Dora, Rocks and Nutcracker
FNGs: None
Warm Up: Drove into the Nut parking lot and saw 7 men ready to go. Doc and Yogurt pulled in right before go time. Planted shovel flag. Shared with PAX multiple awakenings throughout the night, fearing I would sleep through my Q. Clock struck 530 on a cold (mid 30’s) early morning. Set out for a nice run around the school. Flanigan shared he and Nemo had got some early miles in. I reminisced about previous beat downs here with Moby. Circled school and headed to parking lot next to fence/rock pile. The following exercises got us going: 25 SSH, 10 Daisy pickers, 10 Willie Mays Hays, 10 O/H claps, 10 Seal Claps, 10 Imperial walkers. Partner up. One partner went and got a medium sized rock. Other PAX held plank.
The Workout: Pre-blast touted using rocks during a Dora. Modified the Dora knowing Pots had a wonderful arm workout planned for TBD tomorrow. Instructed PAX to complete the following with rocks as a team of two: 200 goblet squats, 200 plank touches (slap rocks from GP) IC, and Toe-tappers (soccer drill) IC. PAX not using a rock, ran a lap around the outside parking lot. T-claps for Flanigan helping Pots and me out complete our reps! We had a few more minutes and conducted the following exercises with rocks: 6 inch hold with rock over chest, 10 chest presses. PAX without rocks did LBCs. Return rocks. Headed to front parking lot with shovel flag.
Mary: Air was better without the smell of diesel (bus warming up). Cooled down with 10 plank jacks, 10 Mtn climbers, 10 H2M, 10 H2M L leg crossed and 10 H2M R leg crossed, 10 box cutters, 10 dying cockroaches, 10 Freddie Mercury. YOGA stretches (e.g. warrior I, II, pigeon, plank, downward dog, etc.)
Announcements: CSAUP run ATT, CPR training, Carpex swaps
T-Claps (Recognition): PAX coming out today (half of them were over 50! RESPECT!). And Flanigan for helping with some extra reps.
Prayer: PAX going through some child custody issues, Colonoscopy for Dauber’s wife today, Military deployed, Australian fires, Unspoken. Sprinkler took us out.
An honor and blessing to lead men. -Dauber
