Dirty Dozen at Prison Yard Thinking About Stirrups
/in Prison Yard /QIC: DauberPAX: Banana Seat, Cream of Corn, Cupid, Dauber, DoubleD, Dumbo, Fumunga, Redenbacher, Shredder, Tetanus, U.T.I, Warbucks
FNGs: No, but welcome back kotter, Tim (Hoege?) a.k.a. Cream of Corn (originally from NE, named in SW 4 yrs ago)
Warm Up: Many PAX got their point and ran for two miles (~20 mins). Dumbo missed us at 5:05 am and ran on his own; I overhead him saying waiting in the driveway for Pablo who never came out. Hope Pablo is OK. Circled up for the following exercises: good am, SSH, daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios, seal claps, o/h claps, Mike Phelps…
The Workout: The warden brought many dumbbells ranging in weight from 15 lbs to 50 lbs. An index card with a few exercises were written down as a suggestion (implied 10 reps) and dumbbells were spread out over the parking lot. A 20 lb stretchy thing was added, as well as a cinder block and jump rope. See pic for details of exercises. The time keeper was the 50 lb dumbbell. Note this 50 pounder was either carried by itself or farmer’s carry (Two 50 lb dumbbells). Some brave PAX tried the farmer’s carry including Warbucks, Cupid, Shredder…(apologies if I left out anyone). PAX had to carry the 50 lb dumbbell around the parking lot. While this was going on, PAX cranked out their respective exercises with their specific weight/tool/coupon. If no tools were available, PAX were instructed to do core exercises.
Mary: Circled up for 6 inches, box cutters, and static stretches that included some work on the groin area. Lots of mumble chatter about stirrups. It was quite the visual. Cream of Corn may not come back for another four years.
Announcements: JOCO CSAUP. Murph on Memorial Day, Bed builds, 5Ks coming up…
T-Claps (Recognition): PAX showing great effort today especially with the farmer’s carry
Prayer: Dumbo took us out – thank you! Prayers for an infant born too early who gave joy to his family for a handful of weeks…..automatically gone to heaven; UNSPOKEN
Thanks PAX for helping me load/unload my car this am.
Honored to lead (Forgot to say the Pledge of Allegiance – thinking about the stirrups I guess). -Dauber

10 Pointers at Mutiny
/in Mutiny /QIC: NemoPAX: Banana Seat, Gump, Maybelline, Nemo, Pablo, Rainmaker, Redenbacher
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

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
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.

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.
