One of the lads decided to get a little bit drunk on Wednesday morning. And as a result was utterly useless at work on Thursday. Normally of a Thursday afternoon we play sport, be it tennis, basketball, soccer or whatever is decided on the day.
Well since he wanted to drink with the big boys the night before (he's 18) and we got no work out of him all morning, my boss and I decided that he should 'play' with the big boys in the afternoon. Now you have to understand that a person can not be punished as an individual, so how do you get around this you may ask. Easy, everyone does it from the section he works in, as a reward.
34 deg Celsius with a fair bit of humidity, this is going to end in tears.... Well his.
Run 2 km at a medium pace.
Then:
Run back 2 km with rest stations every 400 m.
Rest station 1:
5 rounds of
20m sprint up a 5m high embankment.
Rest between sprints for 30 sec in the squat lowered position
Rest station 2:
3 rounds of:
30 sec squat lowered position
30 sec lunge lowered position (alternate sides on the 2nd round)
30 sec uphill situps
30 sec down hill prone hold
Rest station 3:
5 rounds of:
Sprint 50m up, across and back down 5m embankment
Rest between rounds for 30 sec in the squat lowered position
Rest station 4:
3 rounds of
40m squat jump
40m lunging walk
Rest station 5:
'Team event'
5 rounds of:
T1 Sprint 200m (100 up, 100 back)
T2 Squat Jumps
T3 Jumping Lunges
T1 finishes, T2 does jumping lunges, T3 runs, T1 does squat jumps. 1 round is when every team has completed all three exercises.
Rules for the team event are simple. If someone stops during the squat jumps or jumping lunges, the team runnning must turn around and run back to the 100m mark, but not until the person who has stopped has resumed doing the exercise.
Rest station 5 was not nice for our hung over one. There was retching, racking pains in his stomach, tears and more.
Once it was done:
2 min rest, re-hydrate.
Then:
2 min Squat lowered hold.
This is where it went all pear shaped for the boy who wanted to drink with the men on a school night (work night). Explosive vomit went everywhere, not that dissimilar to Team America. After a solid 2-3 minutes of purging last nights festivities and the litre of water he guzzed during his 2 min of rest, he actually felt better... surprise surprise.
Then:
1 min to rehydrate,,, again
Then:
2 km run at a moderate pace
Then:
1 min rest, re-hydrate
'Team event'
3 rounds:
T1 - 3 x Squat jump 20m, lunge walk 20m
T2 - Jumping lunges whilst T1 is squat jumping and Squat jumps when T1 is lunge walking.
Teams change once T1 has completed their first round.
Then:
1 min rest, re-hydrate
2 km run back at a moderate pace.
Needless to say, there wasn't much alcohol left in him after that.
