Heavy Day Battle for the Ghost Flag at the Equalizer

THE SCENE: Gloomy, but not too humid
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Done and done 
WARM-O-RAMA:

Basic Blindside-y warmup things: SSH, LBAC each way, This, That, tempo squats
THA-THANG:
Sometimes things change. Because it was a heavy day, the Q was expecting a lower number in attendance. What he forgot was that the Ghost Flag was in attendance… so we had visitors.

Quick Mosey to Picnic Table near the Tennis Courts and partner up. Each group will draw a card from the deck, multiply the number of the card by 10 (all face cards are “10” and Aces are “15). Each group is in charge of completing that number of reps of each exercise represented by card suit. Jokers are automatically 25 squats with either the 40# or 60# sandbag on shoulders.

  • Spades: Lunges and Imperial Squat Walkers
  • Clubs: Merkins and 2 count Shoulder Taps
  • Diamonds: BBS and American Hammers
  • Hearts: Flutter Kicks and Hello Dollys

After all the cards were taken, each group were asked to “give up” their highest, lowest, and one other card of their choosing back to the pile.

Once time was called, all of the Shamrock & Asylum PM combined their cards into piles and played a game of WAR. After one round, Shamrock ended with 23 cards and Asylum PM ended with 6. Each group did that # of burpees. Equalizer guys joined in to help.

Asylum PM grabbed the Ghost Flag having 5 guys at the workout!

Chasing Light Poles

THE SCENE: Upper 50s and dry
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

Some stretching and warming was accomplished.
THA-THANG:
Run to a light pole and do 10 jump squats, 10 merkins, and 3 burpees.  Run to the next light pole and do the same set of exercises, same reps.  Run to the next light pole, etc.  Once back at the first pole, do 23 SSHs on a 4 count.  Then repeat until time.  There were 19 stops per lap around the park, but we did some light poles twice because we passed them both ways.  Most of us made it to 24 light poles, but Snitch and Mouthwash made it to 27.  Potato Head had to leave early or he would have done 30 something.

Fellowship mosey back to the AO.

We had time to do ATMs to cash out before the weekend.
