Although Halloween is technically next Wednesday, celebrations for the holiday will start for many of us this weekend.  The PAX had an opportunity this morning to get warmed up for the occasion. Four showed up for a 30-minute EC ruck around downtown Durham (Chubbs, Richard Simmons, Toolbox, and Beano).  All other PAX collectively met at the City Hall entrance at 5:30 AM to get things started.

WARM UP (Completed in sync to Michael Jackson’s Thriller):

• SSH, Seal Claps, Goof Balls, Merkins, Arm Circles, Squats, SSH, Seal Claps, Goof Balls, and Burpees….lots of them

MAIN EVENT:

• The Devil’s Triangle???
  • All PAX grabbed a coupon from Beano’s truck and walked, keeping the coupon overhead, to the triangular road median to the side of City Hall
  • At each corner of the triangle, PAX completed 6 reps of a lower body exercise, 6 reps of a core exercise, and 6 reps of an upper body exercise.  Exercises called by the Q are listed below in no particular order.
    • Carolina Dry Docks
    • Front/Back Lunges
    • Flutter Kicks (one set with coupon extended out front)
    • Merkins/Derkins
    • Coupon/KB Swings
    • Mountain Climbers
    • Bicep Curls
    • etc.
  • After completing three exercises in each corner, the Q called a method of travel to the next corner of the Devil’s Triangle.  Methods of travel used are listed below in no particular order.
    • Bear Crawl
    • Crawl Bear
    • Crab Walk
    • Lunge Walk w/ coupon
    • 6 steps, then coupon burpee, 6 steps, then coupon burpee, 6 steps,…
    • 6 steps, then 6 push presses, 6 steps, then 6 push presses,…

NOTE: The deception, mystery, and trickery of Halloween were definitely in the air.  This was evident as on three separate occasions Beano was adamant that there were four corners to the road median, even though there were clearly three.

• After a few times around the Devil’s Triangle, PAX carried all coupons back across the street to Beano’s truck.  However, each PAX completed 6 right arm rows, 6 left arm rows, 6 deadlifts, and 6 push presses before putting the coupons in the truck bed.
