Angry Mexican

Preamble:

YHC didn’t actually realize that his Q fell on Cinco de Mayo until the evening prior, which meant a mad scramble to cobble together something thematic and deserving of the occasion.  Alas, it wouldn’t be Raider-esque but it would have to do.

Warm-O-Rama:

Short mosey up the main road toward the large parking lot for the following warm-ups:

• SSH’s
• Hillbilly’s
• Abe Vigoda’s

The Thang:

Q led PAX toward the field where a (very excited) Turbine noticed an all-to-familiar whiteboard leaning against the goalpost.  Would PAX be getting Board of Pain for Cinco de Mayo?  Alas, no – but YHC did conjure up something special for 5/5 – the Angry Mexican, accompanied by some sweet Tijuana Brass just for the occasion (no GM, that was NOT Kenny G).

The format was fairly straightforward once you understood it – the board outlined a list of exercises that were to be performed on the field.  Repetitions of each exercise PLUS <favorite animal>-Crawls for yardage must add up to 55.  For example, PAX could choose to Bear Crawl for 30yds and do 25 Merkins.  All exercises had to be performed twice – once down the field, and second time on the return trip.  Any combination of reps/yards was allowed.

Exercises included (in order):

• Burpees
• Merkins
• No Surrenders
• Jump Squats
• American Hammers (4-count)
• Diamond Merkins
• Donkey Kicks

With T-10 remaining on the clock, Q called all PAX to the center of the field for a round of Hot Tamale – each PAX would take turns doing 5 Burpees while their brethren performed Merkins in-cadence.  Note to self – this was notably harder than Morning Call.

Return to the flag for a quick round of Mary before time was called.

COT:

• Welcome FNG Lasso!

Naked-Man Moleskin:
