On Monday we did a beatdown choreographed to an inspiring yet irrational story from SAAS about adventurers. Today we mostly just did stuff on hills while the Q came up with random facts about some mountains. So basically the same thing.

WARMUP: moving warmup with mosey in between SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies, willie mays hayes, cherry pickers, michael phelps, down dog, world’s greatest, ending at The Hill

THE THANG:
1. Warm up in honor of the original reconnaissance missions to Mt Everest. 1/3, 2/3 and all the way up the hill.
2. DORA. In honor of the support team for Hillary and Norgay ( 362 porters, 20 Sherpa guides, 10,000 of baggage) we did 100 merkins, 200 OH claps, 300 LBCs while partner runs up the hill.
3. Bernie up the hill while partner does mountain climbers. Mosey to the parking lot.
4. In honor of Annapurna (32% death rate) and K2 (23% death rate), suicides x2. Mosey to the arena.
5. To commemorate some random facts about Hillary and Norgay, derkins and box jumps. For the 14 “eight thousanders” (peaks >8km, highly recommend the movie 14 Peaks), 14 Bonnie’s IC. For the Seven Summits (highest peak on each of the 7 continents, Everest, Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro, Vinson, Elbrus, Kosciuszko) minus the three that the PAX could name) we did 11 burpees. Mosey back to the shovel flag.

MARY: American Hammers, WWIs, tempo dirty dogs

ANNOUNCEMENTS: See the channel – hike this weekend, ARC coming up, HOYA-PAXA moving to a Thursday launch, coming soon

COT: Men have always had an explorer gene. Why climb Everest? Because it was there. But why does the second guy do it? Why do people still climb mountains all over the world? Why do 505 burpees on a Saturday. Because doing hard things makes you stronger, and something about it very weirdly feels good. Keep pushing yourself to do hard things.
