THE THANG: After a brief fellowship lap the PAX gathered around the circle at the 50 yard line to learn the true meaning of Festivus: a non denominational holiday filled with one sided ridicule and mindless physical tests of strength. Also, there was an aluminum pole. • The tradition of Festivus began with the Airing of Grievances:
The QIC had a lot of problems with a select few PAX, and now they were going to hear about it! The QIC barked the ways in which they had disappointed him over the past year. After each name was read, and an appropriate insult hurled, a merkin was performed collectively by the group. • As Festivus rolled on, we came to the Feats of Strength:
PAX lined up in pairs on the 50 yard line. Each team took turns carrying the festivus pole to the goal line while the other team member did a high knee, jubilant skip alongside of him. Switching positions at the goal line. The remaining PAX performed a number of exercises while waiting their turns: Mountain Climbers, Star Jumps, LBC’s, Heisman Shuffle, Bonnie Blair’s • Pull up bar – 3 rounds, 10 reps each, remaining PAX performs o Soccer kicks
o Peter Parkers
o Freddie Mercuries
o Dips
o Break Dancers
• Short mosey to the bike racks, aka Bear Crawl arches where we…well….Bear crawled under the bike racks.
• 3 rounds 20 Derkins, 20 Bulgarian Split Squats (1 round we did step ups b/c my legs hurt)
