Today at Diablo we rucked as usual, but we also lugged 3 kettle bells up Gaston’s hill. At each mailbox you did two overhead presses. At each light post, two curls.
At the top of the hill we did 50 LBCs and planked for 5-15 counts, then 5-10 counts.
On the way back, we had one group do merkins while the other went ahead with kettle bells, then we did a kettle bell relay and reversed it.
A few complaints about my 30lb kettle but otherwise, a good workout.

Again, I figured we would have a small crowd and those that would show would probably be sore from the relay. Broke and Oompa showed despite being injured. They did some Mall Walking. The rest of us moseyed to the small soccer field and of course did some typical Wojo things. I freestyled it again with a lot of the drills and exercises carried over from my Q the thursday before. Leppard did his best with his “injury”. Finished up with about 10 mins of stretching and a easy mosey back to the flag.
With the SMR coming up and some on IR I knew it would be a light crowd. Around 5:25 or so Blart rolls in followed by Gumby. That was it, three. We moseyed on over to the small soccer field and did some typical Wojo things. I made it up as we went. Finished w/ about 10-15 mins of good stretching.

Read History > May 5 1862 Mexico’s Army celebrated victory over France at the battle of Puebla during the Franco-Mexican War. Mexico was in financial ruin due to internal struggles and had declared a moratorium on payments to other countries. They were mad, but Napoleon III wanted to make a place in Mexico. 6,000 gathered troops under General Charles Latrille de Lorencez went to attack Puebla de Los Angeles.
Thang:
Mosey back to start for partner work. Wheelbarrow as much as one cans then do five merkins each, until the wheelbarrow gets to the bottom of the lot. switch and go until we get back.
Read History > Mexicans led by Texas Born General Zaragoza fortified the town. While not a major win, it served as a symbolic victory which bolstered the resistance movement. The same year, Austrian Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian (Austrian), who had been installed as emperor of Mexico in 1864 by Napoleon, was captured and executed by Juarez’s forces. Puebla de Los Angeles was renamed for General Zaragoza, who died of typhoid fever months after his historic triumph there.
Read History > Many people outside Mexico mistakenly believe that Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of Mexican independence, which was declared more than 50 years before the Battle of Puebla. They also confuse General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna with Cinco de Mayo based on his historic stature. Santa Anna was involved with several wars (Mexican Independence, Alamo/Texas Revolution, Mexican/American War. Independence Day in Mexico (Día de la Independencia) is commemorated on September 16, the anniversary of the revolutionary priest Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla’s famous “Grito de Dolores” (“Cry of Dolores,” referring to the city of Dolores Hidalgo, Mexico), a call to arms that amounted to a declaration of war against the Spanish colonial government in 1810. Cinco de Mayo was made popular in America in the 60s as a way of encouraging pride in Mexican heritage.
