Blocks, BLIMPS, & Blunders

7 PAX started a workout at Shawshank this morning and 8 finished it. T-Claps to Viper from coming over from the Central Midlands Transitional Retreat and helping the PAX finish strong. Here’s how it went down:

Conditions: 76 deg F and dripping

FNGs, Disclaimer, Prayer

The Thang:
Mozy across Red’s Bridge, over the tiny hill, and circle up near the soccer field

– SSH X 15, IC
– TTT X 15, IC
– LBAC Forward X 15, IC
– LBAC Backerds X 15, IC

Mosey to the block pile, grab a block, and line up where the goal line used to be for BLIMPS

– Burpees X 5 OYO, carry your block to opposite goal line
– Lungers X 10 OYO, carry your block to opposite goal line
– Imperial Walkers X 15 OYO, carry your block to opposite goal line
– Merkins X 20 OYO, carry your block to opposite goal line
– Plank Jacks X 25 OYO, carry your block to opposite goal line
– Squats X 30 OYO, carry your block to opposite goal line

Plank for the 6

Line up where the goal line used to be and follow YHC with your block held overhead:
– Walk the perimeter of the soccer field, stopping to rest ~15 secs at each corner until all PAX are back to the starting point.

Circle up for some Block Bombs:
– All PAX hold block overhead while 1 PAX performs 5 block burpees
– Moving clockwise, the next PAX performs 5 block burpees once the previous PAX finishes.
– Continue until all PAX have completed 5 block burpess
– Rinse & repeat with block merkins X 10 OYO, block squats X 10 OYO, and curls for the girls X 10 OYO

Return blocks to their home and mosey back to the shelter for Mary. Here we found Viper who had just completed a lap around Shawshank. He did not hesitate to jump in:

– Flutter Kicks X 25, IC
– 6 Inches for 30-ish seconds

Recover!

Lessons Learned:
– Don’t assume the lines on the soccer fields are always going to be there.
– A simple question such as, “What is a lesbian?” can spark quite the conversation
– Cheers struggles with event dates sometimes.
