Sparta, Salem, VA
Conditions: 39 deg. F, clear
PAX: Cat Scratch, Dunphy, JV, Manti, Pipeline, Zebra
Qs: Dunphy and Pipeline
So, it was Pipeline’s and Dunphy’s birthday, with Pipeline turning 49 (eek!) and Dunphy turning 42. Dunphy brought two sandbags and Pipeline brought three cinderblocks for a round of birthday BOMBS. First Dunphy warmed us up with a really long run around the entire civic center and then some SSHs and other stuff in groups of 7, 21 and 42. After we got Cat Scratch fully awake, the BOMBS commenced. Instead of sets of 50, we did sets of 42 exercises in honor of Dunphy, followed by an extra credit set of a multiple of seven exercises in cadence.
Travellers carried a coupon around a nearby lightpole and back while the stationary partner exercised. The exercises were:
42 total burpees plus 7 IC
84 overhead claps (cadence count) total plus 14 IC
126 merkins total plus 21 three-count merkins IC (three counts down, hard count up)
168 big boys total plus 28 IC
210 squats plus 35 copperhead squats IC
Yog back to the cars with the coupons while Dunphy finished his birthday burpees.
Name-o-rama. Pipeline took us away.
An honor and a privilege! Another year older!
