The AMRAP Race

7 pax posting in the gloom despite YHC claiming the Q.  He was more than willing to give up his Q to any pax willing to do a VQ, but alas, there were no takers, much to the chagrin of these 7 pax.  The group did get some mini-revenge on the Q as he was hoping for an even number, but as is typical, we were odd.

The Thang

On April 9^th, 1942, US and Filipino forces in the Bataan peninsula fell to the imperial Japanese army and began what was known as the Bataan Death March.  In memory of the men who perished during this 65-mile trek to prisoner camps, we started off with a modified version of the Bataan Death March:

• Walking lunges, Indian-run style, with last person performing 5 burpees before running to the front around short parking lot loop (enough for each pax to do two rounds of burpees)

AMRAP Race

Pax split into two teams and performed the following circuit.  After each round of the circuit, pax grabbed one of the Q’s balls from the sack and placed in their team’s bucket.

• At the library
  • Thrusters x10
  • Merkins x20
  • LBC’s x20
  • Curls for the girls x20
• Run long parking lot lap (short lap for walkers or run-walkers) to play ground
  • Burp-ups x5
• Return to library to rinse and repeat

Team 1 was the winner, and it may or may not had anything to do with having more team members.  Winners received a free workout at the next beatdown + 1 burpee while the losers must pay full price at their next workout + 3 buprees (we were out of time for more penalty).

COT/BOM

YHC encouraged the pax to reach out to men who haven’t posted in awhile.  He also encouraged to ask the question: “How are you doing?” And follow up with, “How are you really doing?
