10 Pointers at Mutiny

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , ,

First time Q for me at Mutiny. Been there several times over the years but never took lead. Was great to combine with Red October for EC, w/u, Mary and COT.

FNGs: No, but we had an FNG at Red October, welcome Murdoch
Warm Up: combined with Red October
The Workout: Indian Run to get things moving. Selected rocks and started with curls and tris from 20 to 15 to 10 to 5.  Shifted to the 10-pointer. Did 10 on the 10 count. This is full motion move starting with a squat, curl, tri press, back to chest press, curl down and end back down in the squat. Slower count, focus on form. Then we did a Bear Crawl halfway back up the road and jog the rest to a plank hold, 20 SSH IC, and 10 tempo squats. Mosey back to rocks and repeat (I think we ended up doing 4 full sets). Headed over to tennis courts and did a shoulder burn as we waited for Red October.
Mary: A couple quick moves called by YHC and Breach
Announcements: Upcoming picnic, check slack and make plans.
T-Claps (Recognition): Rainmaker coming back out, great work this morning
Prayer: Breach took us out

Spartan 500 at Paradise City

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

YHC made my triumphant return as the Q at Paradise City this 55 degree comfortable morning.  About 7-8 showed for Extra Credit with Pikachu and Skidmark leaving early to get in the extra mile (nice work).  great pick ups on the EC run of this 6.  Returned after EC to see a large gathering in the parking lot which looked great!  We had a visitor from F3 Chartlotte in town – more on that at the COT

FNGs: None

Warm Up:  A quick lap around the parking lot and then circled up

  • Windmills x 10 🙂
  • Wide Grip Merkins x 10
  • Side Strattle Hops x 20
  • Fazio 10F and 10R
  • Seal Claps x 10
  • Right over left and left over right stretches
  • Pax instructed to find an accountability partner of equal speed to put him

The Workout:

We did the Spartan 500 with running a 0.25 mile in between each sets.  Partner up with a man of similar speed but that can push you.  Do the set of 50 exercises at opposite corners with your partner.  See image below for details.

Goal was to do this 10 times or 5 laps.  T claps to (at least) Pikachu, Skidmark and 187 for finishing all 10!  I think most of the rest got 8 so a spartan 400!

Mary:

The lead pair got back to the Basketball courts a little early and led group in ab exercises.  YHC arrived and closed out mary with a 5 count around the horn holding 6 inch leg lifts.

This was my first time at Needmore Park. The routes were great and we had some quality mumble chatter along the way.

EC:  A lot of PAX were there for EC.

FNGs: not today

Warm Up:    10 x Good Mornings, 10 x Spinal Rotations

The Workout:  We ran the Yellow route for EC so I suggested we take the yellow route in reverse. After some discussion to coordinate the coffee stop, we decided to take the blue route and then the yellow route. We made a pit stop at Breach’s house for coffee and then headed bag to the flag.

Mary: Short on Time

25 PAX got a taste of the old school route this morning. We had a bunch of ECers run over from Jones Park as well. Lot of good chatter on this brisk morning. Nice work picking up the six. The 3 mile group did some yoga after their run. Pikachu called in sick so YHC stepped up for some May points. Nice work all around.

We ended with prayer as always.

Thanks for allowing me to lead.

BS out!

Sheepdog VS Kung Pow

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , ,

YHC hasn’t been to Sheepdog in a while and as I thought through my pre-blast I landed on my typical adversarial AO messaging to stoke some fires and get a little attention.  In my mind, it was only natural to pit Sheepdog (a martial arts founded AO) against the oriental-sounding Kung Pow AO.  I fired off a spicy pre-blast, got the side-eye from Deadbolt and a shot from POTS (the scheduled Q of the one-day/UTI nominated nemesis of Sheepdog.)  SUCCESS!!! Now, POTS fired back/commented/assumed if there was to be a martial arts Q by YHC, Shredder would need to be on hand to lead the PAX.  An often forgotten (by me) and seldom shared fact about YHC is that I am a 3rd Degree Brown Belt in Tae Kwon Do.  Granted, my last practice of this craft would have been 25 years ago.  Oh well, this will be fun – let’s see what I can shake out of my head from the past\movies\tv.

FNGs: ani

Warm Up:

PAX circled up in the parking lot at the front of the school

  • The Bow aka Good Mornings

  • Kick from Side Stance – kick and rotate around into side stance moving from one island to the next
  • Cobra Run aka Indian Run to the back of the school – West
    • Awesome move by BeerPressure over the gate

West (literally and figuratively)

  • Cobra Run continued around the loop behind the school and finished at the brick half walls
  • PAX partnered up, One PAX ran while the other one did an exercise below.  On return they switched off.  This continued until YHC said stop
    • Box Jumps
    • Erkins
    • Derkins
    • Dips
  • PAX gathered together to do Box Jumps together.  We got to 25, YHC was keeping count but no one was counting out loud so we just kept going until someone gave me a number.
  • Cobra Run back to the EAST – not to be outdone, LED showed his skills as he cleared the gate on the way back.

