Tunnel of Payne, and ball toss madness

AO: Olympus

QIC: Hightower & Jenner

PAX: NAFTA, Maj. Payne, Jenner, Mule, Snappy Lunch & Hightower

Warmup:
Started with fellowship jog around the school, then 30 SSH, Good Mornings, Rockettes, Downward Dog&Merkins. Followed by Paint the Line straddle, more jogging, then Broad jumping parking stalls.

The Thang:
Once we arrived to the back side of the high school, we started Tunnel of Payne: each member in Derkin position, then 5 merkins, followed by first PAX bear crawl under rest of PAX holding high plank. Then rinse & repeat until we made it to end of courtyard.

Then the PAX continued to jog past tennis courts, football stadium, stopping at multi purpose field. Here Jenner took over the Q!

Waiting for the PAX aim field were 2, 20# medicine balls. First the PAX lined up on center line, using both balls passing each down the line and tossing to next PAX, last man jogged to other side. We continued until we reached the opposite end of field. Then Jenner introduced penalty if any ball dropped of 5 burpees. On the return trip we spread the distance between PAX, which created many opportunities for penalties. Then final pass, PAX tossed balls behind over head, simultaneously. Again creating many opportunities for additional penalties.

Next the PAX moseyed to the end line, splitting into 2, 3 man teams each with 1 ball. Each team would race to the other end line, squat thrusting the ball forward. Then round 2, we switched balls to see if that mattered, found out it really did not. Then round 3, teams would toss balls over head backwards. Final round we alternated team members after each toss.

Mary:
Big boy sit-ups with ball, then toss to next PAX. Ring of Fire with both balls, PAX would do 2 merkins switching ball placement for hand to hand once ball arrived, then pass to next PAX. Next round ball on feet, then pass to next PAX.

COT:
Congrats to PAX that completed Ragnar. Congrats to Mule on upcoming promotion. Welcome back Maj Payne & NAFTA! Best of luck to PAX doing Army 10 Miler on Sun!

Ask and You Shall Receive!

AO: The Patriot

QIC: Co-Q VQ BP & Prince Harry

The PAX: Prince Harry, BP, Noodle, Hightower, Horsepunch, Dr. D, Prenup, SubPrime, Deflator, Lucius, Speedo & Bone

Warmup: Three laps, starting off easy and working in some striders on the straightaways. Moved into the warmup circle with every other person delegating an exercise. Finished with high knees and butt kickers across the field

The Thang:
Jog over to “the hill” for repeats. 4 hills with 10 merkins at the bottom and 15, 14, 13, 12 squat thrusters at the top. Motto for the day is “ask and you shall receive”. Prince Harry wanted a puker and he sure got it, throwing up on the transition from hill to field.

BP took over, moseying back to center field for a team relay race. Splitting up into 2 teams, everyone started, one at a time, racing to the pullup bars, knocking out 10 pullups, coming back to the field and broad jumping from end zone to mid-field and finishing with 5 wolverines. Each subsequent team member started when the preceding finishing pullups.

Mary:
BP started with cherry pickers, then went around the circle for little bitty crunches, flutter kicks, high plank shoulder taps and J-Horsepunch sending us off with 25 double count merkins that I believe only he was able to complete.

CoT: Thanks for being here for my VQ. Great work out. Shout out to Prince Harry for the CO-Q. Every day is blessing. Be your best person. Have a blessed day. Amen
