THE THANG: The Q is celebrating another revolution around the sun, so he decided to do his favorite beatdown. It is kind of a crowd source/ distributed leadership Q. Good opportunity for everyone of the PAX to lead the cadence count. Also, allot of repeats of (usually) difficult exercises.Thang 1: Mosey to the place set and split into 3 groups.
Group A- Merkins (AMRAP)
Group B- Pull Ups (AMRAP)
Group C- 5 Burpees (Timer group)While Group C is doing the burpees, Group A and B do there exercise AMRAP. When Group C is complete rotate, rinse, and repeat. We did 2 full rotations. Got the PAX blood flowing for the main eventThang 2: Mosey to the circle. Line up in a circle. Due to time constraint the Q had 5 random PAX select there favorite exercises. And the nominees where:
Slice- American Hammers
Balboa- Burpees
Lilo- Elevator Merkins
Boo Boo- Motivators
Biscuit- LBCs
The Thang is doing those 5 exercises in an increasing number of reps, but each round a different PAX will lead the cadence count of the exercise. After completing 1 set of the 5 exercises the PAX will mosey halfway around the circle. At that point we will complete another set of the 5 exercises, but 2 reps with a different PAX counting cadence for each exercise. After a completed set mosey another half circle, rinse and repeat until time runs out. We were able to complete 7 reps. That gave each PAX 2 or 3 times to take the lead and count cadence for an exercise. Some attempts better than others!
MARY: no time

COT: Prayers for Milestone, Prayers for Knievel’s son (Travis) with a broken arm. The Q expressed his gratitude to the men and the group at large. He reflected on previous birthdays, especially last year doing the GTE. There were comments about the Q finally looking his age. Always an honor to lead and suffer along side each man.