Mary:

  • Flutter Kicks aka Low Slow Flutters
  • Bruce Lee Abs – LBCs
  • Shredder helped us take the moves from the “EAST” portion of our workout and apply some practical execution around actually using those moves against an opponent. We practiced a kick to the abdomen followed by a punch to the nose.

Announcements:  Tequila Sunrise is open tomorrow.  No Q points but points for showing up, EC and a new AO if you haven’t been yet

T-Claps (Recognition):

  • Martini for pushing through and coming out today.  If you have an excuse for not being out here, it’s probably not as good as Martini’s and he showed up!
  • Thanks to Shredder for putting some instruction and some labels on my workout today

Prayer:

  • Shredder for his upcoming belt exam
  • Deuce for his recovery
  • Martini for his recovery

No Frills, Just Thrills at Disney

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

19 PAX for multiples of 56 at Disney. Indian runs and classic F3 exercises took us 3 miles around the park. Solid work by all! Great way to celebrate 56 years. Pleasure to lead.

EC: UTI, Maybelline, Nemo, Fanny Pack, YHC

ME: @Warren Brendle @LipSync @Fanny Pack @Banana Seat @U.T.I. @Bobby Dall @Bobby Boucher @Kosher @Fancy Feast @187 @Nemo @Mookie @Maybelline @Roger Roger @Fanny Pack @Banana Seat @Lipstick @Warbucks YHC

Today’s theme: 56 in recognition of my 56th bday.

Warm up: 14×4 = 56 – 14 good mornings, 14 goofballs, 14 arm circles, 14 somethings

Kickoff: At any site, you gotta use your resources. Here at Disney, I love the artificial turf.

In a format similar to 11s, we lined up for burpees on one side and select exercises on the other side. Reps of burpees times other side reps = 56

  • Round 1: 1 burpee, run to opposite, 56 SSHs (1×56)
  • Round 2: 2 burpees, run, to opposite, 28 squats (2×28)
  • Round 3: 4 burpees, run to opposite, 14 Turkish getups (4×14)
  • Round 4: 8 burpees, run to opposite, 7 mtn climbers (8×7)

Indian run to carpool drop-off circle.

  • Divide into groups of 4/5.
  • Sevens (7s) with WWIIs at bottom, star jumps at top, GO!

Indian run, split into two groups, back to turf center circle.

Mary: Just enough time for a full round of Jack Webbs (30). This is one of my Disney favorites that I learned at one of Nemo’s workouts. Another good one for that soft artificial turf.

I’ve been ending my Q’s with a blast of classic rock. Today it was Chicago’s 25 or 6 to Four. No particular theme tied in. Spotify played this for me when I was searching songs. This classic is among many, many others that were routinely played on the radio in the 1970s, which was the heart of my childhood (age 5-15). Hope you enjoyed!

Announcements: LipSync shared successful F3 South Wake to support Brandon, who he routinely pushes in Brandon’s wheelchair on runs. Brandon has cerebral palsey and lives with his mother. Her cleaning business is way down due to Covid-19. F3 South Wake more than covered their immediate needs. Also Warbucks announced a challenge at Cletus to earn the Q for U-Turn on Saturday.

Prayer: unspoken

TClaps: All for keeping me motivated. Fanny Pack for the May Challenge–great idea, great execution!

Just Hanging Out

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: Nope
Warm Up: Good mornings, windmills, frankenstein kicks, sir fazio arm circles
The Workout:
Mosey behind the Hunt Center and down to the Pit. PAX counted off into 2 groups.
Group 1 did 1 WWII and ran up big hill for 1 merkin. Then 2 WWI+2 merkins.
Group 2 ran the 4 corners of the soccer field stopping at each corner for 10 merkins and 10 WWIIs.
then switch.
After 1 round Group 1 continued their count on the hill with squats and box cutters while group 2 took another lap around the field with 10 squats and 10 box cutters at each corner.

Mosey over to the playground. Poopeater nearly caught a cute bunny, but it was much too fast.

Partner 1 hangs from playground bar while partner runs to corner of parking lot and back and switch.

This was the warm-up for a hang contest. 1st partner hung on bar for time while other partner held chill cut plank.
1st group was won by 187 hanging for just over a minute.
2nd group had Pikachu holding for 1 minute while Hardy and Warbucks held strong. YHC could have done this all day, but we had to get to Mary.

So your challenge rankings looked like this.
1. Hardy
T2. Warbucks – 187
4. Pikachu
T5. All other challengers

Hardy, Warbucks, 187, are not in May challenge. So your favorite 4th place Pokemon took home the Q for U-Turn. Not without some saltiness from some PAX.

Mosey back to the flag.

Mary:
25 Pickle pounders

T-Claps (Recognition):
