Gladiators – 05.31.19

With the Q headed to Italy for a few weeks of R&R, the PAX joined him for a “live re-enactment” of the Colosseum as gladiators themselves. It was a good battle.

Conditions: What every gladiator dreams of battling in

QIC: Toothless

PAX: Princess Aurora, Napster, Bicentennial Man, Steinbrenner (F3 Memphis), Bad Boy, Porcelain, Right Said, Vector, Firefox, Dewey, Hi-Viz, T-Cell, Lunch Lady, En Fuego, Cub Cadet, Crawlspace, Hambone

Warm-A-Rama:

  • Slow run from post west, cross lot, back around McCabe center, up to upper lot
  • 15 x SSH
  • 15 x WMH
  • 15 x LBAC
  • 15 x RLBAC
  • 15 x Air Presses

Main Event: Gladiator Run

PAX pair off by counting in 4’s, and then split into pairs via 2’s and 4’s turning to right

Pairs from 4’s and 3’s form one group, 2’s and 1’s form another

Alternate between half of the group exercising while the other half runs around the upper lot.

PAX did everything in their pairs, with the option to share the total of the following individual exercise counts:

  • Set One
  • 30 x Squats
  • 10 x Burpees
  • Set Two
  • 25 x Merkins
  • 50 x LBC

The first group (1’s and 2’s, or 3’s and 4’s) to finish both sets wins that round and gets a breather until the other group finishes their exercises.

Example round: Run, Set One, Run, Set Two

Rinse & Repeat x 1

On the third set, if the running group completely passed all members of the other group with all of their members, it would count as a bonus win.

Scoreboard:

1’s and 2’s – 2 wins (almost caught passed in round 3)

3’s and 4’s – 1 win

Finished with 30 burpees minus the win count x 5, so 20 and 25 respectively

Every PAX put brought a solid effort this morning. I’m publishing this from my layover in Boston pre red eye flight to ??, so since I’ll be DR just know that I’ll miss y’all and will be counting on some help knocking off the pasta weight when I get back. As always, it was an honor to lead!
