Introduction
Burnt Ends and I set began setting up about a half hour early. We arrived at the AO to what once was Shorewood’s, Crossroads Fest. The temp was warm and had humidity that felt like you were swimming. I started sweating just setting lights up on the hill. I could see Burnt Ends setting up for his bd on the basketball court. “The Wood” had a carnival feeling in the early hours.
Warm-O-Rama
Storm Chaser served as sight Q and led us through with 5 SSH, 1 Burpee for 5 Rounds, Imperial Squat Walkers, Good Mornings, Arm Circles, and Abe Vigodas.
Picasso began Q
I took Pax on a Mosey to the base of the hill with Coupons from the parking lot.
The Thang
At the hill we left behind our coupons at the base and did an up and over.
We backwards lunge walked halfway up the hill, backwards ran / Bernie Sanders up to the top of the hill, crawl bear down the backside of the hill, bear crawl up to the top and recover ran back down to coupons. Early finishers were rewarded with Burpees till 6 was in.
Began Coupon work
Block Curls, Blockees, Block Presses, Moseyed with Blocks to the Spine of the hill. John Cusacked and then Rifle Carried the Coupons up to the top of the hill. Flutter Kicks at the top of the hill. Rifle Carried Coupons back to the start. Ran over to the basketball Court to begin Burnt Ends Q
Burnt Ends lined us up on the baseline of two basketball courts. We jogged to the top of the key on the opposite court and sprinted out of the court. Slow jogged around the outside and repeated exercise only the sprinting out began sooner, at half court. Rinse and Repeat but with sprinting out beginning at the near top of key.
We Circled up and were given a quick tutorial on knock-out. Pax were divided into the two courts for two different knock out games. Once you got knocked out, you had to jog around the courts until the game was over. The winner would then call on the jogging, knocked out, Pax to come back to their court. Circling around the winner the victor picks exercise and count for all Pax to do. We played three games. Soccermom won two of three on my court…
Storm Chaser led us through a Mary of Leg Lifts and Big Boys.
Circle of Trust
Burnt Ends talked about living in the moment, making the most of every moment, and celebrating his Mother’s Birthday.
I talked about how everything is a cycle and the harder you push here and the more you embrace hard things physically the more manageable other things tend to feel.
Naked Man Moleskin
Soccermom is a baller! We played three knockout games and he won two of them. He even beat out Piston. His name only means he is a massive Jordan/Bulls fan.
I discovered it feels really weird shooting a basketball after you worked out. My shot was way off. (May or may not have been affected by bd….)
