DinosaurEncounter-7-Grid-Index-Image-600

Sorry for the quiet, a strange package arrived in the Den earlier this week and your Guild Leaders have been working to figure out what it is.  After a lot of research, we finally realized it's a time machine that only becomes active when the user performs the correct movement.  So like responsible Assassins, we've keyed it to the Mesozoic Era! :playful:

 

To join the fun, add your name to the spreadsheet.

 

Each day new exercises will be posted that each link to a different dinosaur or other Mesozoic creature.  Complete the exercise to the best of your ability and you'll be transported back in time to observe.  (Don't worry you'll transport back automatically.)

 

Put a mark next to each creature you complete so we can keep score!

 

Details:

-Anyone can join at any time!

-New creatures will be added to the list automatically at 12:01am Eastern Daylight Savings Time each day.  Don't wait for an update on the forums

-Each exercise can be completed at any time after it's been revealed.  You aren't limited to the day it appears.

-Only legitimate attempts at the listed exercise can be counted.  If an exercise is too difficult for you right now, don't worry; easier variants will be included for another creature.

-This sidequest will run from March 18th through May 19th (two challenges).

-If you have any questions, or need help with any of the exercises, just ask!

 

Normal Sidequest Rules:

- Sidequests are not mandatory, feel free to ignore this one if you don't want to participate.  

- Don't let sidequests hinder your own goals.

- If you're not sure how to register something, post it here.

- Keep it simple!

- Don't hurt yourself!

- Don't overwork/burn yourself out!

The Dimorphoden as well! had it been an L sit then easy peasy.... but no!

Yeah, that kind of compression is beyond my ability so I had to lean way back to turn my L into a somewhat obtuse V :D 

 

Some of those yoga poses are just not going to happen :D :D :D

I did a sugarcane pose that I thought was okay and acceptable, however I couldn't talk myself into believing that my V sit was more than just a high L sit :D

I went through and tried to get caught up on everything today (at least the things I am capable of...)  It seems that anything with the gymnasticswod link doesn't work and it redirects to a freeetyleconnection website.  I tried to google the exercises for anything when the link doesn't work, but there are a quite a few different exercises that are all called V-out.  Not sure which one this is supposed to be. @Anim07734

I took a video of mine to check and it turns out that calling whatever I was doing a "v-sit" would be stretching the truth just a liiiiiiitle too far :D

Updated the gymnasticswod links.  Let me know if any others break.  (This is what I get for reusing an old list :playful:)

quad flex link doesn't work

Don't remember what it was supposed to be and couldn't find any other reference to it on Google, so the exercise has been replaced.

Ugh, sorry. I utterly failed to participate in this mini; my challenge goals took up more time and attention than expected. :( 

That's okay, you've got a whole month to catch up!  :friendly_wink:

 

The sidequest is continuing into next challenge and will continue adding new creatures each day!
