THE THANG: Today is National Saxophone Day. The Saxophone was invented in the 1800s by Adolphe Sax, who was born on November 6, 1814 and went on to live a life full of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolphe_Sax.
To celebrate National Saxophone Day, PAX moseyed to the football field and partnered up. 1 partner did an exercise in the endzone while the other bear crawled 20 yards and back. Each exercise was accompanied by a true/false trivia question. Wrong answers increased the bear crawl distance by 5 yards (each direction).
– S – SSH; The Saxophone is a woodwind instrument – True
– A – ?; Adolphe Sax was Austrian – False, he was Belgian
– X – X-jumps; Kenny G is best known for playing the alto saxophone – False, he primarily plays the soprano sax
– O – Overhead Press; Richard Nixon was a saxophone player – True, he could play 5 instruments
– P – Pop Squats; A saxhorn is another name for the saxophone – False, it’s another family of instruments invented by Adolphe
– H – Hand-release Merkins; Adolphe Sax invented 8 types of saxophone – False, he invented 14 different types
– O – Ohno’s (skaters); The name of the saxophonist for the Electric Mayhem (from the Muppets) is “Lips” – False, it’s “Zoot”
– N – Newton’s Cradle; The smallest saxophone is only 12 inches long – True, it’s called a soprillo
– E – Elbow plank jacks; The most expensive saxophone ever purchased was made of plastic – True, it belonged to Charlie Parker
The bear crawl stretched out to the 30yard line but by the end had come back to the 20.
PAX did 18 burpees and 46 Iron Mikes (each side is a half) for the year 1846 when the saxophone was patented.
Pax then did 45 merkins for the 45 pound heft of the contrabass saxophone (which is over 6ft tall)
Mosey back to Startex. 2 separate 47 second hollow body holds for the 47 minute world record of the longest note ever held on a saxophone.
MOLESKINE:
– Sadly, I did not get to share one more factoid, the largest gathering of simultaneously playing saxophone players involved 1875 musicians.
– Kudos to Betty Ford for guessing our theme during warm-up
– Props to Pep Esposa and others for throwing out many other saxophone-related names and references

THE THANG: Back 2 School!!! :books::school_satchel:
Start with an Indian run “school bus” around the park loop. Every time the rotation completes the stop sign comes out and the PAX have to give 10 Prisoner Squats. After all, schools are basically prisons.
Back at Startex, PAX worked on their CORE subjects. PAX split into 3 groups, post up at each station with 1 group running around the parking lot loop 2x as a timer. The other groups split up and go to 1 of the first 2 stations, performing an exercise until the runners return. Switch to rotate through stations 3 & 4, then repeat the whole set.
(1) English
– “Apart” vs “a part”
– Hello Dollys, spread those legs “apart”
(2) Math
– Ratios, multiplication
– Captain Thors 1:4 ratio of Big Boy Sit-ups to American Hammers, ascending (e.g. 2:8, 3:12, 4:16, 5:20…)
(3) Science
– Inertia
– J-Lo’s, it takes force to stop movement in a given direction
(4) History

– 1 Clerkin, 6 Supermans, 3 Peter Parkers, 5 Mountain Climbers
Stopping movement and some form lapses were observed by the Q, even perpetrated by the Q. All PAX serve a class detention. Complete 15 burpees to buy in. Then, SSH in silence to get out of detention, otherwise more burpees, repeat til successful.
Dealer’s choice til time!
MOLESKINE: The minds were sharp this fine morning! PAX completed 2 full sets of all stations, i.e. 2 full school days. Impressively, the PAX got out of detention on the very first round of silent Side Straddle Hops! They still paid 5 burpees as a baseline but the result could have been far, far worse.
