Preamble:

Great day to lead - birthday week and a hint of a throwback to my first ever beatdown!

Warm-O-Rama:

mosey to old flag... SSH WP IW Arm circles ... mosey to big parking lot

The Thang:

We gonna play Home Run Derby!  My first ever beatdown had a baseball station... so we are going to throw it back (pun intended): 2 Teams, one hitting, one in the filed. 3 swings each person.  we wagered exercises on each player, and the number of home runs hit equals the "punishment" -- more home runs earns you slight reprieve but low or no home runs earns the group the full max exercise rep count. Exercises rotated from arms, to legs, to abs... and back. We did many many different exercise, I can't remember them all but maybe:
  • mercans, dry docks, derkins, dips, shoulder taps, planks, etc..
  • squats, Bobby Hurley, lunges, bonnie blair, etc...
  • freddie mercury, electric car, dying cockroach, big boys, etc...
After each inning (every player hits), the entire group ran a parking lot lap.   As time was waining, we did a "one swing" lighting round.  Goal was 10 total home runs between the 15 PAX.  The wager was a Tiger sign run... we hit 11!!!  No TSR today...  

COT:

Prayers spoken and unspoken.  Take care of each other.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Always a pleasure to lead.
