The Thang:
It was a cold and windy morning, but the Q was already warm and ready after the Early Bird Special. Today’s beatdown was a collection of different circuits.
3 Thangs: Singleton Out, Low and Slow, Dragon Arms
We moseyed from the flag to the pavilion near the playset by way of going around the circle.
Thang 1: Singleton Out
Not the most creative name. The PAX circled up. 1 PAX would run to the playset and perform 10 reps of a certain exercise, while the remaining PAX performed a different exercise to failure. Each time the singleton remained another PAX would run to the playset, rinse and repeat until all PAX performed the singleton exercise. There were 3 sets.
Set 1: Singleton Exercise: 10 Underdogs Group: Hand Release Merkins
Set 2: Singleton Exercise: 10 Swing Merkin (Swerkins?, feet up on swing) Group: DIPs
Set 3: Singleton Exercise: 10 Pull Ups Group: High Plank
Thang 2: Low and Slow
Another not so creative name (a bit deceiving as well!).
The PAX moseyed from the Pavilion to the straight a-way. The PAX will line up on there chests at the light pole. The Q would say GO at which point the PAX would perform a travel exercise to the next pole. Once at the next pole a stationary exercised would be perform and the PAX would return to there chests ready for the next round.
Pole 1: Sprint to next Pole and 50 Squats
Pole 2: Bear Crawl to next Pole and 10 Diamond Merkins
Pole 3: Inch Worm (or some type of inching worm) ad 10 Dry Docks
Turn around and repeat to the end of the poles.
Thang 3: Dragon Arms
Unfortunately we ran short of time, so we did not perform the final Thang. It will remain a mystery until the next time.
Mosey back to the flag
