Putting the DoD

YHC looked at the weather last night and was considering a planned fartsack, when the memory of telling Nutria YHC would Q TRB in the morn…. DOH!

YHC arrived a few mins early to ensure all the pieces parts were there:

1 Putter
2 Golf Balls
2 Cups
1 Deck of Death.

When 0530 hit 6 had joined YHC, buy the end of warmup it was 8.

Warmup:

Goof Balls 15 IC
Arm Circles Fwd/Bkwd
Side to Side Lunges 10 IC

Mosey along road, in the second entrance, and up to the door/awning.

Although the rules were simple, some seem to have trouble with the concept.

DoD determines the exercise.
25 is the count.
Putt the ball.
Toward the shorter cup ~ 1 yd, add/subtract 5 from the count depending on if you miss or hit the cup.
Toward the longer cup ~ 1.5 yd, add/subtract 10 from the count depending on if you miss or hit the cup.
After every 5, run a lap around the front of the school (later modified to 2 laps under the awning)

While we may have 1 or 2 future putt-putt champions, we definitely have some hackers.

Mixed in were 2 trick shots…

1 putt hit both cups

1 hit the ball while it was bouncing and still hit the far cup.

 

Announcements were made.

Prayers and Praises mentioned.

Pledge of Allegiance

 

YHC took us out.

 

Watts Up Powering Down.

Bulldog Trio

YHC arrived with Tube in his car.  Checked to see who was Q – the infamous “Open Q” had today.

As we crawled from our vehicles, checked with Tube on if he had Q — Nope.

Just before 0530 arrived, Nutria did too.  He too denied being Q.

Since Bulldog wouldn’t Q itself, we took turns calling something.   Note:  Tube was also a co-Q, but website rules say you have to have someone in Pax, so there…

When we finished we noted announcements and prayer requests.

Tube took us out.

Its Dry, Impromptu Q

YHC had planned for Ian to be bringing rain, even though Radar said no rain.

So, instead going with the plan, YHC decided to make it up as we went.

 

There was warmup, moseying, route 91, route 66, four corners, wall sitting and Dora.

As I remember, it was kinda like a normal Tequila Sunrise, except there was a group out putting miles in that joined us at the end.

Prayers were raised.

Announcements.

BB is here, but lacking

Next time, maybe I can be timely and really put what was done.

 

Watts Up powering down.

DoD @ Goat

Nursing a twisted ankle YHC wasn’t sure what to bring thus AM.

Last minute decision to let the cards decide.  Broke out the Deck ‘o Death.  Counted them and then shuffled.

Climbed out of the truck to join the Pax to realize the clock was already showing 0530.

Let’s get to it.

MC, Merkin and Squats – Lap around the buildings.  We did something else for a bit more warmup (can’t remember) and around again but up to the upper parking lot.

Pull the card.

Do the work.

10+Number, Facecards- 25

Lap around all the buildings after every Pax had drawn.

Rinso – Repeato till it was time.

Announcements were made.

Prayer requests noted.

Watts Up Powering Down

Was it 10 or 11?

YHC really should be more timely with the BB….

 

We did a warmup, don’t recall what is was exactly.

Then we moseyed toward River Ridge Dr.

There are 11 light poles between River Ridge @ Riverwood and River Ridge @ Plantation Trail.

It took multiple trips to confirm the last one is at the stop sign…

There were exercises at light poles and moseying in between.

Either you should been there or I should write BB sooner.

Either way…

Watts Up Powering Down.

Tabata for Two

525 YHC rolls in to a desolate, abandoned  Bulldog,  Less than a minute later, in rolls Nutria.  According to TeamUp, there is no Q listed.

530 hits and that is exactly who is there to Q – No One.

Well, lets get warmed up, maybe Spiderman hit some traffic in his long commute.

Stretches, Arm Circles, SSH and Gravel Pickers complete that activity.

Now what to do….

After a brief discussion, we settle on Tabata…

45 Seconds of Work, 10 Seconds of Rest.

4 exercises, 2 Rounds with a Round of Rest in between each set.

Alternated who called the set of 4 exercises.  Got in 4 sets, plus a little extra.

Good 1st and 2nd F…

Announcements were discussed as were Prayer Requests.

Nutria took us out.

Should we rename Gastone’s hill?

Having done some EC with EZ Rider, YHC almost skipped the warmup, but we did a little.

From there we mosey’d toward Gastone’s hill.  Stopping every 3rd light for either merkins or squats (x5)

Upon arriving at Gastone’s hill partner up.

partner 1 plank

partner 2 up 2 mailboxes and 5 merkins.  partner1 catches up and then collectively they fall back 1 mailbox.

