Preamble:

Q provided the disclaimer to all. Q informed the group that there will be trivia about a great man in Nelson Mandela and if we got the right answer, we would do less recovery Burpees. Otherwise we would do more.

Warm-O-Rama:

Started with a mosey around the parking lot then moseyed over to lot adjacent to entrance pavillion then Warmed up to some Armcircles forward and backwards and seal clap X 27 count which is the number of year Mandela spent incarcerated.  

The Thang:

Q asked the PAX what year Mandela was freed from prison…answers were close but no right answer (correct is 1990) so we did 15 burpees. Then moved over to pavillion where with our partners we did series of runs alternating with 40 Dips, 40 durkins and 40 Dry docks. Then we asked a question what year did Mandela win the nobel peace prize (December 1993), n again good guesses but no one nailed so we did 10 burpees. Then moseyed over to lot next to rec center. Then we did BLIMPS (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60). First to finish run to the opposite side and mtn climbers for the six then start the next exercise alterbating between MTN climbers and monkey humpers for the six. Last trivia question how old was Mandela when he died in 2013 – Chauffeur got it right 95 years young when Madiba passed. Only 5 burpees then moseyed to the “great wall of  East Roswell” for balls to the wall while partner does 25 american hammers then rinse repeat for 25 dolly until both partners did all.  We did recovery calf raises x 30. Moseyed back to the flag for some box cutters (Q’s favorite) then a Merkin ring of fire up to 100 to honor Mandela’s age (95) then some Mary’s to close us out.
