Time for a quick history lesson.The Warden of the North, Tater Tot, decided to create a board of pain for Hurricanrana and any future North Durham sites. It’s a simple concept. The board has a list of exercises with insanely high exercises. The PAX that makes it furthest down the list at the end of the workout gets to take the Board of Pain and use it at a future Q. The BoP made its North Durham debut on October 10, 2018 with Chowdah taking home the prize. Chowdah then put the BoP back up for grabs on December 5, 2018 in what is known as the decimator. This is where YHC took home the prize. With the school year winding down and EOGs 2 days away, it was time to brush the dust off the board (seriously, it accumulated quite a bit living in my shed).
Warm-Up: All in Cadence

The Thang:
The Board of Pain was an intimidating presence as we completed our warm-up. Like Chowdah did before, YHC decided to put his own spin on the Board of Pain. Today we completed the exercises as a dora with a partner. The 12 PAX present partnered up into 6 pairs. The winning team would showdown in a tiebreaker. Here’s a list of the exercises attempted by the PAX.
- 50 Burpees
- 100 Catalina Wine Mixers
- 100 Donkey Kicks
- 200 LBCs
- 100 Squats
- 100 Flutters
- 100 Merkins
- 150 SSH
- 100 Jump Squats
- 200 Hammers
- 100 Shoulder Taps
Frozen Peas and Crean were in the midst of their shoulder taps when time was called and declared winners. YHC had the group mosey to the front of the school where our two winners would balls to the wall until one dropped. Despite the constant whining of “this can’t be good for my shoulder,” Frozen Peas took home the prize. Hopefully when he brings it back in the near future he will do some proper Catalina Wine Mixers.
