    20*F was the warmest it had been in several days. Fresh snow was delivered from the Sky Q overnight so we had a fresh pallet to work with.

    The Thang:
    Q 1 Get Right. Spaulding helped the pax get right with a brief warm up routine which included:

    Warm ups
    Windmills-slow AKA Abe Vigoda
    Arm circles- long time – forward and back
    Overhead claps
    Shoulder presses
    Shake out

    High knees

    Plank- minimum 60 seconds- go until the last guy is done
    (Hold al gore if you’re out)

    21s- max 5

    Rifle carry to light post and back

    Next up was Stark with his portion of the beatdown.
    Q2: Live Right.
    His portion was partner work in the field.

    Round 1.)
    Suicides and:
    Angle Grinder

    Round 2.)
    Murder Bunny and
    Ninja Squat

    Next Up was Coconut with the
    Q3 Lead Right
    He punished us with 12 minutes of the following exercises on repeato and in cadence. It was a burner and he led well!
    Squrl thrusters, flutter kicks, bent over rows. IC. 4 sets of 10-20-30

    Lastly, the eldest pax of the shield lock wrapped things up with a play on deck chairs and icebergs found in the 4thQ of Leave Right.
    Cindy’s were moved from point A down 30 meters and back then arranged in a particular pattern as fast as possible. There were more Cindy’s than pax, which added a wrinkle of difficulty. While pax were moving Cindy’s, 3 pax were flipping a tire (30 meters) on a collision course with Cindys. The idea was for the Cindys pax to work together to leave the Cindy’s untouched by the Iceberg.

    Closed it out with a cool down of 21’s and Willie Mays Hayes.
