Tour de Draftee Stop #7: Battle of Bunker Hill

The Thang

On the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Tour arrived at Mayhem.

Part 1 – The Three Assaults

Three trips up the hill, OYO.

At each bend in the path, the PAX stopped to dodge incoming fire:

• Burpees (10)
• Big Boys (20)
• Mountain Climbers (30)

YHC quickly learned that firing out of the cannon hot has consequences.

Part 2 – Parking Lot Ladder

The original plan called for ladders up and down with DB drills as the mode of travel back to the start each time.

The workout was modified to a ladder up only due to time.

Rollback questioned the selected mode of transportation early in the evolution. Five minutes later, he agreed it had been the correct decision.

Three rounds of the seven-rung ladder:

• Side Lunges
• Merkins
• Reverse Lunges

Part 3 – Whites of Their Eyes

Partner work.

One PAX held high plank while the other performed American Hammers to fatigue.

Then switch.

Finish with Mary.

The Story

• YHC came out of the gate hot during the first assault but quickly found himself attempting to keep pace with Zima and Pele’.
• To their credit, both men came back for the six. Leave no man behind. True HIMs.
• Plenty of chatter centered around the Tour standings. Rumor has it Rollback and Pele’ hold the early lead, but a full pack remains close behind.
• The biggest victory of the morning wasn’t a hill conquered or a ladder completed but that an FNG posted.
  • Trey answered the call.
  • The name Hairnet received consideration.
  • But Lunch Lady just seemed right.
  • Welcome to F3, Lunch Lady.

Tour Update
