28 of LKN's finest rose before the crack of dawn to witness Amen and YHC go head-to-head for a chance to take on LKN's lean, mean, fighting machine (Stapler) in the QvQ Finale.
Amen kicked things off by warming us up with some SSH's, Dwight Shrutes, Windmills, and Shoulder Touch Mericans, before whipping out his ball (come on guys…basketball), for some free throws. If you make it, the Pax does 10 Mericans – if you miss, 10 burpees. Of course, everyone knows the first rule of QvQ is 'Don't Do Burpees'…things were looking up for YHC!
After 8-10 rounds of that, we lined up on the bus parking lot for some Burpee/Merican/Squat/J-Lo suicides. Do 1 Burpee each time at the starting line, then start at 2 and go up to 10 at each goal, doing Mericans at the first goal, Squats at the second, etc…
At 5:52:30, YHC called an end to that nonsense, and fired up the playlist with Toxic by Britney Spears. We moseyed to the front doors of the school and proceeded to do some stretching to honor the Pax who converged with us from Stretch.
Next on the playlist was Flower by Moby (aka Green Sally). Without having to say a word, the PAX knew what to do! Etch began informing me about halfway thru that a number of PAX were no longer doing the Mericans, but the rest of us struggled on!
The PAX were directed to split up 3 to a ball by the doors, where AC/DC led us thru some incline Mericans and Monkey Humpers to their song Big Balls.
The next song was intended to pay tribute to Stapler (aka Mic Westervelt), who didn't even show!! Oh well, we did Moraccan Nigh Clubs and alternating leg SSH's to Bella Heart's Hey Mickey! Hat Trick knew all of the words and sang along.
I texted Soprano the night before to offer him some front row tickets, and he said he'd come as long as we didn't do uphill Walk Crabs. I made no promises, and he responded by saying "there are no hill at least!" You need to post more often Soprano!! Iron Maiden's Run to the Hills was next on the playlist, and the PAX moseyed to THE HILL at the back of the parking lot, where we did (!?)…you guessed it…2 rounds of uphill Walk Crabs, followed by 10 squats at the top. We also did 1 round of uphill Crawl Bears with Squats.
We moseyed back to the balls, and Amen was positioned in the center of the cirle, when a live version of Shakira's Hips Don't Lie came on. We honored Amen with some J-Lo's (aka Shakira's).
The final arrow in YHC's quiver was The Best Damn Band in the Land's Buckey Battle Cry, where the PAX were led in some Dot-the-i's and Walk the Elbow Planks.
Wounded and bloodied, Amen and YHC shook hands and left the PAX to decide our fate. Based on the fact that i'm writing this, you can determine who won (?), and now must face LKN's Biggest Loser (of weight), the Mean Mister Clean, the Ripped Reaper, the Kung Fu Killer…STAPLER!!!!
I'm coming for YOU!!!
Thanks for loaning us your AO Dingo!
And thanks to the PAX for your support!!
