COT & Prayer

Reminder: Do Yard Work, Then Go to The Storm

The setup: You pull out of your neighborhood, a few other Pax not far behind. A hulking work truck, loud, dim lights, can’t see the driver, comes up behind you, follows you all the way to The Storm. What the hell!?!?

Setup 2: Some damn, diesel belching work truck gets ahead of you on the way to The Storm. It’s slow, probably going to make you late. What the hell!?!? It pulls into The Storm too.

Morning, Hei Hei. Nice work boots you have there. Still going to work out? Worked all night and still made it to The Storm… Pax of the day award!

After the pledge, time for the warm up.
SSH I/c and 1 burpee
Imperial Walkers I/c and 2 burpees
Merkins I/c and 3 burpees
Toy soldiers I/c and 4 burpees
Goof balls I/c and 5 burpees

Karaoke down the hill to the guard rails
25 dips 25 dirkins

NUR to the traffic island
Six shooters I/c

Mosey to the loading dock and partner up
P1 runs to the dock, gets to the top and runs back while P2 AMRAPs the exercise. 5 rounds for each partner. Exercise 1 was LBCs, exercise 2 for a whole other set was American Hammers.

Hei Hei, in his work boots and all, stepped it up once more with a barrel roll at the top of the dock. YHC tried the same and came away with some scrapes and bruises on the knee.

Mosey to the parking lot near the tennis courts for step ups I/c. There may have been a rickety ol’ picnic table put out of commission. BOS may have been the hammer that set it free.

Time for a final dose of work with some Rugby Sprints, a YHC favorite. One pax calls an exercise, preferably on the ground. Said pax yells “go” and everyone sprints to a new point, sprints back to the original point and then recover walks to the first sprint end. Think of it as “sprint, sprint, recover”. This same pattern is done over and over until YHC says stop. Final recovery walk back to the flag for a short Mary and time.

Pax appeared to be was  gassed as everyone pushed hard.

Jack Who?

9 PAX posted to Midoriyama on Tuesday. Many of the points whores were noticeably absent now that the competition is over. Don’t stop pushin on that rock.

The Warmup:

Sealjacks, burpess, morraccan nightclubs, and a good long mosey down to the end of the road and back. We gathered some blocks and made our way over to the parking lot.

The Thang:

We did a series of exercises and then did a round of Rugby Sprints. Rinsed and repeated about 3 times I think.

10 Curls

10 Goblet Squats

10 French Curls

10 Skater Lunges

5 Jack Hells-A new one straight out of the Hotbox in Metro. It’s a Jack Webb but on the OH press you use a block. It sucked. I like it!

By the last round of sprints I had Wiki wore down to an even match with an old guy. One more round and I think I would have beat him.

We put up the blocks and had a little time left to wall sit at the turd shack. Each PAX took a turn running around the building and we finished just in time.

The COT:

Pledge

Namerama

Announcements-SFN and convergence 4/13, Ruck CSAUP 5/4, Extinction run 5/18

Prayer Request-Life is good, Happy 79th Birthday to Def’s dear sweet mother
