Disney 11/5

PAX: , , , , , , , , , ,

11 men went on a magical journey to Disney World this AM @Sprinkler @Fanny Pack @Oboe @bondo @Nemo @Crab Legs @187 @POTS @Kosher @FRAM. 

Warm Up: A quick jog around the soccer field and 22 count reps of SSH, Imperial Walkers/Hillbillies, Windmills and Daisy Pickers

The Workout: We had our Friend Chesty Puller join us for a mosey down to Sprinklers truck for some coupons before we took a trip to the abyss. Once we arrived at the abyss we partnered up for a very exciting Dora that consisted of 100 merkins, 200 squats, and 300 LBC’s. When partner 1 was going to the bottom of the abyss for a ladder of burpees partner 2 would chip away at the exercises. Everyone had to take a turn, taking chesty to the bottom and bringing him back up, many coupons were also transported in the process. Took a mosey back to the parking lot for mary.

Mary: Circle up for some more 22 count exercises of Low, slow flutters, Freddie merceries, and some side plank reach throughs.

The point of the exercise was to simulate how it would be to carry someone on the battlefield if they were injured as we are on the verge of veterans day. A small reminder of the price some had to pay to keep our country safe and to protect our way of life.

Announcements: Winter CSAUP planning in the process will be a ruck style event that will span some of the AO’s in the Quay. Looking at the weekend of Dec 5th or Dec 12th. Details to follow soon.

Crab Legs had a great message to share about the importance of all the efforts that we have had around ALS research and how it is making a huge impact on his life as well as the lives of others.

Prayer: Keep Crab legs in our prayers, Fanny Pack, and his wife as she is working through some medical issues and for our country to move forward on a positive note regardless of the election outcome.

It was a cool drizzly morning.

We Don’t Do Bear Crawls Here

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

YHC took his first Q of the ship at Mutiny today! Always a great crowd, always hard work, but never bear crawls! At least, that’s the joke made by LED after YHC apparently chose a pretty tough bear crawl routine this morning. Always great to see the Fuquay Fellas!

EC’ers: LED, H1N1 (who peaced out prior to workout to do something even more important…celebrate his boy’s 14th trip around the Sun! Way to make a great move HIM!)

FNG’s: nope
Warm Up: Pax warmed up alongside the Red October crew before splitting. Moseyed around the parking lot for some Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Bent Over Seal Claps, Bent Over Overhead Claps, and SSH.
The Workout: Moseyed over to the short hill by fences and field. YHC had quite an array of counts while doing this routine. Merkins at the bottom and Fence Squats at the top of the hill. Merkin counts on the bottom were: 20, 21, 17, 7, 9, 12, and 7. Squat counts at the top were: 25, 20, 13, 8, 9, 20, and 30. Finished with 7 counts of standard, diamond, wide-grip, and hand release merkins at the bottom. YHC purposely kept most counts random to eliminate Pax predictability. At one point, I heard some mumblechatter wondering if we would spend the whole workout going up and down this short hill with two exercises…maybe an idea for the future! Mosey over to the bleachers next for a more predictable 2 rounds of 3 exercises. We did 30 dips, 25 step-ups, 15 close grip bleacher merkins, 20 step-ups, 15 close grip bleacher merkins, and 25 dips. Arms and shoulders starting to get torched!

We made our way to the tennis courts for 25 ct. prisoner squats, 25 ct. sumo squat jumps, and 25 ct. prisoner squats. We then did a bear crawl suicide routine. Starting at the fence, each Pax would bear crawl to a tennis line and perform a burpee, with each line adding a burpee. We did this across two full courts, giving us 8 runs of bear crawls with up to 8 burpees. Several Pax did an additional bear crawl to pick up the 6 toward the end.

Pax then journeyed out to the nearby wall for a all pax 20 count of People’s Chair, before returning inside the courts for Mary.

Mary: With Red October men re-joining, we held a plank hold for an all Pax 10 count. 40 WW1’s, 15 LBC’s IC, 10 WW1’s, 15 LBC’s IC. Have a nice day!
Announcements: Great 3rd F events this last weekend. Plenty of food and monetary donations to Momma’s House in the FV and great work done at the HS Food Cupboard. HIM’s galore! Breach is organizing hygiene ruck for this Thursday…check Slack!
T-Claps (Recognition): Bebop for not giving up on the bear crawl suicide and pax for talking him up as he finished. This is what it’s all about!
Prayer: Schools, our nation, Pax to be mindful to stay safe in COVID. Breach took us out. I think I’ll take this ship out sailing again soon…honor to lead!
