For How Long?

With temps hitting the upper 70’s Thursday it was starting to feel like Midoriyama again. Last week we set a new record of 17 PAX to post in one day. Pizza Man put out the challenge to break it again and he was not disappointed. 18 deep for a beatdown.

Warmup:

SSH x 15ic

Don Q’s x 15ic

Morroccan Nightclubs x 15ic

Mosey to the soccer field. Since we had a few more pax a few carried a few extra blocks I brought just in case.

The Thang:

A few weeks ago Floppy brought back our old circuit training and I thought it would be a great day to do some more. I had 9 exercises to do for a length of time then 1 minute in between each round of something else(not rest). Most of the time it was sprint across the field or SSH. I never told anyone how long each round was and as many know it’s the not knowing that gets you. I was repeatedly asked “for how long” and Billy Madison kept trying to sneak a peek.

1)Bear Crawl to Merkin

2)Lunge Twist w/blocks

3)Weighted Situp

4)Curls

5)Single leg hip raise

6)Box Thruster

7)Plank Hop to Squat

8)Step ups while holding the block

Mosey back to the flag

9)Low Box Plank Stepper

Circle up-22 for the Vets

Pledge- Since I’m now coming in hot everyday I seem to have forgotten to put up the shovel flag so Slaw held it out for the pledge. Gracias Sir!

COT:

Namerama

Announcements-Get your mudrun teams together and get the info to me or Brownstreak, Community Run coming up. Let’s get out and be seen in Gtown, March 11th Disk golf at goat island, March 18th Convergence at The Fighting Yank.

Prayer Request-Our F3 brother in Grandstrand Dipstick’s family, Lil Beast’s Grandmother has a surgery coming up for cancer, YHC Grandmother fell and is in a lot of pain

Moleskin:

Great work by all today. I’m so proud to be a part of this group and to call each of you brothers! Let’s keep growing and pushing the rock.

Road Rage

Whoopee almost went full on road rage on me on the drive to the Pavilion.  He was telling the PAX all about it when the clock struck 0630 and I cut him off for the second time of the day!  #hedidntrecognizethenewwheels

Brief disclaimer, pledge of allegiance, and then Stone Cold led us into a quick Indian Run around the parking lot and back to start for the warm up that sort of never ended.

We lined up for the Rockette Hillbilly:  Bring a knee to elbow like a hillbilly and then high kick.  Fortunately we had no spectators due to the darkness but we may have to do this during the Community Foundation Run.  My apologies to T-Square for being politically incorrect.  It should have been called “Rockette Appalachian Americans”.

Squats

Butt Kicker Circle Burps

Calf Raises

Domino Merkins  5 each way then back    Side plank…front plank…other side plank

CDD’s

Lunge/Bear Crawl around the Pavilion twice

Merkins to failure on grass, then assisted Merkins, then negatives.  Some people liked being in the grass too much but most had the mucho chesto going on afterwards

Run to top of parking deck:  Round of Hip slappers x 10, run down to bars on second floor for max pullups  3 rounds

All eleven of the PAX returned to the Pavilion for a quick T-Square count off and then the Field of Dreams.

Count off by fours:

1st base  AMRAP SQUATS

2nd base  AMRAP Merkins

3rd base  AMRAP LBC’s

Home Plate 15 burpees

Circle up for Mary:  Stroganoff led a 4 count series of Flutter Kicks (what else?) for 61?  As far as I know that is a record and I am not sure anyone completed all of them except Stroganoff.

Then Stone Cold called 10 burpees to end the workout because, well, he is Stone Cold.

Even though I had a Weinke I must need glasses because I skipped over two parts that would have been real crowd pleasers.  I will have something to work into next time.  While my group was on third base, Turtle Man remarked that he has never seen his knees steam.  You could tell temps were up a little due to the short sleeves, summer gloves, and pools of sweat all over the place.  At some point we heard a train and did 10 burpees.  I think it was toward the end?

Announcement:  Whoopee is having a post-holiday, pre-birthday party on the 29th of April.  Gifts are optional but strongly encouraged.  The coffee shop doesn’t open at 0600 anymore…sigh.

Prayer requests:  Def Leppard’s M is having surgery on March 8th.  Prayers for Dipstick’s family in Myrtle Beach.  Convergence to honor Dipstick’s life is March 4th at 0700 at #warthog (The Market Common, Myrtle Beach)  Nomads?

Thanks for Spiderman for letting me Q this week. It is always a great start to the day.
