PAX: , , , , , , , , ,

10 PAX arrived ready to board the Downtown Train on a Monday and knock out some hill repeats first thing! Some of those fellas…Moose, Best in Show, Cupid, and Sunshine…blasted up that hill a few times! A great morning for movement and a welcome break from the heat for a day or two!

FNG’s: No
Warm Up: Good Mornings and Sir Fazio’s followed by a mosey down to the library with some but kickers and fast feet on the circle. SSH x 20 and Imperial Walkers x 15 to finish up the warm up.
The Workout: 7’s on Library Hill. WW2’s at the top, Standard Merkins at the bottom. Those that moved faster, we’re rewarded with either Homer to Marge or Pickle Pounders while waiting for the crew during each pass.

A mosey over to the parking garage for a 5 corners…yes…5 corners routine with a partner. Each corner had a certain count exercise, while the partner did AMRAP wall or core exercise, then switch. Corner 1: 30 Derkins/Pickle Pounders. Corner 2: 40 Dips/LBC’s. Corner 3: 50 Monkey Humpers, BTTW. Corner 4: 40 Star Jumps/Peoples Chair, Corner 5: 30 WW1’s/Bear Crawl.

Disney 6/16

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , ,

4 Pax took on the terrain that is Disney  (LED, Best in Show, Abacus and Breach on the Q) 

Warm Up: Mosey around the soccer field and then circle up for 22 count exercises of Imperial Walkers, Good Mornings, and SSH.

The Workout: Mosey over to the abyss for some crawl bear to the bottom and then bear crawl back up, performing 11 merkins and the bottom and 11 Pickle pounders at the top, rinse and repeat for another round to equal (22) of each exercise. Mosey back to the soccer fields for some Crab Walk Soccer. The team that gets scored on had to do 10 Homers to marges, then with one leg up then the other, so it pays to be a winner. Turns out that a kickball is not the best choice for this type of event, but we made it work. We needed to take a lap around the field in the middle to give our shoulders a break.

We wrapped with 22 merkins with a ball pass around the square.

Mary: Circled up for 22 counts of Heel taps, dying cockroaches, and hello dollys

Announcements: F3 picnic on July 30th at Harris Lake

First day of the June Challenge and dues were showing up eager to start posting some points. I haven’t written a backlist in about 2 months…but nothing like a challenge to light a fire under you…so here goes! Great to see these 11 guys out there pushing each other…while we pushed rocks today and seeing all these HIM putting in a strong pace on the indian runs!

EC: Dahmer, Bleeder, Yogurt, YHC

FNG’s: None
Warm Up: SSH x 20, Good Mornings x 10, Sir Fazio’s x 10 (F/R), Imperial Walkers x 10, Chinooks x 10, Windmills x 10, a quick mosey over to the bridge.
The Workout: Two lines, mile long figure 8 Indian Run around and through the ball fields, stopping 4 times: 5 burpees/15 merkins, 5 burpees/15 ct. BTTW, 5 burpees/15 irkins, 5 burpees/15 ct. People’s Chair.  A quick mosey together over to the rock pile and while many PAX began circling up, YHC instructed them rather to head over to the grassy hill for 11’s. There was some groaning about…

11’s on the grassy hill being sire not to wake the residents. Ground Pounders, run up the hill, Wonderers, all IC.

Once finished, we did a rock push bear crawl back across the parking lot with lots of guys picking up the 6…which I think was me today.

We circled up for some rock exercises which included two rounds of the following: Curls for the Girls x 15, Triceps x 15, Rut-Rows x 10 IC. Guys were told to grab 2 smaller hand held rocks and we did a series of 20 ct. shoulder exercises including Front Raise, Lateral Raise, and Press.

We returned rocks and returned the long way around Womble in 1 Indian Run line with a jailbreak at the end. We logged just a bit over two miles as we headed in for Mary.
