Fellowship mosey to flag.

This workout doesnt look like much on paper but trust me if the effort is there in the sprints its tough.

My second Q at the Ricky Bobby coincides with my second post. Coincidence? I think not. But I asked Nutria to Q the GasHouse (11/4) and happily reciprocated. Going in the only thing I knew would happen were Monkey Humpers in front of Sargento’s house. The rest of the workout built off that. With some newer faces to me, I gave a brief Disclaimer (better to have form than speed, you vs. you, etc.)

Warm-up Part I:

• Seal-Jacks IC x 10, Toy Soldier IC x 10, Imperial Walkers IC x 10, Side to Side Lunge IC x 10, Arrows IC x 10, Good Mornings SC x 10 >> Pledge

Warm-up Part II:

Stay in the parking lot for some speed cardio. Anyone that has done Insanity videos will see where I ripped off the exercises and format.

Set 1: 4 exercises for 30 seconds each, 30 second rest between sets: 3 sets; SSH, Mtn Climber, Freddie Mercury, Imperial Walker (PAX observed it’s like everything was a version of SSH – smart PAX – there is a science and plan to the program, sometimes)

Set 2: same routine of 4 exercises at 30 seconds with 30 second rest between sets; 3 total sets: Mummy Kicks, Split Jack Toe Touch, Bonnie Blair, Ski Abs

I let the PAX catch their breath and with the warm-up officially over, we moseyed left from the parking lot to Winder Street leading into Cramer Woods. I did a brief recon before arriving to ensure the number of houses. As fate would have it, there are 11 mailboxes on the left and right side of the entire Winder Street. How fortunate. I scooped up Nutria on my return to the AO. Nutria was in full sprint carrying the shovel flag. Site Leader doesn’t play.

But you know me, we’re not just doing 11’s, lets trick this pony up a bit. Instead of 1 exercise compounding, we’ll do 3. Count the left side mailbox: HR Merkins + Mtn Climbers + Jump Squats; 1 then 2, then 3, and so on to 11. Oh my gosh Short Sale, that is like a burpee – again, there is a science behind the plan. One caveat – at the 8th house, do 5 monkey humpers with arse facing the house. Only thing was Sargento went to Ground Assault, so only his M benefited from the show. We arrived at the end of the road and since we must return, this time we’ll count the other side of the street’s mailboxes (still 11 of them). Change the routine to Iron Mike Tysons + LBCs + Star Jumps.

We gathered for the 6 and fellowship moseyed to the base. I heard Cherie Berry comment they should have gone to the ruck AO. Maybe, but you would have missed a most excellent boot camp. I even got SA to get up early and drive extra to support me.

COT: Lunch next week, 40 Day challenge, Ruck events – check other backblast and SLACK. Prayers for Turtleman (comes home Friday) and lift up marriages – there are peaks and valleys to these relationships. Sometimes we’re leading and sometimes we’re following (or being directed…).
