Baker’s Dozen at NeedMore Ruck!

May 3, 2021/in NeedMore Ruck /QIC: Dauber
PAX: 50 Floors, Breach, Cancun, Dauber, Deuce, Fanny Pack, Fonzie, LED, M4L, Nail Pouch, Nemo, Pumpkin Spice, Sprinkler

FNGs: TWO FNGs compliments of M4L! Welcome Allen Duncan (50 Floors) and Ken Almonds (Nail Pouch). Sprinkler loved the leadership of Dauber bringing out so many PAX to this forgotten gem in FV!
Warm Up: After F3 story and introductions and EC (nice work Nemo, Fanny Pack, Breach and Dauber) headed out.
The Workout: Played the back nine this morning starting off on 9 and 8. Headed to 1-7 remembering great shots from a long time ago including shots over the pond or a layup by the tree. I had a tee time at 8:-4 at the Neuse and definitely had golf on my mind. Great mumble-chatter with all the PAX. Got some grilling tips from Fonzie and shared some parenting advice with Cancun (I hope it was well-received). Stopped at Breach’s for coffee-teria. Thanks brother! Just a beautiful morning with great fellowship.
Mary: OYO
Announcements: See Slack/FB. Get out to HS Food Cupboard on Th. Ultimate frisbee on Mon at Ting.
T-Claps (Recognition): All the PAX getting it done in the month of May – great numbers. Keep raising each other up! Also Cancun for bringing his adorable 2.0 baby boy out. Loved hearing his cooing during the trek!
Prayer: Sprinkler led us out – thank you sir! Honored to lead! -Dauber

Gashers at Paradise City

May 3, 2021/in Paradise City /QIC: Dawgpound
PAX: 187, Bondo, Dawgpound, Lipstick

EC:Dawgpound Lipstick
FNGs:Nope
Warm Up:
We made are way to the second field. We didn’t want Frisbee taking the second field. I had already setup the timer for today’s Gashers.

We stopped at each corner of the field for the following.

Corner 1:
Side Straddle Hop
Good Mornings
5 Burpees

Corner 2:
Fazio Arm Circles Forward and backwards
5 Burpees

Corner 3:
Imperial Marches
Hill Billies
5 Burpees

Corner 4:
Good Mornings
5 Burpees
Frankenstiens

We then headed to the bucket to explain what a Gasher is.
A Gather is across the width of the football field. Come back and repeat. A total of 212 yards. The soccer field is a bit wider. So the bucket was the turning back spot.

The Workout:

Started out with 10 Gashers. The goal one minute. For every pax that doesn’t make it back we had 1 Burpee. If you felt like it you could do Merkins, Squats or WWII until we ran again. We had 15 seconds to recover before we started the next gasher.

We then proceeded to do 4 corners. We did three laps around the field.
Corner 1: 5 Mickey Mouse Merkins
Corner 2: 10 Lunges
Corner 3: 10 Pickle Pounders
Corner 4: 5 Burpees

After we did three trips we went back to the Gashers. We did 2 more Gashers. The last one was for time.

Mary:

Homer to Marge
LBCs
Pickle Pounders

Announcements:
T-Claps (Recognition): To all Pax that stuck with me for the Gashers.
Prayer:

Warm Up:

Light mix of SSH, Good Mornings, HBs, IWs, SFAC, and Squated Morrocan Night Clubs.

The Workout:

Pax counted off by 4 and split into two teams. 1s and 2s on field 1 and 3s and 4s on field 2 for F3 style Ultimate Frisbee. Every time the frisbee dropped Pax knocked out an exercise; merkins, burpees, squats, star jumps. The scoring team called out the penalty exercise, which both teams partook.

Mary:

A couple more Good Mornings to stretch us out.

Announcements: 2nd F Panera, May Challange, Bed Builds.

T-Claps (Recognition): Lots of EC this morning & several Kotters (welcome back).

Prayer: Injured and sick Pax, our country, Pax leadership in the community, and a selfish request from YHC for God to fix the media!

Brand New AO > Tequila Sunrise (F U-Turn)

May 2, 2021/in Tequila Sunrise /QIC: Norm
PAX: 16-bit, Abe, Cowboy, Dauber, Finkle, Martini, Pablo, Venkman

We are pumped to introduce the newest AO in SouthWake: Tequila Sunrise! Martini and YHC have been talking for a few months about the need for a Fuquay run/ruck AO on Saturdays as an alternative to driving to Holly Springs for U-Turn. So it’s basically and Fuquay U-Turn – hence the title of this BB. Where you thinking it meant something else?? If so, I’ll try not to be offended that you would think so little of us.

The AO name was inspired by an impressive sunrise we had the privilege to witness as we came out of Fleming Loop and made our way to South Park. T-Claps to Dauber for bringing it to everyone’s attention.

Starting at Fleming Loop, the standard route takes us by South Park (Shout out to Kenny’s Grave), left on Main Street through downtown Fuquay (right past Stick Boy), stay left on Wake Chapel (shout out to Possum Trot), left on Broad Street, left on Wilbon/Judd Parkway, and stay on the new section of Judd which takes you back to Fleming Loop Park. For the 3-mile option, turn left on West Academy St. right after passing Stick Boy which takes you back to Fleming Loop.

This route has a couple of benefits: first, it’s pretty simple which makes it hard to get lost on the route. Second, it front-loads the hills in the first half of the run. No one likes running hills at the end of a run.

There are lots of possibilities for different routes (and 2nd F locations) so we will likely switch it up from time to time.

3 PAX came over to Stick Boy for 2nd F: Martini, Finkle, and YHC.

Big T-Claps for the 9 PAX helped initiate this new AO. Come out and join us next week!
