Big Dice

QIC: Subfloor

Date: 7/5/2023

PAX: Zima, Cruiser, Splash, Burlap, Workbench, Subfloor (QIC)

When YHC arrived at the gloriously relaxing AO of Mayhem, he was glad it was still gloomy. It would be unbearable to endure the sun like we did the day before at July the Fourth convergence. After surveying the main parking lot and the lack of visible lines, YHC ran down to the lower lot which has much better painted lines. Could it be from all the rocks sliding around? Nah. I ran back to my car to grab the three large dice (compensating?) and strategically set them down in the middle of the lower lot.

Workbench had arrived before the YHC and probably thought the schedule Q had lost his mind. It was probably confirmed at the end of the workout. The rest of the PAX arrived for a total of six, which was perfect for a dice themed beatdown.

The Thang:

After we were officially warm and lost 2 pounds of water, YHC thought a brisk run up the hill to nowhere would cool us down. At the top, we were still near boiling point, so 5 burpees were warranted. On the way back down, we picked up a rock (or should I say stone Robert Zimmerman?) and headed to the lower parking lot. Always remember to pick the Goldilocks rock, YHC will offer no help or guidance.

We met at the middle of the lot where YHC had placed the dice. Everyone was very impressed with the Q’s very large and well-proportioned dice. All three of them.

The Big Dice consisted of one normal dice with numbers 1-6. The second one had stationary exercises: Burpee, Bus Driver, Skull Crusher, WW2, Plank Jack, Merkin. The third one had mobile exercises: Murder Bunny, Resurrection Bunny, Bear Crawl, Crawl Bear, Forward Lunge, Backward Lunge. Yes, all sides were different, no repeats.

As Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man was playing, we lined up on the middle parking space line and Workbench did the first roll. Whatever the number was rolled, was the amount of reps for the stationary exercise and the number of lines we did for mobile exercise. Yes, you had to bring your rock with you. So depending on the roll, we moved forward or backward.

If we broke out of the parking lot with our roll, we ran to the top of the hill to nowhere and did 5 burpees, came back and started over in the middle. Fortunately we only had to do this 3 times. We also proved that you can do murder bunnies with a rock.

I guess I could have called this the Rock and Roll workout, maybe next time.

Only had time for Penguin Crunches.

NMM

• Splash thought Zima was impressed with his form on merkins since there were no sly comments.
• Zima questioned his rock choice when Bus Drivers were rolled, over and over again.
• Workbench was wondering if he could get an order of dice from YHC, but YHC thought he could do a lot better making his own.
• Burlap and YHC didn’t get to converse together as much at this Mayhem, we’ll have to save it for next time.
• Cruiser said he was sore from being on vacation last week and jumping right back into 1776, Crash’s four trips up the hill, and three trips today. I couldn’t tell, he was still killing it.
