7 men eagerly awaited. YHC pulled in on two wheels with -1 minute to spare. Manhole might have started planning out another emergency Q…or putting YHC in the emergency room. Into the frost and gloom, we began with the…

Warm-o-rama:

Mosey to our favorite coupon spot and set up on the track

The Thang:

Circle Merks

  • 7 incline merkins on the coupon – turn 90 degrees
  • 7 merkins with right hand on coupon left hand on ground – turn 90 degrees
  • 7 merkins with feet on the coupon – turn 90 degrees
  • 7 merkins with left hand on coupon right hand on ground
  • Run 400 meters (Sudsy learned that a lap is 400 meters…)
  • 10 Thrusters
  • Rinse and Repeat 4 Times

Switchboard set the tone and pace.

After completing and with the PAX properly warmed up, we moseyed over to the bottom of Vanderlyn hill for some teamwork.

Burpback Mountain

  • Partner up
  • Partner A does burpees
  • Partner B runs backward uphill to the stop sign, forward down the hill. Partners switch
  • Continue doing until each partner has completed 50 burpees

In the true spirit of teamwork, early finishers had the opportunity to help others complete the 50. With time running short, we did a quick mosey back to the flagpole where we had the joy of seeing Team Mom leading 6am crew in a spirited beatdown.

Potter took us out with prayers for unity, love, and peace

Beatdown Poetry

Slow circle ’round block
Fun run four times ’round the block
Burp, back, ugh…we done?
