Where is the comet?

We did some stuff. Could not find the comet. Sargento verified the northwestern sky.   We did zero merkins. That’s right SA. Zero. Also golddigger and wet nutz were not here today.

Tooltime’s WOD

12 PAX showed up for what would eventually be called the smallest WOD in F3 Gastonia. Coincidentally this name came from the smallest F3 Gastonia PAX, go figure! Weather was a bit dicey at times but we risked it all to get it done.

Warmup:

Ask Purple Haze oh wait he wasn’t there yet.

SSH x 20ic

Let’s Mosey to the far soccer field

The Thang:

Tooltime’s WOD

Triple Nickel-Run a lap(we chose to go around both soccer fields)  do 5 exercises 5 ic of each. Rinse and repeat 5 times. Exercises were Don Q(because it’s Tooltime, you know), Merkin(his favorite), Pickle Pounder(because it’s always his anniversary), V up roll up, Crunchy Frog.

That’s it! After some thought I decided that the WOD doesn’t have to take the whole time. It can be a part of a workout thus the smallest WOD I’ve created.

The rain was starting to come down at this point so we made our way back to the start.

Not a part of the WOD but to finish we did it Tooltime style. Core time for Tooltime.

Mostly 20ic of each of the following.

The alphabet(not 20ic)

American Hammer

LBC

Nolan Ryan

Freddy Mercury

Plank 1 minute

Pretzel Crunch

Boat Canoe

Time! Note I put each of those on a line by them selves to make the WOD look bigger than it actually is.

COT:

Announcements-Ch 35 on XM is the Beastie Boy channel. I hope you tuned in last night because that went away this morning 🙁

Prayer Request

Prayer

Namerama-Q fail here. I’m not sure where my head was at but as always you can depend on some correction from your brothers.

Naked Moleskin-Some reasons I did a hero WOD for Tooltime. He has as much candor as I do(Broke disagreed). I can tell him anything and I don’t feel the slightest bit of judgement. He is determined. Once he decides on something he gives his all to accomplish it.

11x11s

14 PAX showed on the 14th for a GD workout called 11x11s in what felt like 114 degrees. If you really need someone to explain it to you, we did 11s, 11 times. Except we only did 6. We tried.

Show up next time to know.

Midweek Countdown

13 PAX made it out to Labyrinth this morning for a midweek workout in weather that was “slightly” better than it has been in previous days. After a disclaimer and the pledge we headed out toward Planet Fitness where we would do the warmup.

 

Countdown – 10 to 1

Seal Jacks, Merkins, Big Boys and Squats at an uptempo pace with no rest between sets.

 

Partner up on one side of the parking lot. Partner 1 performs AMRAP of called exercise while Partner 2 sprints across lot and performs a set number of reps of a different exercise. Flapjack.

Round 1 – Flutter kicks, 10 Burpee’s

Round 2 – Freddie Mercury’s, 20 Diamond Merkins

Round 3 – Dying Cockroaches, 20 Werkins

Round 4 – LBC’s, 10 Burpee’s

 

Mosey around the lot to the wall beside the car wash for some Lindsay’s. 30 Wall Jumps and 10 Mike Tysons. Repeat with 25/15, 20/20, 15/25, 10/30.

 

Recover with some wall sits. PAX line up on the wall doing wall sit and each PAX takes a turn running a lap through the car wash.

 

Loop around Riverwood Parkway on the way back and stop and the bank for some Route 66 in the parking lot. Lunge walk and squats then repeat with bear crawl and Merkins. Time is officially up!

 

NMM/COT

Colossians 4:6 – “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

A Christian should speak in ways that are uplifting and helpful and our faith should be evident in our speech.

I don’t make it over to this side of town to workout as often as I should, but each time I do I’m impressed with the work this group of PAX is putting in. It was a pleasure to lead this morning and I appreciate the opportunity.

 

YHC took us out.
