Mosey to open field area. Conditions were cold, below freezing, and about 6” of snow on the ground. Q chose an open area with snow that had not been trampled on… yet.

Circled around Betty the Bell. PAX all performed 55 LBC’s to celebrate Tupac’s 55th birthday today. Then Q explained the rules of the Let the Good Times Roll beatdown.

Beatdown: 21 minutes of rolling dice; 8 minutes of core; 21 minutes of rolling dice
• Rolling dice: PAX form a circle. Start with one PAX who rolls all three dice. The first number corresponds to the exercise; the second number is the number of base reps; the third number is the multiplier of the base reps. For example: PAX rolls 1-3-4 = exercise one for 12 reps (3 reps x 4 multiplier). Entire PAX suffers the same routine based on each roll and gives 100% until 25% of PAX completes the exercise reps. Once you complete the exercise, you plank in the middle until 25% of PAX are planking. Once 25% complete, we move to the next member of the circle and repeat. For today’s beatdown, the magic number was 4, the first 3 to finish plank, then the fourth rings the bell, we reset and move on to next roll.
