9 PAX showed up to find we have a new toy to play with at Midoriyama. Thanks to Pizza Man for getting us a Dolph size tire.

Warmup:

Seal Jacks x 20ic

High Knees, Butt Kickers, Let’s Mosey

The Thang:

Partner up and go to one of the 4 stations setup on the soccer field. 3 minute rounds. After 3 minutes you have 1:30 to take a lap around mid field and to your next station. This usually left about 30 seconds to rest before starting the next round. After each round the partners ran in opposite directions and went to the next station. What this did was give you a new partner at the next station. This way you get a chance to work with and talk to someone different. Of course this wasn’t followed initially so there was a little confusion. A few were seen running in circles after the first round trying to figure out where to go! To be honest I expected this to happen.

Station 1- take turns flipping the tire

Station 2- chest pass/hand-off cement block

Station 3- throw car size tire back and forth over the fence

Station 4- Step-ups while holding cement block

Mosey to the hill and partner up for Burp Back Mtn with 50 burpees(look this one up! Everyone loved it)

We put away our blocks and tires and played a short game of ultimate frisbee.

Mosey back to the flag.

Moleskin: We all battle the fartsack at some point. It’s the getting up and going that’s the hard part. However when we do it we are always glad we did. Remember that feeling you have when you’re done with the workout the next time you are struggling to go.

6 PAX got lucky and missed the rain at Midoriyama. Slaw stepped up for the Q but his M set him straight and notified him he had a 2.0 event (thankfully she is keeping him on the straight and narrow). YHC took the fill in but was running behind. So Pizza Man took over and got the warm-up going as I came in hot! One of those days! Thankfully at Midoriyama there is always a HIM to step-up.

Warm-up:

I saw some SSH and squats when I was coming. Then we did some Don Quixte’s.

The Thang: Ol’ Trusty is one Pizza Man, Floppy Disk and I came up with back in the C4 days to simulate and train for a mud run. Run a little then do some task and keep repeating. So we run the road through the park and at each parking lot opening on your right we did 15 merkins and 10 squat jumps. We threw in 5 burpees at the speed humps. We stopped off at the shed for 2 rounds of Tricep dips x 15ic, Freddy Mercury x 20ic, Ironcross flutter kicks x 10ic. All in all we did a little over 2 miles and a lot merkins and squats.

Good work by all today. Great to have Floppy Disk back out. 2 months on the coach set him back a bit but I have no doubt he will be back in marathon shape in no time!

9 PAX showed at Midoriyama on Tuesday looking for a beatdown.

Warmup:

SSH x 25ic

Toy Soldiers x 10ic

Imperial Walkers x 10ic

The Thang:

They have been working on a new section they are adding to the park that will access the river and trail to McAdenville. I noticed it looked finished so we moseyed over just to check it out. It turns out there is a nice asphalt loop back in there. In total from our start it is a 1.5 miles loop. We stopped once for some Plank and Hops while we waited for the six. Plank then hop straight up to your feet in one motion.

Back at the start we found some blocks in my truck and really went to work. Partner up rotating between running the parking lot loop and doing the exercise.

1st- Overhead Lunges while partner runs. do 3 laps each

2nd-Press Sit-ups while partner runs. Hold block over head while doing a sit-up. do 3 laps each

3rd-Squat and Overhead Press while partner runs. Do 3 laps each.

A lot of hustle out there on this one! Keep up the good work.

So Midoriyama has a special feature that AO’s around here don’t have….A Mountain! 2 had climbed it once before and we have talked about doing again for some time. YHC figured since it has cooled down some and the leaves are changing it would be a good time to see the view from up there. That and of course we set the clocks back next week so Midoriyama will start posting in the gloom as well. There was a brief disclaimer about not knowing how much of the property belongs to the park and if the man comes it will be jailbreak time. We did a short warmup of the usual SSH’s, a few Hillbillies and imperial walkers then hit the mosey with the shovel flag in hand. We moseyed VIA the soccer loop trail and service road to the base stopping to do a few merkins and Al Gore’s. At the base YHC advised we would be walking from this point. The path up is the power line path and is nothing but rocks. Big rocks(some scaling is involved) and small rocks(easy to roll an ankle here). It is all straight up the side and about half way it gets pretty steep(leg burner). Everyone did a great job! Once we were at the top a few did hip slappers off the tower building wall. We posed for a pic and headed back down.
