INTRODUCTION:
We started out the morning in a nice mist of a rain but the PAX was undaunted. Apparently there was much anticipation for the upcoming festivities. Got the disclaimer, mission statement, core principles and credo done and then started the fun. This beatdown was inspired by my first Yard beatdown that was Q’d by Maestro.

WARMUP:
SSH 20 OYO
Mosey around the loop
Merkins 12 OYO
Had planned another mosey but too many box trucks in the lot
Bear Hugs 10 IC
Big Arm Circles 10 IC
Big Arm Circles in Reverse 10 IC
Imperial Walkers 20 IC

THE THANG:
We moseyed over to the hill to begin our festivities which, I might add, were enjoyed by all!

The routine was to sprint up the hill and do 10 Smurf Jacks followed by a fast mosey down to then do 10 Burpees. We performed six (6) rounds with sprint speeds noticeably declining with each iteration. Held a Plank and/or Al Gore until the Six was in.

But we needed five (5) more Burpees to complete this part of the endeavor.

Next we partnered up for a modified Dora 1-2-3. Each teams performed: 165 Flutter Kicks (hard way of course), 165 Merkins, 165 SSH, and 165 Squats. It was at this point that the PAX discovered the significance of the number or reps. While one partner did the exercise the other ran to the end of the parking lot and back. We had to cut it a little short in order to go see Mary.

MARY:
Speaking of Mary, I explained the significance of 1959 and then called for Big Boy Sit ups leaving the PAX for a brief moment to envision doing 1,959, but then only called for 59. We finished with Plank for time.
