Running The Rooster

March 3, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Third Annual Rooster Relay. YHC has been to all three events, and have enjoyed each one of them. It is always goods times, getting to get in some fast laps and fellowship with Gashouse brothers and meet other F3 brothers from other regions. Not mention, The Rooster is always a good cause, raising money for local charities…This year proceeds went to the Rock Hill Men’s Shelter, $2300 was raised. Nice!

This years relay started a little earlier than in the past from what I remember. Teams had to be in Rock Hill around 5:30am and start was @ 6am. It was also cold with some wind..

Gashouse was well represented, 3 running teams and 3 rucking teams…. Well Done Gashouse!

The Rooster is a 26 mile relay or some call “The Fastest Marathon”. Teams are made up of 5 runners or an ultra team, 2 runners. Each team runs 26 miles. Full teams (5 man) , each runner has 5 x 1 mile laps with the final lap ran as a team to make 26 miles. The ultra teams run 12 x 1 mile laps and finish the last together.

Gashouse had 2 four man teams and 1 full five man team. I really don’t know where each team placed, but I know we all did well. We all were running laps like we were at Dover International Speedway, going Nascar fast, round and round, all left turns!

Somewhere around YHC’s 3rd leg, Dirt and I took off at the same time. We stayed close to each other most of the loop, but YHC was pulling away just a little. With about 50 yards left before the exchange zone, Dirt calls out that he was catching me, before I knew, we were side by side with a photo finish, I believe Dirt had me with an arm reach. Way to go Dirt!

All in all, we had a great time…Looking forward to next years Rooster!

Welcome Back Qotter

March 2, 2020 / / 0 Comments

After a 26 month hiatus from leading a workout, I couldn’t help but sign up when Sargento put the EH on me in early Jan for a leading a workout at The Ricky Bobby.  Since it has been almost 2 weeks since the workout, I don’t remember too much about it other than the fact that it was cold, it didn’t rain, if you didn’t wear a toboggan you felt left out, and Virus outran all of use despite the fact that, I think, he is older than Gump and Buckeye combined.

Warm Up

SSH x 20 (IC)

Goofballs x 20 (IC)

Maybe one other exercise, I think, but don’t remember, maybe Tool Times (Don Quixote’s)

 

Mosey to the track

 

The Thang- also known as “The Dab”

Exercise 1- 30 Mericans in 1 minute

Exercise 2- 30 groiners in 1 minute

Exercise 3- 45 second plank (then rest 15 seconds to get to a minute)

Exercise 4- 40 squats in 1 minute

Exercise 5- 30 Def Leppards

Run 1 lab

Repeat 3 more times

 

Dora 1-2-3

100 Diamond Pushups

200 Seal Jacks

300 LBC- Omaha to 200 because of time

 

YHC had a meeting at 7 AM and had to take off right at 615, so Sargento took the men out. You would have had to show to know for this part. It was great to work out with a great group of HIMs on a cold Wednesday morning. Maybe I’ll Q again in another couple of years!!
