Quaker’s Dozen

AO: The Plank

Conditions: Perfect

It’s been a minute since YHC Q’d at The Plank so the night before I worked diligently on my Weinke making sure it was up to snuff (#TheStandardIsTheStandard) for this crew of Bat Flippers! At a minimum, there needed to running, bleachers, and burpees. There would be constant pain and no 10 counts: 2% better cannot be achieved at a 1% better pace!!

YHC arrived prior to the lights being turned on and there were already at least 3 Pax running a 5K pre-run. As I sat in my car reviewing my notes, cars kept streaming into the lot. At 5:10 the PAX began congregating/ stretching in the near endzone as the runners (Candy Cane, Drifter, and Tiny) came barreling into the stadium with what look to be a 7:50 to 8:10 pace.  Besides the regular faces, there were new faces such as Putt Putt, old faces such as War Eagle, DR faces like Wham. By the 1 minute warning, 13 Pax had entered the COP and were anxiously awaiting whatever YHC had in store for them. (Tiny was a bit disappointed that YHC did not have the Pull-up Bar tee’d up for the main event)

5:14 – One Minute Warning

5:15 – Short, yet thorough Intoduction & Disclaimer was given and we were off!!

We ran 1 lap around the track to get the blood flowing and headed right out the gate to the beachers for a moving COP!

COP: We ran up the bleachers and at the top did 20 SSH IC then ran down the bleaches. At the base we completed 15 Squats IC; Then ran up the Bleachers and at the top did 15 Imperial Walkers IC; At the bottom we completed 22 Merkins IC; at the top we did 15 TTT IC; at the bottom we completed 15 Windmills; At the top we did 15 LBAC IC; and at the bottom we completed 15 LBAC in Reverse IC.

We then ran out the gate and back onto the track for another ¾ of a lap. At the end of this partial lap, we lined up shoulder to shoulder across the goal line for the main event!

We all continued to due SSH until the 6 finished.

We then ran ½ lap around the track out the gate and back to the Bleachers. We snaked up and down the Bleachers from left to right, then turned around and snaked back up & down the bleachers from right to left.

With 2 minutes to spare, we circled up on the MB Medallion at the 50 yd line for 30 Flutterkicks IC!
