letter Winner

May 31, 2018

WHEN: 05/30/2018
QIC: Soybean
PAX: Buffay, Cortez, Limburger, Nickelback, Pusher, Soybean, Toast McQueen

YHC had completely flubbed the prior week’s Q and needed to make up for it with something especially memorable for the faithful PAX at The Skunk. Working theme was “Become a Three Sport Letter Winner.” Also, since Buffay had recently returned from a southern civil rights tour, YHC felt inspired to incorporate activities that honored civil rights athlete-activists.

WARM-UP

  • SSH x 20
  • Good Mornings x 10
  • WMH x 10
  • Chinooks x 10 x reverse

THE THANG

Scene 1: The Baseball Field

  • Jackie Robinsons = 3 shuffles then sprint to each base, 14 Mountain Climbers IC @ 1st, 2nd and 3rd (= #42 jersey). 20 Merkins @ Home Plate (to honor Jackie’s 20 out of 32 successful steals of home)
  • Chase the Ball = PAX tosses baseball into outfield, then all sprint to it.
  • “Grounder, Fly” = 14 full (both arms) down on “Grounder”, jump on “Fly” alternating arms
  • Chase the Ball 2 = PAX throws all home, 14 Carolina Dry Docks
  • Bat and Run = PAX hits to outfield, all run to it and do 14 more “Grounder, Fly” (to remain un-named PAX whiffed twice, which led to 10 burpee penalty)
  • All PAX earned their letter in baseball – congratulations.

Scene 2: The Football Field

  • Colin Kaepernicks (#7) = PAX throws football as far as he can, all take a knee (aka lunge walk) to it
  • Erik Reid (#35) = PAX throws football again, all backpedal then shuffle quickly to ball
  • Celebrate touchdown with 7 burpees and 7 tire turnovers
  • Another set of Colin Kaepernick and Erik Reids to other end of field
  • Celebrate touchdown with 35 Mountain Climbers
  • All PAX earn their letter in football (side note: Coach Limburger say’s it not that easy)
  • Recent article on Kaepernick I found thought-provoking (note: not meaning to be political here)

Scene 3: The Parking Lot (aka Makeshift Basketball Court)

  • Kareem Abdul-Jabbars (#33) = PAX in single file line, front man does two sky hooks of basketball into wall (must hit 18 inch jutting brick each time), rest of men perform calf raises = must hit #33 in sum
  • Plank and Dribble = PAX plank while one man dribbles basketball length of parking lot; each man gets chance to play point
  • All PAX earn their letter in basketball

MARY

  • Partner Up and pass balls back and forth in WW1s x 33
  • “We Are the Champions” Ring of Fire = Do Freddie Mercuries x 6 per PAX for duration of song

 

PRAYER

  • Correct me here, but I believe it was Pusher who shared that he and his M are expecting a baby.
  • YHC asked for safety at beach on upcoming trip
  • Nickelback lifted us up and prayed us out
