Das Blitzkrieg with Spatzle

QIC: Spatzle

AO: The Furnace

Excited to lead the PAX through his first full Q Spatzle planned out a special history lesson to incorporate into this workout while generously borrowing from @Plunger’s Q a few weeks back

The Thang

• Indian Run Around The Park – Curtain Call was a beast at this and made short work of making it to the head of the PAX.  Road Rash exclaimed how excited he was to be running more today than he had in the last few years.  Good morale-boosting mumble chatter kept the PAX going!

Then we headed to the hill on Osborn where Spatzle began his history lesson and his new workout plan for the PAX. . .

• The Paul Revere! In honor of this date in history (April 18) and Paul Revere’s historic ride in the 1700’s the PAX teamed up into pairs with one teamate doing 17 (from the century 1700’s) 4×4’s (burpee, merican x4, mountain climbers x4) while the other ran over the hill and back.

It should be noted that Sweatervest was certain he would complete all 17 4×4’s before his teammate returned.  He was sorely mistaken (see what I did there?)

• The Paul Revere Continues. . . after completing the group sets of 17 and a 10 count recover from Road Rash Spatzle continued his history lesson. . . in more precise fashion.  Not only was Paul Revere born in the 1700’s, he was specifically born in 1734.  Being a numbers guy, Spatzle figured the only appropriate end to the workout would be to finish Paul Revere’s DOB to add the 34 with an additional 17 team 4×4’s. . . . REPEATO!!!

Mosey to field.  Paul Revere had 8 children so in honor of those 8 souls we laid down. . . . Crazy 8’s!

• Station 1: Burpees X8
• Station 2: Diamond Merkins x16
• Station 3: Jump Squats X24
• Station 4: American Hammer X32

By this point C(L)ockblocker’s mumble chatter had turned to angry remarks at Spatzle’s unjust treatment of a patriotic figure as a gut-busting workout regime.
