Man vs Machine (or Log)?

Conditions: Moist but extremely warm for season

Q arrives 2 minutes late: penalty burpees later. As always, this is extremely approximate.

Tha Thang: 4 pax arrived after a very late night of college football (Geaux Tigers!!!) and little rest, so they could test themselves against…Machines!!!

(Ok, so actually, this was a theme workout with only like 2 things on theme. Although I did sneak in a variety of “M” exercises from the Exicon)
.
Get bricks, mosey to COP
SSH, LBACs with bricks, LBCs, goblets squats, Windmill, TTT, Silent 21 (failed due to Banjo flapping his wings, with penalty burpees). Mosey to Corner.

Grab a log with your partner. Whine about safety or something like that. Drop it repeatedly. Improvise.

Now, the first Man vs Machine test. Pax on foot vs Q on bike to the corner. Man wins, biker does burpees.
Boxcutters. plankwork with leg lifts.
Race #2. Even with a 5s headstart and bike on ground, Machine wins. Man does burpees.
Get a tractor tire.
Slide said tractor tire on its side with partner, switching off #crowdpleaser. Didn’t I read something somewhere about fuel efficiency low rolling resistance in tire manufacturing? Yeah, not tractor sidewalls.

Push tire a little more. Return to Crabbies yard.
