Field Day Fun

With all of the fun stuff happening in the workouts lately, I thought I would put my spice into the mix.

It was a cold, dark morning when I arrived in the gloom to see Dolph and Whoopie there.  Whoopie has been putting in some work for the rucking workout…yes, that is somewhat of a double entendre.  Anyway,  time comes and we circle up and with the running shoes on my toes, this is how it goes.

Disclaimer

Pledge

WU – SSH x10ic, Don Quixote x10ic, MNC x25ic

The Thang – Mosey to the front of the school for a relay.  Count off into threes.  #1 runs the loop around the front, #2 does one merican and five squats, #3 planks and move to the next station as a new man comes around.  Not really much of a time element to it, just more of a feel.  I enjoyed doing this by breaking the run up.

Next over to the golf ball bucket with the spoons.  I hijacked the spoons from the house and did a modified egg carry.  If the golf ball dropped, you had to do three burpees.  At the end, winners had to do five burpees.  There was some cheating by some folks who wont be mentioned by name, but ones claims to be a heart doctor and the other has severe competition issues.

Next was the shuttle run.  This was a little tight in the space designated and with Dolph and Breaker Breaker running at each other, they both moved in the same direction to get out of each others way and it did not work well.

Then to the wheelbarrow race.  Odd number so YHC decided to do burpees while all teams finished.

Then the bearcrawl race….that sucked so a quick jailbreak to the start for a good old fashioned game of freeze tag with some changes.  Everyone is it and if tagged, do 10 audible SSH and get back after it.  If tagged again, plank until no one is left.  We did to games and then some Mary.  All pax got the chance to call out an exercise and I love finishing with abs.

Announcements – Xmas party 12/1/17, Convergence at the Scheile 12/2/17 (bring toys for operation sweet tooth), we need Qs.  Stand up and lead either for the first time or again.  The numbers seem to dip down again around this time of year.  Be thinking if you want to take over site Q responsibility at any AOs.

Prayers – Brownstreak and his losses/setbacks (he took the Q today and it was awesome to see him), Tesla and his sister, Stroganoff and the loss of his uncle.

COT and out!!!

Always a pleasure men.

Tabata Hell

It was a perfect weather Wednesday Nov 29th at SnoBalls and the pax were out in full force with 16 #HIM ready to Get Some.  Don’t know if it was the weather or having Brownstreak back but the morning somehow felt special so I mustered all the strength I had to deliver a beatdown the pax would soon want to forget.  After usual disclaimer started with warm-up at Whoopee pace:

 

20 SSH

10 Merkins,

25 Flutterkicks

 

Pledge then time to Get Some

The Thang:

Mosey to picnic tables for some upper body Tabata work

3 sets of merkins, 3 sets of Dips, 3 sets of Derkins AMAP for 30 sec each with 20 sec rest in between.  It was a real crowd pleaser (pretty sure no one could raise an arm afterwards as if they could I’m sure I would have been jacked). Mosey to parking lot for some ab work in the form of 11s with Flutterkicks and American Hammers.  Tclaps to Short Sale. who made it look like childs play.  Then mosey back to turd shack for another round of Tabata 3 sets of wall sits, Sumo Squats and Burpees again 30 sec each with 20 sec rest.  Wrap up by moseying back to SnoBalls for Stroganoff Flutters to exhaustion.  Strong work today by all who went head to head in a battle royale of you vs. you and won!

Thanks for all pax in F3 family and the  encouragement we get from each other.  Thanks for healthy minds and bodies to post.  And special thanks to have Brownstreak back in action!!!
