Mosey lap around the lawn of World’s Fair Park (almost back to SP, stopping short).  Two CMU’s hidden in the bushes are brought into the open for a little block and forth (routine stolen and just slightly modified from Wax Job’s Bucket List).  PAX split into two groups, one remains in place the other jogs to other side of the World’s Fair Park Lawn.  One PAX will carry both CMU’s across the lawn, and start the group on a new exercise once they arrive.  Exercise is performed AMRAP until relief comes with CMU’s and new exercise.  Both sides start with SSH.  Exercises as follows:

  • Merkins
  • Big boy situps
  • Mountain climbers
  • Carolina dry docks

Go through routine until all PAX have carried CMUs across the lawn twice, essentially ending up back where everyone started.  Recover and 10 count. Stash CMUs and mosey toward WFP amphitheater.  Apologize in advance and burpee broadjump up the ramp on the back side of the amphitheater.  Recover and 10 count.

PAX pair up for next routine.  Partner A remains at the top of the amphitheater, alternating between 10 rows on the handrails and 10 diamond merkins.  Partner B runs down the far side of the hill to the semi-circular benches looking over the pond and performs 10 box jumps before running back up to the top of the amphitheater.  Flapjack and repeat switching exercises and running until time called.  Recover and 10 count.

Reverse lunge back down the other side of the amphitheater towards start point, stopped at the bottom for Al Gore until everyone finished.  Mosey back SP for Mary.
