The Thang

1st Thang was an Indian Run race. Last Pax would do 2 burpees and sprint to the front of their line and the last Pax would stop for 2 burpees and so on. The race was for 2 laps. We split into two teams and each headed off in opposite directions around the hill (0.3 miles or so). PROBLEMS. It had started snowing overnight so there was maybe 1/2″ of snow cover on all paths and roads. Past few days had gotten to at least 32 so older snow had melted a little. Unfortunately, this created some ice overnight hiding under the snow. As YHC’s team was only a quarter through the first lap 2 or 3 Pax hit some black ice and went down. When I saw this I immediately knew the gameplan had to change to keep the Pax safe. Plus, all the chalk lines and instructions I had written out the day prior were all covered up haha. We met up with the other team and headed over down towards the Cafe.

We proceeded to work through a Jack Webb trifecta.

1st: Makhtar N’Diaye’s (4-ct) + Jump Squats up to 10 and 40 (55 and 220 Total)

2nd: Wide-Arm Merkins + Overhead Claps, also up to 10 and 40 (55 and 220 Total)

3rd: American Hammers (4-ct) + LBC’s, yep you guessed it we went to 10 and 40 here too (55 and 220 Total).

Oh yea, we held high-plank for a minute in between each set.

With 5 minutes left we slowly and carefully made our way back to the Flag. Wait, where was the damn Flag? Well, we went back to the main lot where Flags USUALLY are.

We held one final High Plank for 90 seconds.

We didn’t move much because of the unsafe conditions but hot damn that was a Smokefest. I’m writing this 8 hours after we finished and Quads, Shoulders, Abs, are all a little bit on fire still.
