Evolution 1:
– Bear crawl one court, jog back to start, run to court 2, bear crawl court 2, run back to start, repeat while bear crawling only one court (I hate bear crawls) for all 8 courts.

Evolution 2:
– Celebration of Life with Freddie Mercurys at each stop. The further you ran, the fewer reps. Started with 2 reps at the far end of the tennis courts and added 2 reps for each court.

Evolution 3:
– Celebration with coupons. Coupons were placed in the middle of the 8 courts. PAX ran a celebration while completing 5 curls/press/tris every time they passed the coupon. At each stop, PAX completed Pendulum Lunges starting with 2 at the first stop and adding 2 lunges at each stop.

Merry-Go-Round (that’s what I’m going to call it) to the pull-up shelter.

MGR = PAX pair up with one coupon to the pair (today we also had rucks). The PAX with coupons line up and start walking while rifle carrying the coupon. The rest of the group runs around the line. When your partner needs a break, he taps his partner.

At the pull-up shelter, 50 seconds on, 15 rest. Exercises were pull-ups, Merkins (any variety except regular Merkins), and an Ab exercise. PAX chose how many reps of each exercise and how much rest they needed in addition to the 15 seconds, if any.

Coupon CSAUP
3 teams of 5 PAX moved rucks and coupons, and 2 landscape timbers per team, from the top of the hill to the bottom, then back to the top and then to the top after going back to the bottom and then we repeated this a few more times. Seems like Webster’s definition of CSAUP. Oh, and we moseyed in the middle. Then, once we were done moving coupons and rucks up and down the hill for no reason, we put them back.

Celebration Shots
Groups of 4 shot free throws to determine the reps of the exercise included with a Celebration for Life. A variety of exercises – merkins, jump squats, donuts, SSH, jumping lunges were included in various rounds. More often than not the count was 4 – not exactly knockdown shooters in this bunch – well, plenty of shooters, not many makers.

Good teamwork with Muck to cover the Q!!

Tha Thang
Ruck with an occasional break to pair up, give your ruck to a HIM, run ahead for 30-60 seconds before returning, retrieving your ruck as well as your partners while they ran. Running portion seemed to time up with the iciest part of the path. Stupid cold, stupid ice, stupid winter. Ready for spring. Winter is stupid.