Then we did an ab exercise.

Back down.

Then backup stopping at every mailbox doing an EZ Rider called exercise.

Then another ab exercise.

Back down to the 1st cross street.

Sprint 2 to 2nd mailbox and then mosey the rest.  Reversed on the way back.

Mosey to the next cross street.

Skipping and Nurring.

On down to the parking lot.

Ab Exercise.

Back toward home, again stopping at every 3rd light for squats/merkins.

 

Announcements were made.

Prayer Requests were mentioned.

 

YHC took us out.

 

Watts Up Powering down.

Spiderman Drop In

YHC arrived with UHaul and Spiderman onsite and Tube arriving shortly thereafter.  Spiderman related he had PT the previous day and could not lead.  Leaving a weinke and the flag, he exits stage left.

Two or Three exercises in to his weinke, we modify to a round-robin Q.

Stuff was called incorporating all parts of the body, plus some movement.

Same ole July announcements (Lunch Tomorrow, Dad’s Sat, Tubing 30th) and Blood Drive on 10-Aug.

Prayer Requests were mentioned.

YHC took us out.

Watts Up Powering Down

K.I.S.S. like your elders told ya!

Having survived a Oompa lead beatdown at Gastonia’s premier afternoon workout, YHC decided to take bring it to Cramerton, with a mod.

Warmup consisted of The Pledge of Allegiance, Arm Stretches, Arm Circles and SSH.

A quick mosey up the stairs to the base of today’s work.

11 Merkins, 11 BBs, 11 Squats.  Run around the building.

Repeat.

The over/under was 14.

When time was running short, a quick mosey back around to the steps where 5 calf raises every other step.

Around the building again, back to the gathering spot.

5 burpee for the train(s) that had passed.

Time!

 

Announcements were made.

Prayer concerns were voiced.

YHC took us out.

 

Watts Up Powering Down…

Black Panther Sighting in Gastonia!

YHC was reading Whoopee’s BB was thinking “Luckily that panther didn’t get us”.  But the made YHC think, did it really happen since the backblast hasn’t been written???

Well, here it is…

 

Seven was total (well six when we started since Whoopee was still getting his shoes on) when 0530 hit.  All experienced PAX, including a JarJar who hadn’t posted in a light year or so. (See what I did there?)

Anyway, we did some warmup.  You know the typical stuff; SSH, Arm Circles, stretches, etc.

YHC found a workout from yester-year when PF was just an empty grocery store.

Mosey behind PF to their ramp…. (Why did they build a ramp behind PF, when they have a flat front entrance, inquiring minds may want to know, but its a good place to stop)  Bear Crawl up the ramp x 2.  This caused a little discussion/grumbling from the PAX, so we did it a 3rd time ( I think it was really Dirt’s idea BTW)

With that pitstop done, on to the FL parking lot.

Start the spots nearest PF.
5 SSH
Sprint/Mosey to the nearest lightpole – 10 Jump Squats
Nur to starting spot, 10 SSH
Sprint/Mosey to the next lightpole (1 Burpee at the first lightpole) – 15 Jump Squats
Nur to starting spot, 15 SSH
Sprint/Mosey to the third lightpole (1 Burpee at the first & second lightpole) – 20 Jump Squats
Nur to starting spot, 20 SSH
Plank for 6 (or join them)
10 count.
“Recovery” run around the frontage building.

Now it gets fun.

Repeat with Jump Squats replaced with HRM and SSH with Mtn Climbers.  YHC suggested an alternate locomotion format, but that didn’t workout well.  Most moseyed.

Funner yet…

Repeat again with HRM replaced with Monkey Humpers and Mtn Climbers with Hammers.  Locomotion: Skip

No time for another round.

Head the steps between the parking lots… 10 calf raises each step.

Mosey back behind PF.  Oh, the ramp, lets stop an bear crawl down the ramp.   Once was enough, plus time was counting down.  Head back to the flag.

The group rounds the Bellacino’s corner with YHC, EZ Rider and Whoopee leading….

Out from the dumpster jumps a massive (read that as HUGE) black panther.  Did I mention it was big?  From here the details get a bit fuzzy, or maybe it was my vision.  The battle was intense.  It was touch-and-go for a bit.  But we managed to save the remaining PAX from the panther.  We did such a good job, not sure they even knew it was there.

Having made it out alive, we continued onto the flag, with a brief stop at the wall for some dips and step-ups.

Announcements were made and prayers lifted.

Thanks to all for the opportunity to lead.

SYITG.
