WOD #1 – “Pumpkin Purgatory”
4 Rounds For Time (20 Minute Time Cap):
50 Pumpkin OH Lunge Walk Steps
50 Pumpkin Thrusters
150m Pumpkin Obstacle Course Run
This will be a relay event. In any order, Athlete 1 (A1) will start the workout at the countdown of 3,2,1, GO. They will pick up their pumpkin, complete one entire round, and pass their pumpkin to A2 who will be standing in the designated area to start the next round. Each athlete is to complete one round. Once the last athlete has completed the final round, the time will be marked down. The fastest time wins the event. If a team is unable to finish the workout within a 20-minute time cap, the total amount of reps completed as a team will be used for scoring. The highest amount of reps completed as a team will rank with a higher finish (still behind those who completed the workout), and a 5-point penalty will be awarded for not finishing.
Movement Standards
OH Lunge Walk – The athlete is to start in a standing position with the pumpkin pressed overhead. They are to step forward with one leg while the pumpkin is held over their head and step back up fully extending the hip. The knee MUST touch the ground and the pumpkin MUST be overhead at ALL times while in motion. Continue this pattern alternating legs until 50 steps have been achieved. If the athlete doesn’t fully extend at the hip or if the pumpkin touches, or rests on the athlete anywhere but overhead it is a no rep if a step has been taken or is currently being taken. As well, if the athlete puts the pumpkin on the ground at any point, the other 3 remaining team members MUST complete 5 synchronized burpees until the current working athlete can start working again.
Pumpkin Thrusters – The athlete is to start in a standing position with the pumpkin in a front rack position. They are to squat (past 90 degrees at the hip) and thrust the pumpkin overhead completing full lockout at the knee, hip, shoulder and elbow joints. No reps will be given for not achieving proper depth or complete lockout.
Obstacle Course Run – Holding the pumpkin however necessary, the athlete is to move 150m (within the designated obstacle course) however they may.
Burpee (Penalty) – Each of the non working athletes are to all lie down simultaneously so all of their chests hit the ground at the same time. They are then to get up onto their feet (however possible) and jump/clap at the same time to finish the movement. These will only be performed if the pumpkin touches the ground at any point during the workout. No reps will be handed out if a team is not in synchronicity. As well, the athlete currently working does NOT perform these Burpees.
