Tuna 200 RESPECT

8 great men joined in on an Honorary workout for the 12 runners and 2 drivers that completed the Tuna 200. There were over 200 reps, 36 exercises, and some fierce partnered-up competitive races.  It was definitely an interesting workout. I may have gotten a little carried away with it to show them the RESPECT they deserved. One things for sure, I think each of us was challenged and that’s when and where growth occurs… Aye?!?!?!

WARM-UP: Toy Soldiers, Moroccan Nightclubs,  Annie (10 count), Fairy Jacks (10 in cadence) and Mosey….

THE THANG:

Partnered-up competitive races, 3 legs to the race with each leg being 20 yard dashes. At the end of each leg, was an exercise. Did 3 rounds of this with each round having different exercises at the end of each leg. Exercises – CDDs, Sumo Squat Knife Hands, Merkins, Monkey Crunches, LBCs, Mountain Climbers, Burpees, Shoulder Taps. While one partner was doing the legs, the other ones would be rotating through different exercises – planks, squats, squat holds, etc…There was definitely some Omaha going on…And Mosey back to swing set near fighting yank…

Did a remix of Colonel Trautman with same partners, 10 merkins and 5 Wooly Worms, 3X. While one did the exercises, the other did elbow planks, and then we Mosey to near the water fountain…

Triple Nickle with 5 burpees run 30 yards then legs in full extension crunches, 5X and then, Ring of fire around the water fountain. Each person picked an exercise.

We ended all of this with an honorary set of 12 Merkins, in Cadence, for F3 Gastonia team in the Tuna 200

Well done gentlemen!

Gashouse 200

I knew the numbers would be down since some of our PAX were getting it done at the Tuna 200 CSAUP event.  So as a tongue in cheek tribute, I came up with the Gashouse 200.  This was a Weinke that is best for a large number of PAX as a team format.  We only had 8 total and since Rudolph had a sick kid he had cancelled the Painlab but Oompa Loopma was having none of it and decided to Q so he and Sledge-O-Matic stayed back for Pain while the other 6 of us divided into two teams.  After a quick warmup and pledge we kicked off the Gashouse 200.  Team One consisted of EZ Rider, Lil Sweet, and TopHat.  Team Two was YHC, Happy Feet, and Davinci.  After the second station, we decided to stick together as a group and that was a good call for enhanced fellowship.  With more PAX it would have been a full on jailbreak race.  I will pull this one out again and improve it based on the lessons learned.  Anyway, here is what we did…

 

1.     Mosey to steps at Grier JR High.  P1 and P2 run, P3 does Merkins….you get the idea Dora 200 Merkins

 

Dora 200 LBC
Dora 200 Air Squats
2.    Mosey to the back of FPC  to the outdoor worship benches near Parkwood (Teams can’t start until all members present) 200 tricep dips (alternate partners until complete)
3.    Mosey to the gristmill at the Schiele Nature Trail 200 combined Air Squats
4.    Mosey to the gazebo at the pond 200 combined Air Squats (I like air squats)
5.    Mosey to the Indian Village 200 Combined lunge walks
6.    Mosey to the Playscape Village 200 Combined SSH

 

7.    Mosey to the Pain Lab area 200 Step Ups

 

FINISH AT THE WARM UP AREA AND WAIT FOR THE SIX 200 second Plank

Happy Feet hasn’t been to a workout since F3Dads Martha Rivers edition and it was great having him today.  Oompa and Sledge took a pass when they were invited to finish the 200 with the rest of us on the trail.  It was great seeing TopHat somewhere besides the Goat!  Several PAX had to work so only three showed for Coffeerama.  We missed the rest but had prayers for the Tuna 200 participants and EZ Rider had a prayer for a very young man who had a kidney removed recently.

The PAX were wondering if the Linus will lead us in the Great Pumpkin again this year.  Next Saturday would be the day.  Will we see the Great pumpkin?  Will we see Linus?

As always it was a pleasure to lead this fine group of men!
