BACKBLAST:

17 PAX came out in the foggy gloom to roll the dice and accept what came their way. A large, wooden six sided dice was used to select location and movement to get there, then rolled at each location to do 3 exercises.

@center 1 – LBCs x10ic

At some point a dice may have been thrown with poor timing and poor precision by the QiC and a PAX may have had a close call with a wooden dice grazing his noggin…

 

But, our brave PAX continued to roll with the punches even as things got dicey…

 

A 6 was rolled and we headed for the bleachers, with a 3 rolled indicating ner as the movement to get there.

@bleachers

2 – dips x 20

1 – bleacher merkins up, mosey down stairs

5 – derkins x 5

 

A 1 was rolled which meant stay out and roll for 3 more exercises at the current location

 

4 – stairs, sprint up and down

2 – dips x 20

Next a 2 was rolled directing us again to the West end of the track. A 2 was rolled indicating…bear crawl.

 

West end:

1 – squats x 20

2 – merkins x 15

6 – calf raises x 20

 

5 – east end of track and 4 – crawl bear were rolled

(This seems familiar…)

Crawl bear to center then rolled a 3 – flutter kicks x10ic

Modified and moseyed to east end

Rolled 2 for merkins x15 but QiC swapped in WW2s (Big Blue was happy to do more merkins and already started…)

Rolled a 4 – American hammer x10ic then final roll was a 2 – merkins x15 which a smile on Big Blues face.
