“Mark Klement” Hero WOD

11 PAX posted at the finest evening AO in F3 Nation, Midoriyama.  Since I had the Q, why not introduce the PAX to another hero that lost their life protecting and serving.  It went like this….

WARM-UP:

SSH x 20 IC

Don Q’s x 10 IC

Let’s mosey…it’s always nice to stay in a pack and hear all the mumble chatter that goes on.  We stopped at a nice grassy area to put in work.

THANG:

Tonight we honored “Mark Klement”…please take time to read about him below.

It went like this:

74 – 44 – 11 Reps of each:

  • Burpees
  • Merkins
  • Big Boy Sit-Ups
  • Squats

With time still remaining we moseyed some more around the park making our way back to the flag.

Triple nickle was called out:

One curb – Mike Tyson’s x 5

1 Burpee in the middle

Other curb – Squats x 5

1 Burpee in the middle

Rinse and repeat for 5 sets

Finally 22 for the VETS…..TIME!!!

Crowded at Crossroads

MDub not feeling well so he asked someone to take the Prison Break Q (not Crossroads, Q Fail) so as I arrived I announced I would take it. It is a pretty cold morning around 30 degrees. I have seen Sparky, Dr. Seuss and Sister Act running pretty fast near the Courthouse on my way in. I heard Volt and Kingpin are already out there. We have 2 FNG’s invited by Sparky and here he comes back to ruck with them. Seuss and SA keep going their usual fast pace toward the college. Broke started slow and then passed everybody before we got to the college. Must’ve had a lot of caffeine. Slaw tries to chase Broke. Me, Blart and Montross try to chase Slaw. We see Oompa already running at the college. The FNG’s are rucking with Big Pappy, Wichita and Sparky. Several did EC, Some ran 5. Some ran less than 5. Some rucked. Some walked. Initial count was 19 but a recount revealed a total of 18 for Prison Break! That has to be close to a record! Nice work guys! FNG’s: Brent Green is named LB (short for Luke Bryan I believe). Jonathon Bates is named Callahan from his work in Auto Parts (Tommy Boy movie reference, I saw that one).
