There are so many punishers among us, but due to the limitations of time, I could only purloin my Q from a few of the best…..
Warm-o-rama in the normal fashion of a dozen reps, so I could represent “The 11” appropriately.
Warm up mosey to the track where we ran one lap followed by a second lap theat included at each corner…….10 heels to heaven at the first corner, then 10 heels to heaven, 20 plank jacks at the second corner, then 10 heels to heaven, 20 plank jacks, 30 pickle pounders at the third corner, then 10 heels to heaven, 20 plank jacks, 30 pickle pounders, 40 Freddy Mercury’s at the fourth corner. A nod to Cherry Pie.
The Huckleberry Death Star at the field inside the track. One cone in the middle and five cones setup 30 yards from the middle cone…..5 burpees at the center cone, 15 wide merkins at the first cone, back to the center cone for 5 burpees, on to the second cone for 15 wide merkins, back to the center cone for 5 burpees, etc. and end with 5 burpees at the center cone. I believe Drip mentioned that the merkin number should have been 10, and I agreed, so we repeated the same pattern of 5 burpees at the center, but 10 merkins at each of the 5 outer cones. Thanks Huckleberry.
Moseyed to The Intimidator for Quadrophenia. 5 rocking chair lunges each leg at the bottom, 20 jump squats at the first stop sign, 20 squats at the second stop, and 20 pickle pounders at the top. Mode of ambulation was the backward mosey up, up, up. Ran to the bottom and stopped at each stop to repeat the same exercises til we were back at the park. My quads say thank you to Mutton.
Avoiding the mud, we were at the playground where we partnered up to trade two rounds of 15 reverse rows under the swings while the partner did step ups at the stone wall.
Time was running short and I had forgotten to pick up the Huckleberry Death Star cones, so we returned to the scene of the crime and did one last round with 3 burpees at the center and 10 merkins at each outer cone(this was negotiated to 3 from 5, where is Cobra when I need him).
Moseyed back to the launch sit for a tiny Mary and a Thistle with 24 merkins.
No announcements or specific prayer concerns, so I sent us home with the covering of the Lord.
Thoughts…..Palin must come to all workouts at all sites, he makes this tough and entertaining somehow. Beau Staph lapped us on most of what we did – strong work as always. Tweetie Bird has become a regular who takes a back seat to no one. Lamb Chop can do more with lentils than anyone I know. Drama Queen sets the steady beat to the beatdown. Blue Steel has become the elite overall producer and looks good doing it. Drip is super consistent on the daily grind, he is everywhere. Buy Out has the most fun and joy.
I am humbled that no matter the mix, the turn out, the weather, the circumstances, this is the best part of my day. Every one of you are crucial to each other. Key back at you, Palin.
