Disney Ultimate Drills and Thrills

Any Disc Will Do

FNGs: No, but one Kotter: @BooBoo
Warm Up: Mosey around turf fields. Circle up for 10 Good mornings, 10 Imperial walkers, 10 Hillbillies, 10×2 Arm circles, no SSHs!

The Workout: Indian run mosey to small lot near football field. Time for Seven of Diamonds. Hit the corners in this sequence: 7 burpees, 14 low slow flutters, 21 merkins, 28 squats. Because FloJo brought his disc, we had to use it! One PAX broke and another connected with the disc. Lots of good throws, lots of bad throws. Three additional burpees for every time the disc hit the ground. We did at least 21 extra burpees. Rinse and repeat until we completed two rounds of Seven of Diamonds and everyone got to throw or catch the disc in between.

Mosey to large parking lot. General Indian run with one PAX breaking out front to catch a throw. Three burpees for every drop. We did at least 21 more burpees.

The Drills: At the large parking lot, I had placed two separate lines of cones about 40 feet apart and then about 20 feet between each cone in the respective line. We split in half. We ran this drill in groups of three: PAX 2 and 3 break towards cone 1 and 2, respectively. PAX 1 connects with PAX 2 with disc at cone 1. PAX 2 connects with PAX 3 at cone 2. PAX 1 breaks to cone 3 and PAX 3 connects with PAX 1 with the disc. If the disc hits, the ground, start over. Continue until you reach the end of cones. Finally, a “fast” run back to beginning.

Line 1 had an advantage because we had FloJo’s typical Ultimate disc. Line 2 had a disc golf putter, which does not float! When Line 1 switched to the putter, we had many more struggles. After running this drill ’til we all improved, we stretched out the line of cones to increase the distance and called the last two cones the End Zone. Keep drilling, keep drilling, keep improving. Repeated until we had about 5 minutes remaining.

Mary: Mosey back to flag. Circle up for a couple of minutes of low slow flutter to the beat of BTO Takin’ Care of Business. Have a nice day!

Announcements: F3 SouthWake Christmas party tonight, Bombshell. Captain Jack announced that CarPex is expanding into a new region, to be known as South Cary. He is exploring opportunities on east side of US1 and is identifying where the SouthWake region is.
T-Claps (Recognition): UTI reminded everyone to check up on PAX who have not posted in a while. UTI connected with BooBoo and many, many more PAX via email. Like 200 or more. Check in with someone, you never know what is going on in someone’s life. They could probably use some support.
Prayer: Quiver’s sister-in-law on track recovering from cancer; Bondo’s family friend Tomer, whose ear infection caused additional damage; Lipstick’s M, who could be delivering a baby today.

Finally, don’t bother buying an Aerobie Skylighter disc,. The disc itself was terrible and the lights did not work.

Little Game of Frogger

EC: Peeping Tom, Lite Brite, Pikachu, Lipstick
Warm Up: Parking in the park was not an option and PAX parked across the road on the shoulder.  We warmed up with a quick game of Frogger to make our way in the park.  Circled up for SSH, Imperial Walkers, Good Mornings and Mountain Climbers.
The Workout: Peeping Tom led the front half and took us deeper into the park to find one of Cary’s finest slides.  Pax really wanted to go down the slide but Q had other plans.  Two groups, 1 doing 10 pull-ups while other group did 10 crab cakes. (Rotate) Pax then made there way to the Crowder Pond and found a wooden bridge to do Erkins and Derkins (2 sets of 10 each)  Pax then ventured over to a picnic shelter and did 2 sets of 20 step ups and dips.  Pax found a pickle parking lot and did 5’s.  Diamond Merkins on one end and Q called for Turkish get ups and YHC called a modify for Turkish Star Jumps on the other.

YHC then took over the back half.  PAX went back to the picnic shelter and split into two groups. Group 1 held planks across the picnic tables, while group 2 ran the pickle lot and army crawled under the PAX holding plank hold. We repeated this 3 times.  Pax then moseyed a scenic route around the pond and over to the baseball field.  Pax stuck to the groups and Group 1 held balls to the wall, while group 2 ran the perimiter of the field. Repeat twice
Mary: Pickle Pounders, Homer to Marge and more Pickle Pounders.  Pax then finalized the workout with a return game of Frogger
Announcements: 1776 workouts tomorrow- Womble for South Wake- Bond Park? for CARPEX;  Odyssey October 5th; July 27th CSAUP in Greenvile .  Keep up with Slack and location of next weeks AO.  Good possibility we try and different spot with better parking.
