YHC decided to take the Q for an @Toughskins Bday beatdown.  Our friend is turning 42 years old today and must be paid the honor he deserves.  Chatter on Slack indicated copious suggestions for what the Q should provide.  Funny, those with the biggest voices never showed this morning, must have been “skeered”. Eight Pax took the challenge.

I checked in with the birthday boy who indicated his ankle was not 100%, therefore…Plan B…no running.  It went something like this…

The Thang
Mosey to the memorial for warm-o-rama.
SSH x42 (x denotes cadence)
Cotton Pickers x10
IST x10
Mt. Climbers x10
Windmill x10
Burpees x2
(42)

Mosey over to the first field, tight circle on the grass.

Jack Webb ladder (Merkins and air presses) 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 (42)

The Prostitute: 4 Rounds of…
Round 1-10 Burpees
Round 2-10 Burpees, 20 Merkins
Round 3-10 Burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 Air Squats
Round 4-10 Burpees, 20 Merkins, 30 Air Squats, 40 WWII’s
(200 reps, no real significance, just Bday pain)

Everyone hold a plank position.  YHC picks an exercise (bday present for @Toughskins) for the group to perform.  Pax does exercise while YHC bearcrawls around the outside of the circle counter-clockwise.  Upon arriving to my spot in the circle, the next PAX to my right picks a present, bearcrawls, etc, etc.  When everyone had a turn giving presents to @Toughskins, we took a 15 sec rest and continued with another round of gift giving, clockwise.
(8+8=16)

Mosey to the hill by the Tennis Courts.  Line up at the bottom.  1 burpee at bottom, quadraphelia to the top.  Repeato 10x (10 Burpees + 10 Quad = 20)

Mosey to the cars/flag.  6 more burpees get this set to 42!

Mary
Dying Cockaroach x10
Oblique sit up to the right x10
Oblique sit up to the left x10 
KTE x10
2 Burpees
(42)
