Storming Mt. Covenant – III Pillars – 08.20.19

Conditions: A little toasty, with a healthy dose of clouds to provide a strong, dark gloom

QIC: Toothless

PAX: Cunning Linguist, Tampa Libra, Lumbergh, Crablegs, Money Shot, Sideline, Cowboy, Hipster, En Fuego, Pumpkin Spice, Princess Aurora

The Q rolled in hot and had a speedy disclaimer, but proclaimed himself Captain Hook for the morning due to a broken finger. The PAX started off with a crisp mosey over to Mt. Covenant Landing (parking deck)

Warm-A-Rama:

  • SSH x 20
  • Windmills x 15
  • Good Mornings x 15

Main Event: Storming Mt. Covenant

PAX began at the bottom of Mt. Covenant and were given the following set of exercises to complete. Markers (frisbees) were set so that the hill was separated into three sections.

  • Squats x 30
  • Run until 1/3
  • WWI x 50
  • Bernie Sanders to 2/3
  • Flutter kicks x 70
  • Lunges to 3/3
  • Air press x 90

Rinse & Repeat

The PAX managed to complete one repeat of the above exercises. The Q introduced an additional exercise at the top between the two circuits. That exercise was “walking the plank” by way of the sneaky gorilla. PAX lined up head to toe and held a one-armed plank to mimic their one-handed captain. The PAX at the front of the line would sneaky gorilla (knuckles to the ground, traveling side-lunge) to the end of the line, call next, and the new front PAX would begin. Only one full cycle through the line was completed before PAX had to mosey back down to start the second circuit.

After the second circuit, PAX moseyed back across Hillsboro. The frisbees were collected, and it was proven that the West side needs a lot of help with their frisbee skills as we almost lost a few frisbees from errant throws while coming down the hill. At the first median after crossing the road, the Q called a halt and added a sneaky gorilla to the second median followed by a sprint to the post.
