Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum Takeover

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

The mouse was away so two of the misfits from Alice in Wonderland were in charge. Tweedle Dee and Tweddle Dum grab the reigns.

FNGs: None today
Warm Up:

Got into an Indian run to head to the warm-up location. As we proceeded on the run we noticed the current pathway was roped off. This resulted us in turning around and running pass the abyss. This turned out to be a good thing. We were able to check out the wait time. Only 5 minutes. What a great day this was going to be.

Made it to the parking lot on the other side of the baseball field.

Good Mornings

It was time to get back in the Indian Run and head to the abyss. We were concern that the wait time was increasing. The queue for the abyss is nothing like the queue for Peter Pan’s flight. So we had to hurry.

The Workout:

We split up into two groups. Group one started with the exercises up top and the other group went down the stairs first.

Up top, we did 10 absolutions. At the bottom, we did 5 Prisoner Squat Get Up Jump Squats. Each pax did 2 rounds at the abyss. LBCs were done while waiting on the six.

Now it was up for Tweedle Dee to take over. We all got into the Indian Run to hit up a new ride “The Tilta World”.

Pax found a partner for some bear crawl dora. Each group went to a small island. As one pax bear crawled around the island the other pax did the exercises. 100 Merkins, 200 LBC, 300 Squats.

As pax were riding “The Tilta World” Tweedle Dum received notification that the abyss was up to a 40-minute wait. This meant we wouldn’t get to ride it again today. Though as we proceeded with 15 minutes to go Tweedle Dum got a notification that 13 Fast Passes just opened up. We grabbed them and Indian Run to the abyss.

Once back at the abyss we did the same exact ride as before.

Up top, we did 10 absolutions. At the bottom, we did 5 Prisoner Squat Get Up Jump Squats. Each pax did 2 rounds at the abyss. LBCs were done while waiting on the six.

This time coming up the stairs was a lot harder than the first time. The PGUSJs did not make getting up the steps any easier.

After this was all done we headed back to the starting point.

Tweedle Dee took over with Mary.

Homer to Marges South Wake style was done.

Today was my first Q as AO Site Lead for Disney. It’s an honor to take this location over. It’s got a long history of beat downs and just the space you have to work with is unmatched to any other AO in SW. Overhearing conversations last week, and picking up from my last Q here that was character themed, I listened to Dawg talking about the street artists at the Park… Let’s see what we can do with that…

FNGs: NADA
Warm Up: Quick Mosey, Good Morning, SSH, Frankenstein, Sir Fazio, Overhead Claps, Seal Claps. Let’s go.
The Workout:

1st Stop: The Bowl – Q split the PAX down the middle and groups were instructed to up one side 5 merkins, down and up the other 5 merkins – That’s 1.  Continue to 5 for a total of 50 Merkins.

Regroup and form 1 line for Bataan Death March. (Those unfamiliar – Leader sprints out from line, runs to back, as he passes the line the next person up sprints out, and so on and so on..) Continued to the large lot at the School. As we made our way through the lot, Q called out corner locations as landmarks.

2nd Stop: Circle in front of the school. Count off by 2’s.

Group 1 – Plank walk around the circle curb; Group 2 – 3 corners as a group in the parking lot – Counterclockwise. Corner 1 10 Star Jumps, Corner 2 10 Squats, Corner 3 10 Plank Jacks IC.

Switch & Repeat following clockwise

Group Moved to adjacent circle’s curb – Crab walk around the circle – 3 moves, 3 baby-dips. Group 2 Back around the parking lot again for same exercises above. This is where shit hit the fan…. Everyone started complaining and I thought my plans would go off the rails… (Note to first-time Q’s. When people start bitching you usually have a stellar thang going…. Work through it… Press on…) Both groups did some level of modification and some picked up on my plans and supported with a mosey around the circle!

I tried, Hidden Mickey!

 

Enough of that. Mosey back to the flag

 

Mary: WWI x20, LBC x20 IC, 6 inch hold 10 counts (x3), LSF IC x20, HND.

What’s Wrong with You?

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

My first post at Disney was on January 2nd of this year. This was after starting F3 back in October and maybe 15-20 total posts up to that point. Not 100% sold on F3 yet, this was the workout that started the fire! I think it was a throwback co-Q by Deadbolt and somebody else. I had only heard of Disney from others prior to this.  Stories of a pax named Pablo who would make fellas “Merlot” on this thing called the Abyss circulated around me enough that I was honestly a bit nervous that this was the AO that I would simply not be able to keep up with, considering just coming off about a 3 year layoff from working out. The workout on January 2nd was focused, intense, constantly moving, and structured. We went so many places in the park in such a short time that morning. Though I started Q ing late in January, I knew enough to know that a quality Disney Q needs to bring it! So about 30 lbs. lighter and in much better shape YHC took the reins at Disney with 10 other pax ready to ride as many rides as we could.

FNG’s: none

EC: Nemo, Shamwow!, Mookie, Emeril

Warm Up: SSH, GM’s, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Frankenstein’s. Mosey to the big hill on the far side of the field.
The Workout: Take the hill stack. 10 burpees, take the hill. 10 burpees, 20 squats at the top.  Run the ridge, 10 burpees, 20 squats, 30 mountain climbers.  When I called this is when Emeril looked at me and said, “What’s wrong with you?”

Mosey to other side of fence for 5 count per pax People’s Chair followed by 30 ct. fence squats. Mosey to the Abyss.

We did split group 7’s on the Abyss with burpees at the bottom and WW1 at the top. Plank hold for the 6.

