Something About Sandy

8 WMH IC

THE THANG:
Break into teams of 2

Intro: This is Sandy (70 lb sandbag) and we’ll be trying to earn her affection.

Now, Sandy loves things to be a little rough. So…

Team 1: PAX 1 throws sandy from one end of b-ball count to the other while PAX 2 does the F3 male mating ritual (lunge walk), switch roles on the way back

Sandy loves to be with 2 PAX at the same time so the teams must stick together for the throwing/walking.

Sandy also loves to be fawned over, so when the team gets back to the dot, PAX 1 takes Sandy and runs away with her to the other end of the b-ball court then runs back, where PAX 2 then takes her and does the same

All the while, the other teams will be in the corner trying to impress Sandy as well by doing:

15 chest press OYO, 15 squats OYO, 15 merkins OYO, 15 LBC OYO

It’s a race to see who can finish first, the two man team or the group doing PT. Loser gets 10 burpees to try to impress Sandy and increase their standing with her, while the winners get to bask in glory of the win and only get 5 burpees

Next team goes

Lastly, as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, 1 mosey around the field without Sandy.
