A brisk and clear morning, it was beautiful Dragon-hunting weather! We started with an agility warmup including: - 5 Yard Sprints using the curb as a starting block - High Knees, Butt Kicks, Lunges, Karaoke, Side Steps Then we tried something new: formed 2 lines of about 8 PAX, assumed the Al Gore position (tree hugger squat), and commenced a modified Indian Run - the last PAX would weave through squatting PAX to the front of the line. Then we repeated in the Plank position. After the agility workout, we commenced Merkins & Dragons: roll a 6-sided foam die to find the Dragon's location, which was one of six light poles. Then run to the Dragon and roll for attack: 1 & 2: Merkins 3 & 4: Squats 5 & 6: LBCs Add a 0 to the the roll and do that many reps. After the attack, we rolled for the Dragon's defense: 1 & 2: 10 or 20 merkins. 3,4,5 & 6: The Dragon Flees and we roll to see what location to run to next. This particular Dragon had 350 hit points, so we repeated until 350 total reps to kill him. But wait! At the beginning of M&D we all inflated a balloon. We had to finish the workout while holding the balloon, but if a balloon touched the ground then everyone did 5 burpees, and a popped balloon was 10 burpees. It was fun figuring out how to keep them off the ground, and we had about half of them pop throughout the workout. Thanks to the Rock Hill fellas for joining us! And thanks to Apache for this beautiful bean footage: https://youtu.be/uZ3r-haMAtA
