Tha Thang:
PAX were instructed to count the parking spaces in the main lot using various exercise reps, working one section at a time. For each section, perform one exercise going out (left), and another coming back (right). At each island/end of a group of parking spaces, do number of reps corresponding to the count of parking spaces so far on that side (e.g., 10, 20, 30 going out, 8, 18, 28 coming back). At end of each section, PAX were asked what the count was for that section. Incorrect answers would result in penalties. Handicap spots were wildcards and resulted in Man Maker reps. PAX were asked for guesses on total # of spots for main lot ahead of time. Winner announced below.
Main Lot:
Sec 1: SSH (11,21,31), Bonnie Blairs (14,24,34) = 65 spots
Sec 2: WWII's (11,21,37), Flutter Kicks (14,24), Man Makers (8) = 69 spots
Sec 3: Merkins (7,17,31), Hand-release Merkins (12,22,29) = 60 spots – this section sucked
Sec 4: Gas Pumpers (7,17,26), Reverse Crunches (4,14,21) = 47 spots
Sec 5: Squats (7, 18), Jump Squats (4,11) = 29 spots
Sec 6: Man Makers (1,3,5,7,8) = 8 spots
Main Lot Total: 278 – PAX correctly counted the spots in each section and the total spots, so no penalties were levied. Nice work fellas + good teamwork. DQ had closest guess of 300 spots, his reward was mention in the backblast. Congrats DQ! Most other PAX guesses were higher.
We had extra time left, so YHC took PAX to count more spots in the extended front lot via suicides. Reward for PAX correctly guessing spots in main lot was only one set of suicides and the rest just a simple run and counting spots.
Front Lot:
Sec 1: Suicides (3 islands, 40 spots), Simple Run back (38 spots) = 78 spots
Sec 2: Simple Run (25 spots), Man Makers for handicap spots (8 spots), Simple Run back (28 spots) = 61 spots
Front Lot Total: 139
Mosey back to the flag out of time.
Upon return to the flag, YHC was alerted that we missed the random row of spots next to the fields. Unfortunately, we were out of time. Spots will be added to a future workout, but YHC counted them after (34).
Total Pooler AO parking spots (not including back lot) = 278+139+34 = 451 spots. In case you were always wondering or dying to know.
Total of 529 reps + ~1.9 miles for the crew.
