9/2/21 Ambitious Goat

The Goat is one of my favorite AOs so when I assemble my weinke I always have more work to do than we have time.

Today was no different.   It went something like this.

Warm up with 20 Side Straddle Hop IC / 20 Imperial Walkers IC / 20 Gravel Pickers IC / 20 Moroccan Night Clubs IC

Mosey  towards the train bridge to the upper parking and pick up Maybelline whos coming in hot.  5 Burpees in the upper lot then down the stairs for 5 more Burpees.

Partner up for a little EXTRA.  Asked the pax to grab a partner to work through the next circuit with.  Someone to push, to pull, to encourage and challenge to give a little extra.  Time for Four corners.

Mosey down street to the back of Doffers.  Run around the block with stops for 25 Merkins / Flutters / Squats at each corner.  Start at Doffers,  end at fire station parking lot.

Round two would have been 25 Lunges / Plank Jacks / Freddie Mercuries…  Nope time is ticking.  Mosey to bridge.  Bear crawl as far as you can and lune walk the remainder of the way.  The bridges were wet and slippery so we tried to take it easy here.  Mosey to second bridge.  Another slippery bridge and it was dark so we took an easy mosey across to the back parking lot.

Partner DORA – 100 Jump Squats / 200 Mountain Climbers / 300 LBC

Head to the fence for Incline Merkins / Dips / Derkins NOPE running out of time.

Mosey back to the flag for American Hammers & Box Cutters before time is called.

Supporting each other

I picked up this Q for Ball joint due to an injury and I thought it would be good for us to remember that part of F3 is supporting each other.

Warm up:

10 Don Quixote’s

We moseyed to the Tennis Courts

We then circled up and did Presses, arm extensions, burpees, sit ups, cherry pickers as pax called them out.

Candor with Love

We rucked, walked, or ran.  Then had a discussion on candor.

Ephesians 4:25

Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you uspeak the truth with his neighbor, for vwe are members one of another.

Liar!

8 showed up at Crossroads this Sunday. Some participating in the extra mile challenge and getting in the extra work. Some who said they would be there weren’t and stayed in the fartrecliner, I mean fartsack. The morning temps are getting cooler so it’s a lot better out there. After we meet and discussed candor, telling the hard truth, and why we lie. Great discussion this morning guys! See you next week, as I and hopefully some other Bourbon Chase runners, continue to ramp up for the race!

IPC week 0 at OS

13 showed up at Old School on Saturday for the CAPOOT WOD, week 0 of the Iron Pax Challenge. Even though this one was for practice guys were out there pushing the rock. The 6 was picked up and everyone got better! Next week at the same time at the same place we will do week 1. Come out and get some!

Rudolph’s junk

It was like the Wild Wild West this am at GasHouse. Roscoe and Shortsale did the IPC week 0 challenge, Les Nessman led the PainLab, and the rest of us were entertained?….no, serenaded?……a little, but not really, tormented?…..depends….. but no, molested and scourged?…..sounds about right. We were given more than a full serving of Rudolph at his finest, and he was not even the Q this am??!!  My ears are still burning, so I might not remember it EXACTLY as it happened, but this is what I remember…..

It was a dark and stormy night….., sorry, wrong story. It was actually very pleasant and far from anything resembling THE GLOOM. The sun was on its way, it was probably about 60-ish degrees, a few guys started coming in and then Rudolph arrived. It really wasn’t bad at first. But then…..WTF happened? There was talk about things I cannot put into print as I would prefer not to soil my family name. Just trust me, it was not pretty and my ears are still asking, no BEGGING for clorox to be poured into them. All I will say is this: Linus, watch your 6.

We started with the Disclaimer, a quick warmup, run through the 5 core principles of F3 for our FNG, then everyone went their ways.

For the Bootcampers, I tried to pick a fight to start with. We moseyed over to the usual spot of the PainLabbers and put on some good Luke Combs music while we did a bunch of step ups waiting for the PainLabbers to come take a butt-whippin’ but they never showed. We finished our step ups and moseyed over to the parking lot where the PainLabbers were and did some big boy sit ups right in the middle of them. They pretty much ignored us……..oh well, move on. We moseyed to the picnic tables for some more step ups then moseyed to front of Shiele and introduced our FNG to hip slappers. There were occasional pauses during our HS while we listened to some more GOOD MUSIC from Luke Combs. Next, we moseyed and nurred up to the track a Grier with a quick stop at the steps for a few trips up and down with big boys at the bottom and some jump squats at the top while we dodged the shrubbery growing on the steps. NOTE to self: bring some weed killer and a weed wacker next time. I think it was about this time Rudolph started his stuff…..I’ll leave it at that and chalk it up to #youhadtobethere.

We moseyed over to the picnic tables…..WTF????? somebody stole the picnic tables!!! Quick Omaha to the baseball dugout and use the dugout for some more step ups. I think at this point we went to the G-spot on the field for some Mary and again,….you had to be there/Rudolph started back in. Next we moseyed up to the track and the plan was to lunge the track with merkins for relief whenever your legs got tired. I explained the simple point system for this exercise and we took off. Eventually we sprinted/ran/jogged the last 100-150 yards. It was close to time so we went back to the steps for a few rounds then moseyed back to start with some People’s Chair and Hip Slappers before get back home for just a couple rounds of Mary.

We finished with announcements, Pledge, and COT then named our FNG, Jeff Joyce, Slick.

Oh yeah, we also did Namorama (thanks Roscoe and Shortsale)…….
