Wheel of Misfortune

This is complicated, please watch video for workout descriptions and exercise standards.

Set Up:
Place the Shovel Flag (or a cone) in the center of the field. Then place 6 cones evenly spaced in a circle 25 yards from the Shovel Flag in the center. Each cone represents a 25 yard(75ft) spoke on a wheel. 

Requires a 75ft measurement. Use pre-measured string, measuring tape, or a measuring wheel, etc. to accurately set the cones. 
Requires 6 cones or other location marking device. Shirts or towels work great in a pinch. 
Requires a concrete coupon weighing a minimum of 35lbs. 
Requires 400m measured.  

Scoring: Total reps completed in 43 minutes.  

The time begins with the start of the 400m run and ends 43 mins later with your final rep. The total reps completed in 43 minutes is your final score.
*The 400m run does not count towards the rep total, but MUST be completed at the beginning of each round.

**This completes one full round** 

Rinse and repeat for 43 minutes. 

The Particulars:
Begin each round with a 400 meter run then perform the exercises as prescribed.
Note that a 7th set of Thrusters has to be completed to end each round prior to running the 400 meters for the next round. 

Best practice – keep track of your total rounds completed.  Each full round is 220 reps.  Your final round will likely be a partial round so you will need to calculate the reps in that partial round manually and add to total.  Formula: (# of full rounds * 220 reps) + (partial round reps) = Total reps

Example – PAX completes 2 full rounds and makes it through 15 Weighted Squats

Formula: 
(2 full rounds * 220 reps) + (10 thrusters+25 decline merkins+10 thrusters+25 blockees+10 thrusters+15 weighted squats) = Total reps
(440)+(95)= total reps
535 = total reps
