Hitting for the “Cycle”

October 31, 2018

WHEN: 10/31/2018
QIC: @toast_McQueen
PAX: @nickelback, @nubbin, @buffay, @cortez, @milton, @mozungu, @pusher

Halloween is upon us and with that YHC had the Q in the gloom on a cool and clear October morn.  As the PAX began to arrive we all noticed a new guy with some really awesome Billy Rae Cyrus/crazy lady hair.  But upon further review we discovered it was just @pusher with a wig.  And with that information in hand we began by warming up.

Warm-up

10 Tappy-Tap-Taps, 10 Overhead claps and 10 seal claps, 10 WMH’s, 20 SSH, 5 penalty burpees for all in honor of the late comers @buffay and @milton

The Thang

YHC had PAX mosey to the gym entrance where we partnered up for some Tammy Wynette “Stand by Your Man”.  For the uninformed this is alternating 10 merkins and 10 squats.  One partner does one and one the other and you repeat until the Q stops or in my case I finish singing the song in my head.  We did about 120 per group.

After that we mosied to the baseball diamond in honor of @nubbin and his joy from the Red Sox world series win.  YHC told PAX we were going for the Cycle.  That is to bear crawl  to first base do 3 burpees and crawlbear back to home plate, then bear crawl to 2nd and do 6 burpees and crawl bear back to home.  And so on and so on.  YHC was gassed after the double so for the home run we lunge walked around and did 12 burpees together.  It was not fun.  After that YHC had Pax sprint from home plate to the right field warning track then do 15 merkins.  We then repeated the sprint back to home with merkins and back to the track again with merkins.  Now YHC was even more gassed.  YHC had told PAX that the 2nd sprint to the warning track was the last so to really push it.  YHC had intended to “trick” the PAX and make everyone do one more sprint back to home plate but decided to “treat” the PAX instead and just mosey to the fence for mary.

We mosied to a fence and did 3 versions of feet on the fence crunches then mosied back to the parking lots at 6:15
