The Storm 3/19

11 men weathered the Storm this morning and put in some work.  First time being the Q at The Storm, so I appreciated the opportunity to lead today.  With it being my first Q here, I definitely felt like I needed to bring my A game, and not disappoint.  5:30 hits, time to go!

Warm-Up:

SSH, Hillbillies, Grass Pickers

The Thang:

Mosey to the front of the school where I believe is the school bus drop-off area. We started at the roundabout and used the driveway that circles up to school and back.  We would stay here for the first called exercise.  First exercise is the Zachary Tellier workout.  For those not familiar with this, it is a workout created to honor the life of Zachary Tellier. He is a local guy who paid the ultimate sacrifice serving in the line of duty.  Start out with 10 Burpees, then run the loop.  Then do 10 Burpees, 25 Merkins, run the loop.  Next 10 Burpees,. 25 Merkins, 50 Lunges, run the loop. Next is 10 Burpees, 25 Merkins, 50 Lunges, 100 LBCs, run the loop.  Finally do 10 Burpees, 25 Merkins, 50 Lunges, 100 LBCs, 150 Squats, run the loop.  Good work by all.  Adding the running in with all the exercise reps,  definitely gets the blood a flowing.

We still have some time, so we mosey to the parking lot to the right of the school in between the tennis courts.  We used the entire parking lot to do some 4 corner work.  Start at 1st corner and do 10 Hand Release Merkins.  Mosey to 2nd corner and do 10 HR Merkins, 20 Jump Lunges.  Mosey to 3rd corner 10 HR Merkins, 20 Jump Lunges, 30 Mountain Climbers(count right side only).  Mosey to 4th corner for 10 HR Merkins, 20 Jump Lunges, 30 MC, 40 Little Man in the Woods(SSH in squat position).  Also referred to as Little Gumby in the Woods.  Blood is definitely flowing now, but we still have more time.  So why not run this back in reverse.  Start at corner we are at for 40 Little Gumby’s, 30 MC, 20 Jump Lunges, 10 HR Merkins. Mosey to next corner 30 MC, 20 Jump Lunges, 10 HR Merkins.  Next corner is 20 Jump Lunges, 10 HR Merkins.  Last corner for 10 HR Merkins.  Mosey back to flag. Good work men.