2 line Indian runs to the high school. 30 bench dips.

With Indian run lines remaining in effect, we did a few hill repeats with 2 merkins at the bottom, run to the top, 4 star jumps, back down, 6 merkins, to the top, 8 star jumps, on the way down, several pax were quick to let YHC know we didn’t have a whole lot of time to get back to the flag. OR they didn’t want to do more hill repeats. Either way, these pax were right on so we finished with 20 merkins. Indian run in a whole group back to the flag.

Mary: H2M, H2M single leg, Box Cutters, Pickle Pounders.
Announcements: Rune continues.  Bass Lake mulch project.

Prayer: Pablo has lost his mother. Pray for his family. Martini’s mom and family. Hardy got staples after suffering a hit to the head and ninja training.

Celebrating another trip around the sun

PAX: , , , , , ,

Having survived another trip around the sun, I set off to Q Disney, while I was weather watching the last couple days it went from no rain to getting soaked to it might rain to it will rain. We ended up with a mostly no raining workout.
FNGs: none

Warm Up: Quick loop out of the parking lot and back to the flag, with tweaking my calf again. We did 24 Imperial Walkers, 25 Hillbillys  10 Sir Fazio forward and back, 15 daisy pickers, and 10 good mornings.
The Workout:
             Thang 1:  Went to the soccer field, grab a partner, I had set 3 cones out. Partner 1 would do 10 count balls to the wall, 20 shoulder taps, and Peoples chair                                          until their partner gets back. Partner 2 would do 10 merkins, 15 ankle grabs, and 20 squats. We repeated this 3 times adding 5 to the merkins, ankle                                   grabs and squats reps.
              Thang 2: Head to the shelter for some Dora 123. 100 step-ups, 200 dips, and 300 lbc’s.
              Thang 3: One round of 7’s on the parking lot, consisting of Carolina Dry docks and Star Jumps

Who’s Gonna Carry the Boats?

/in /QIC:
PAX: , ,

I have gained a bit of a reputation over the years of not being hard to talk into things, so when there was a challenge of doing fritter (post at Possum Trot, Disney, and Crazy Ivan with at least 2 mile EC runs before each workout) with 4 mile EC runs I was pretty quick to jump onboard. Unfortunately, I did so without knowing that a tropical storm was going to be dumping rain on us for those 3 days. The feeling was well summed up by a text from Skidmark at 0431 stating “Worst idea ever” as we began our commute to Disney under absolutely pelting rain. As Goggins says – “suffering is the true test of life.”

 

The rain kept up throughout the 4 mile EC, at one point just fully peltering us around mile 3 (right when most men would’ve decided to stay in  the fart sack instead of coming out to the boot camp)  tapering off to a slight drizzle by the end. We navitaged the confusing neighborhood EC run thanks to the course on our watches and came upon Nemo running EC on our way back to the AO.

 

Sadly no other cars showed up. 0530 hit and we were off – I knew we needed the full 45 minutes if we were going to go the distance.

ECEC: Skidmark, Pikachu
EC: Nemo

FNGs:

None today – rain scared them off.
Warm Up:

SSH, Daisy Picker, Sir Fazio forward/backward x10 IC

The Workout:

An homage to a classic that Deadbolt introduced me to years ago – 10 rounds with Tyson. However, we stayed in the meetup parking lot and worked the 4 corners there in the hopes that we would finally make all 10 rounds. Exercises at each corner were:

Round 1 – Standard Merkins

 

Round 2 – Jump Squats

 

Round 3 – Pickle Pounders

 

Round 4 – Turkish Getups

 

Round 5 – Burpees

 

Round 6 – Diamond Merkins

 

Round 7 – Star Jumps

 

Round 8 – Prisoner Squats

 

Round 9 – Peeping Lipstick (Turkish Getup on the down, Star Jump on the up)

 

Round 10 – Double Merkin Burpees

We stayed together and finished with time for 3 minutes of mary.

E-Ticket Rides at Disney

PAX: , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs:  None

EC:  ShamWow!, Nemo and Full House

Showed up to Disney with three workouts planned in my head.  I wasn’t sure how many PAX would take my challenge after taking a picture of the abyss and posting it on the socials.  I wanted to make sure I had a plan for 3 PAX, <10 PAX or  >10 PAX.  It was a very long time since I had taken the 22 mins drive at o dark hundred in the morning.  I drove in silence doing a walk through in my head of the planned activities.   Planted the flag and greeted PAX I had not seen in 8 weeks.

Warm Up:  Nine PAX and a pooch took to the pitch after a mosey around it.  Completed SSH, Hillbillies, Good am, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Fazio Arm Circles, and static arm stretches.  The pitch was beautiful (flat, manicured) with temps  in the high fifties.

The Workout:  Mosey to the abyss.  Paired up for a Dora: 100 merkins, 200 LBCs, 300 SSH; hold squat/ completed squats and helped PAX finish their Dora.  Thanks for the assistance on the count of SSH Nemo – apologies for not clarifying single vs four count SSH.  Partner not doing Dora, ran/walked the stairs.  At the bottom of the stairs, PAX completed 5 Star jumps before starting back up.  Some PAX chose running up the dirt trail parallel to stairs.  Indian run back to pitch.  Nice sprints by Yogurt and POTS.

Mary: Lots of yoga.  Popcorn 10c AB work.

Announcements:  See Slack/FB

T-Claps (Recognition):  Special shout out to my Shield-lock brothers:  Masters for their support.
