Day: January 8, 2020

Substitute Slaw

Blart was scheduled for the Q at Midoriyama. He gave me a little notice saying he might not make it due to work. By lunchtime, it was confirmed that he couldn’t make it and he asked YHC to pick up the Q. I had a few hours to whip up my Weinke, so I headed to the F3 Exicon and the crossfit bodyweight WOD website. I rolled in, changed my clothes, and walked into the typical gauntlet of Midoriyama mumblechatter.  When Gold Digger realized I was subbing for Blart, he compared me to Josh McCown being subbed in for Carson Wentz in the Philadelphia/Seattle game this past weekend! One thing I love about the Midoriyama boys is they tell you how they feel!

W/U:

20 Seal Jacks IC

15 Don Quixotes

20 Moroccan N/C’s

Stretch Right leg over Left 10 seconds

Stretch Left leg over Right 10 seconds

Thang:

Mosey to long parking lot on the other side of the playground for The Longest Mile:

4 rounds of:

10 Burpees

100 Meter Run

10 Hand Release Merkins

100 Meter Run

10 Squats

100 Meter Run

10 Big Boy situps

100 Meter Run

Next, we headed to a small hill for some 11’s with Squats at the top of the hill, run down the hill, Mike Tysons at the bottom, then Joe Hendricks (reverse bear crawl up the hill). All PAX were doing great until the Q realized everyone had Omaha’d to Nurring up the hill instead of Joe Hendricks. Even Gold Digger modified after round 4!

Mosey back to the parking lot closest to the flag and do some Ascending Curb Crawls. Feet up on the curb, perform 1 Derkin. Bear Crawl across the parking lot, 2 Derkins, and so on to 5. The Exicon calls for 13 rounds of this, but time was getting short and the Grantan was giving me Eat $h!t looks.

Back to the flag for a Slawter stopper (20 Burpees) for the finish.

Pledge

Announcements:

New AO at New Hope Elementary (a.k.a. The Ricky Bobby). Sargento is the site Q.

Freight is starting GoRuck training. This Saturday he will be at Folsom. They will start 2 hours before the end of the workout (which is 1 hour before the beginning of the workout if my math is correct). They will be starting at 5:30 at Folsom and finish up to join the bootcampers at the COT. He will be at Gashouse the next Saturday, then The Yank the Saturday after that. If you’re confused by now, just ask Freight.

Prayer Requests:

Swimmer’s Father-in-Law, Timeframe’s M, Tiger’s Dad, Gumby’s upcoming surgery this Friday, Lil’ Sweet (possible surgery), the situation in the Middle East with Iran.

YHC took us out in prayer.

Love ya, mean it!

Calm morning, a little Mumble Chatter but nothing to crazy.

Gastone Out!

 

Motorboat

With the launch of a soon to be named AO on the other end of town, PrisonBreak was a little lighter than usual. That’s ok, cause we were able to welcome an FNG, Evinrude, to the scene. He works with Wichita as a lineman, but his hobby is building outboard race motors for boats, along with many other hobbies. Anyway, there were six total; 2 ruckers and 4 runners. When all made it back to start, we got the pledge in.

COT; Wichita’s dad, Gumby, Volts 2.0
