Mosey to new deck

Extended warmup. Burpee ladder.

-Top level – 5 burpees. Down the steps to 4th level

-4 burpees. Down to 3rd

3, 2, 1 (back up) 2, 3, 4, 5

The Thang – Break up into 2 teams of equal brain power. Q had to improvise slightly because he forgot his trivial pursuit cards

Team 1: Spud, Gooney, Neverland, Anvil, Scooter, Tombstone

Team 2: PR, TP, PT, Homeland, Marlboro, Java

Rules: Trivia question is asked by Q. The first team to answer correctly gets to stay at the lower level of the top deck and do WWIIs. Team that doesn’t answer first sprints up ramp to the wall, comes back and does 5 burpees. Wrong answer is 20 burpees. No answer is sprint and 10 burpees.

Q 1: Which country produces the most coffee. Someone on Team 2 provided correct answer in Brazil.

After losing team performs burpees, everyone takes the stairs to the bottom and back up.

Q 2: In which city was Jim Morrison buried? Neverland nailed it with Paris

After burpees, stairs to 2nd level and back

Q 3: What was the first state? Spud with the quick Delaware

After burpees, stairs to 3rd level and back

Q 4: What is the painting “La Gioconda” more commonly known as? Gooney for the win with Mona Lisa even though Neverland took 4 years of art history.

Stairs to 4th level and back

Q 5: What is the world’s highest waterfall and where is it located? PR with Angel Falls, but incorrect with Chile. Spud for the steal with Venezuela.

After burpees, everyone lunge to wall and back

Q 6: Where was Ludwig Von Beethoven born? TP with the common misconception of Vienna, his home for most of his life. Spud with Prague (I think). Both incorrect. Correct answer: Bonn, Germany

After everyone sprints and does burpees, stairs to the 1st level

Q 7: Who discovered penicillin? TP with incorrect Salk. I think Spud answered correctly with Fleming, but I could be wrong here because I remember everyone having to run for some reason and Tombstone complaining the he just found a petri dish and didnt do anything special.

After burpees, stairs to the 2nd level and back.

Q 8: Which name is rapper Sean Combs better known by: Homeland with the lightning fast P Diddy

After burpees, stairs to 3rd level and back

Q 9: Which is the only vowel on a standard keyboard that is not on the top line of a keyboard? Gooney (I think) with the correct, A, response

Stairs to 4th level

Q 10: What’s the most expensive home in the world? Both teams deliberated and, even with a few hints, decided to abstain to avoid 20 burpees for a wrong answer. Sprints and 10 burpees instead. Correct answer: Buckingham Palace

No stairs after burpees to squeeze a few more questions in

Q 11: Which scientist won the 1921 Nobel Prize for physics? Gooney or Neverland? with Einstein for the win

No stairs after burpees for a few more

Q 12: How many bones does a shark have in it’s body? Someone on Team 2 (maybe Homie or PR) with the answer of zero. The answer was contested by Tombstone who insisted they have at least one to help them make babies. The shark boner.

Q 13: Who was the first American in space? TP with the correct answer of Alan Shephard. Homeland was trying to think of a dog’s name, but we’re pretty sure TP saw it happen live on TV

Q 14: Who was the first human in space: Spud with Yuri Gragarin

Final question at the parking deck: In which country did AC/DC originate? Scooter beat out PR by a fraction of a second with Australia as the correct answer.

Mosey back to OCT for one final question

Q 16: What is the diameter of the Earth in miles? Spud with 8,000. Tombstone agreed but for the fact that that mileage is linear since the Earth is, in fact, flat.

Final tally (as near as I can remember it).

Team 1: 9 correct.

Team 2: 4 correct

3 incorrect on unanswered

Moleskin:

Tried to salvage the workout by using online trivia since I left my cards on the kitchen counter before I left. What I learned: You want Spud and not Tombstone on your trivia team. Private Ryan needs a boost of confidence. He held the correct answer multiple times, but wasn’t confident enough to shout it out, allowing the other team to answer and subjecting his team to more burpees. Going to school to study art history isn’t necessary to answer the art questions. You just need a technical degree from State and the balls to say whatever comes to your mind first, regardless of the 20 burpee consequence. No Tarheel trivia, so Psycho T was limited. Same with facial hair and smoking meat trivia for Anvil. Java had to leave early, but I’m pretty sure he held his tongue just so he could do more running and burpees.

Takeaways: Need to exercise your mind as well as your body. No pullups today. 2.9 miles, the perfect distance.

Always a pleasure,

Frostbite
