3/14 is commonly known as Pi day. Some quick facts about Pi for the uninformed. Pi or π is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. It is famously known as an irrational number because its decimal expansion never terminates and never repeats. We commonly approximate pi for calculations as 3.14 or 22/7. 8 PAX in total, including one FNG, joined YHC to celebrate Pi Day.

The Thang
YHC lead the PAX out of Seawell and along what my cross country runners know as the red gate trail. This connected us to the fire trail that runs behind Seawell and Smith, and then we carefully made our way down the hill.
Locale 1: The Outdoor Classroom
I think it was a boy scout troop that constructed this little area, but I’m not 100% certain. The outdoor classroom is a large grouping of wooden benches. Saluting Pi day, we did 3 sets of 14 reps of dips (cadence count) and bulgarian squats.
Locale 2: Smith Patio Rock Garden
We continued our fellowship pace on the trail that lead us past Smith’s recess field, and across the back of the school. In a little corner is a small rock garden that Podrick and YHC assembled this year for our wrestlers. Every PAX was instructed to grab a rock. We did seven exercises with 22 reps each. If PAX had a one-handed rock they split the reps to do 11 on each hand.
- Overhead press
- Bent-over rows
- Tricep Extensions
- Curls for the girls (Foghorn went and found a better rock for this one)
- Body Weight Squats
- Shoulder raises
- American Hammer
Locale 3: Bus Parking Lot
The parking lot is adjacent to the patio so know journey necessary. We gorilla crawled along the bus loop stopping at each tree to perform 5 jump squats. There were a lot of trees, too many trees.
We then jogged out of the Smith parking lot and along Seawell School Road back to our shovel flag at Seawell. Just in time for some core work.
