11 HIMS accepted the challenge and participated in a scavenger hunt around our beloved city of Lagrange. The HIMS met at the Statue of Col. William Oldham and separated into two teams. Each team was given a clue to begin their hunt. Before they read the clue they had to perform the workout on the front of the envelope. From this point in the blast you will read TEAM 2’s perspective.
The first envelope has us perform 25 Merkins. Clue 1: This is home to many F3 workouts. Farmers also call this place home on Saturday Mornings. We all knew this was our beloved Pavilion. Team 2 moves out!
Upon arriving at the Pavilion and finding the envelope 30 were on demand. Clue 2: At this location you might find someone performing a “GNARLY” Grind. Tony Hawks Paradise! We headed to the SKATE Park.
The envelope at the Skate Park had the HIMS knock out 10 Burpees. Clue 3: This location is a Judgement Free Zone!! My favorite color is Purple. This could only be Planet Fitness! AKA Planet PIZZA! Team two is on the move again.
Upon arriving at Planet Pizza we could see the staff and members eyeballing us. I am confident they were wondering who these AWESOME Hunks were rolling into the Judgement Free Zone! We found the envelope with our required exercise and clue. MONKEY HUMPERs were on the menu!! After looking like complete morons, we opened the next clue. Clue #4: This location is located in the MIDDLE of many Lagrange residents final resting place. Holy Roller knew the exact location. Team 2 was now moving to the Cemetery.
Now we have 5 men, mostly dressed in black running through a cemetery while still dark outside. I can only imagine how this may appear to your average citizen. We made our way to the middle and located our next exercise and clue. 40 Mountain Climbers ( 4 Count) was the challenge. Clue 5: I am many residents favorite “HOMETOWN” restaurant. Hometown Pizza here we come!!
We are now running out of the Cemetery. Next thing we see is one of Lagrange’s finest with his sitting in Dairy Queen’s Parking lot with his spot light on us as we run past him. Fortunately he did not stop TEAM 2.
We arrive at HOMETOWN Pizza. This is where we cross paths with TEAM 1 heading the other direction. Both teams knock out 40 Side Straddle Hops. Clue 6: This is where you go to learn about Trains. This could only be the Train Museum. Holy Roller lead the way up the hill and through several back streets.
At the Train Museum Team 2 knocked out 40 in cadence flutter kicks. Clue 7: This is where heroes work. They drive a big red truck. Lagrange Fires Station next stop.
Upon arriving at the Fire Station the HIMS wondered around for a couple minutes looking for the clue. Finally finding it 25 Lunges were on the menu. Clue 8: This is where you go to renew your license plate. County Clerks office here we come.
Almost home. 25 Big Boys to knock out. DK lead the charge and called out our reps. Clue 9: I am standing on a big rock holding a Black Powered Rifle. My name is Col. William Oldham! This was the final stretch.
Team 2 is headed to the finish line. As we round the corner to much demise, we see TEAM 1 is beat us home!!
Both Teams completed the course of almost 2.5 miles in 30 minutes. We finished the workout with 15 minutes of Mary!! Yankovic led us with some Manatees and Focker ordered up some T Bones. Jazz Hand was very Angry has he led us in some Angry Side Straddle Hops. Holy Roller had to show us all up and called out Burpees. All of us normal mortals did the regular 2 handed burpees. Of course Holy being the machine he is was knocking them out with 1 arm!!
Close in COT with numerous intentions.
It appeared a great time was had by all. We all were at least 1% better at the end.
