The day started off with the most magnificent bluebird. The kind you see in National Geographic or Smithsonian Magazine. This was quickly interrupted by Torch and Bloodclot appearing from out of nowhere with weighted backpacks running through the area as if travelers on the walking dead.
Now to the main event....
We started off with 10 good mornings. It is important to stretch and people underestimate the psychological and physical benefits of it. After we completed our 10 good mornings we went into an Indian run around the Armada trail. This was immediately followed up by a jog to the pavilion where we took in some of the historic area of Fort Granger. This is where the bulk of the workout would occur for the Saturday.
We did 10 Merkins, 10 American Hammers, 10 squats, 10 flutter kicks and ran from baseline to baseline. This was repeated until we got down to 1 of each and then climbed back up to 10. In total it amounted to 110 of each exercise. The Running from the grass to the pavilion was 232ft roundtrip and this was done 18x for what was is roughly 8/10 of a mile or the equivalent of 1400 yards. Google Conversion charts are great.
Those sets of exercises were followed by stationary plank bear crawls. The person at the end of the line would bear crawl to the front of the line and then the next person would go. The goal was to reach the log on the other side and we accomplished that task.
This was followed by jogging back down to the parking lot of the armada for a round trip total of a mile. We finished the day off with each PAX selecting an exercise for us to complete and ended on 25's.
This was a great experience and I appreciated the opportunity to Q.
