Off on another mosey past the nearly-frozen water feature to the foot of the temple of Athena herself. The PAX gathered round for instructions.
The PAX pair off for the main event. The exercise included:
- All the PAX doing SSH until it’s their turn to start
- With a paired PAX, first group runs up the stairs to the highest point of the parthenon to Corner #1
- 10 Burpees at Corner #1
- Each next pair heads up the stairs once the group ahead has done 5 Burpees
- Sprint long-ways to Corner #2
- 10 Jump Squats at Corner #2
- Bear Crawl short-ways to Corner #3
- 10 Man Makers at Corner #3
- Bernie (run backwards) to Corner #4
- 10 Box Jumps at Corner #4
- Run down the stairs to starting position
- 30-second recovery
- RnR with 8 reps, then 6 reps, then 4 reps
The PAX who finish alternate with 1 minute of Low Planks and 1 minute of Air Chair until the Six arrives. The group then moseys to the path in front of the statue for Mary.
LINE OF MARY:
The PAX line up for Mary on their Six, shoulder-to-shoulder. Each PAX selects an exercise for the group to perform in cadence, to a count of 15. We start with PAX #2, with PAX #1 doing American Hammers holding a 25-lb dumbbell. Once the first exercise is done, PAX #1 passes the dumbbell to PAX #2, and PAX #3 selects the next exercise. We go down the line and keep passing the dumbbell, and whoever holds it does weighted American Hammers whilst they pray for the exercise to be over. Exercises included (a couple were repeated):
- LBCs
- Freddie Mercury
- Box Cutters
- Big Boy Sit-ups
- J-Los
- Alternating Heel Touches
- Slow Freddie Mercury
BONUS ROUND:
There were three minutes to spare, so 30 Lieutenant Dans rounded out the Pumpkin Parthenon Peril before we closed it out.
BULLHORN:

- Crablegs is Q-ing an OTB workout at West Park tomorrow. Meet in the parking lot past the water tower
