10 PAX posted on a frightfully muggy and humid morning at the gloom seeking some tricks and treats…the problem is that there would be only 1 trick and it was that there were no treats to be handed out, only pain would be distributed today. The Halloween theme of the day would be the Olympic Decathlon and YHC was well prepared arriving 45 min early to prep and dress the part. All PAX in costumes as requested so no 500 burpee penalty would be issued. A last minute ambush by the Contra Men who came out Nerf guns a blazin’ and shocked everyone, disclaimer was given and we were off.
THE WARMUP
- SSH – x20 – IC
- COTTON PICKERS – X10 – IC
- MERKINS – X10 – IC
- MOSEY 1 FULL LAP
YHC started the Halloween festivities by catching a few of the PAX off guard as we were rounding the last corner of the lap with the old fake snake laying in the path. The mumble chatter began from there as all PAX were fully awake now…
THE DECATHLON
Split into 2 teams both spaced 40 yds from the center cone. Each team has a lit pumpkin with 10 horrifying exercise riddles inside. Complete each exercise as a team then sprint to the center cone and back…rinse and repeat until all 10 have been completed. First team back to the center are the victors and plank until all PAX have arrived.
TEAM GUERRILLA WARFARE COMPRISED OF:
- NO-SEE-UM AND GROUPER AS THE SOLDIERS FROM CONTRA
- DBA AS THE 2 FACED OLD MAN
- BELDING AS WILMA FLINSTONE
- FENWAY AS SCREAM
TEAM OLYMPIA COMPRISED OF:
- ENDO AS BRUCE JENNER 1972 “OLD GLORY” OLYMPIAN

THE EVENTS IN RIDDLE FORM

- ENDO NEEDED TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT FAST BUT WHERE OH WHERE TO BEGIN…HOW ABOUT 75 SSH (IN CAEDENCE) TO START MAKING HIM THIN
- GROUPER PULLED A HAMMY TRIPPING OVER A PUMPKIN AND SOME CUMQUATS…NOW YOU TOO CAN SHARE THE FEELING BY DOING 100 SQUATS

- WHAT COULD BE MORE FRIGHTENING THAN HAKA EATING DONUTS AND SLURPEES…OH YES NOW I REMEMBER PERFORMING 30 STAR JACK BURPEES
Both teams surprisingly finished at almost the exact time although Team Guerrilla Warfare unofficially were the victors. And with just 10 minutes remaining it was time to push the PAX individually with some wind sprints…
