BACKBLAST:

Warm Up:

-Hold Al Gore while One Shot gets out of his truck and joins the circle…Like Neal Page in the movie, sitting waiting for his meeting to end…

-3 Penalty Burpees…One Shot was…eh, almost late.  Not quite late, but late enough we did a few penalty burpees.

-3 More Penalty Burpees because Drawstring & Barndoor were talking the whole time during the first burpees

Caterpillar thought it’d be a good idea to stand between Barndoor and Drawstring, but he’s got the biggest mouth of anyone…

-Low Plank – F3 Credo (Big Blue was too quick on this, so we held low plank a bit longer, while Caterpillar, Barn Door, and Drawstring continued to talk)

-Caterpillar, Drawstring, & Barndoor were talking too much, so 3 more burpees!  Caterpillar moved back to his original spot in the circle…

-Michael Phelps (x10 IC)

-Broken Bicycle (x10 IC)

-Chinook (x10 IC)

-Mosey Up the road towards library – “You’re never going to catch the 6” (running to catch a cab through NYC)…A car drove by, so that was our cab, we turned around to chase it down.  Ended up on the tennis court…

 

The Thang:

-Cocaine Bear Crawl across tennis court, and back to start…Mosey to Pavilion…

 

Get on Airplane  – Hold Al Gore…Trivia Question: What’s the name of the character that John Candy plays in the movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.  Del Griffith.  No one knew the answer, so 3 Penalty Burpees.

What’s the funny quote Del says to Neal when they’re on the plane? “6 Bucks & my right nut says we’re not landing in Chicago”

-3 more penalty burpees because the Q said the quote wrong, despite having the quote written right there on his paper

 

-Flying Nuns (From one end of the pavilion to the other)

 

Land in Wichita, Kansas…take Doobby’s Taxiola

-Zombie Crawl (through pavilion)

 

Train – “The people train run outta St..St..St..Stubville”

-RR Tracks (until everyone jumps through 1 time) from Pavilion to the road

 

Train Breakdown…Have to walk & crawl through the fields to get to the road.

-Crawl Bear (approx. 50 yds. to far side of intersection)

 

Bus Ride – “You’re in a pretty lousy mood, huh? You ever traveled by bus before? Your mood’s probably not going to improve much.”

-Indian Run down street til everyone does sprint 1 time.

 

Get angry & get rental car in St. Louis…”Why don’t you try the airlines? It’s faster and you get a free meal.”

-Burpee Broad Jump (approx. 50 yds. to stop sign)

 

Car catches on fire…“We had a small fire last night, but we caught it in the nick of time!”

-Fire Drill

(in the middle of the road, in a line shoulder to shoulder.  High Knees…last PAX in line yells “Fire!”, everyone drops, rolls right, does x1 Merkin, jumps up and continues High Knees.  Continue until everyone yells “Fire!”)

 

Now we have to sit in the back of a refrigerated tractor trailer

-Motor City Shuffle (Lunge, Lunge, Burpee, 5 Merkins, 5 Plank Jacks, Frog Hop) (Repeato 5 times)

 

-Sprint rest of the way to Trojan’s House (approx. ¼ Mile)

(Hug it out at Trojan’s House…stop hugging before we wake up Trojan’s M and she thinks we’re all really weird! Eh, she already knows we’re a bunch of weird misfits.)

 

-Mosey back to Pavilion

 

Mary

Someone brought up politics at the dinner table, and now it’s turned into war!

-WWII (x10 IC)

-Mosey back to flag

-Prayers for Trojan and his family, with hardships of kids.

As we look ahead to Thanksgiving tomorrow, may we be men of gratitude.  We have so much to be grateful for.  One thing to be especially grateful for is our freedom in Christ and in this country.  Christ loved us so much that he took our penalty and went to the cross for us, and died in our place.

Thanks for coming out this morning, hugging it out, and taking a wild trip through the classic Thanksgiving movie, Planes, Trains, & Automobiles!
