Old Faithful – 20 to 1

As I joined The Matrix via Zoom this morning, I immediately saw Sledgeomatic and could tell he had some things running through his mind. It was 5:31 am so I’m sure those questions were “am I all alone”, “who is the Q”, “should I go back to bed”…things like that. No one else was online so the 2 of us decided to put in some work! Since the Ville to Ville Relay is coming up this weekend, I wanted to keep it low impact and focus on coupon work.

Warmup –
SSH and Don Quixotes

Thang –
20 to 1 coupon work. I grabbed a cinder block, Sledge had the kettlebell of his choice (I can neither confirm nor deny he used a Bulldog). We started with 20 reps of each exercise, then 19, then 18…all the way to 1.

Exercises were:

Overhead Press
Curls
Tricep Extensions
Goblet Squats
LBCs

The humidity made it very unpleasant, for sure. That suffering was, however, exceeded by the privilege of getting some work in with Sledge. Thanks for joining!

Prayer Requests: Sledgeomatic’s and Montross’s 2.0s, HIPAA, all those facing the Mental Battle, Montross’s Aunt. YHC took us out in prayer.

  • Montross

Solo at Starkville

YHC felt like he was back in junior high. YHC created a sweet mixtape with no one to give it too.  The playlist included snippets from Adrian Cronauer,  Snoopy vs the Red Baron,  Ragged Old Flag, and the Ballad of the Green Berets.

YHC took a mosey to the horse stables and went through the F3 deck of pain, less the lunges, (YHC did plenty of those at Mt Hollywood.) then mosey back to start.

Prayers

  • Whoopee

Digger Day 2/2

While no one seemed to care about a non-running GD workout (about as rare as a Leppard merkin), PAX came crawling out of the woodwork for an all-running GD workout (about as common as an SA fart).

9 PAX joined in Plan A, 5 stayed for Plan B, which made us about as 69 compliant as Slaw in the navy.

Plan A was to run as far as possible, stopping every quarter mile for either 5 burpees, 10 merkins, 15 squats, or 20 SSH. Most got around 4.5 miles.

Plan B was to chill out at the flag and do the AMRAP crap from Digger Day 1/2. I think all agreed Plan A was preferable.

Until next time,

GD

Digger Day 1/2

Been a while since YHC has graced the Goat with his presence, so it seemed about time to rectify this situation. The AO was brimming with excitement at the thought of a post-quarantine beatdown, which was exemplified by the large number of PAX in attendance.

The above was sarcastic, the below was not.

42 minutes of AMRAP crap rotating through body parts like Frankenstein creating his monster. Show to know.

Until next time (11.25 hours later),

GD
