AMRAP Indian Runs!

/in , /by

PAX of 21 posted at Disney, “Where Dreams Come True” (dreams can be nightmares too) for a BRR friendly workout.  The definition of friendly was debated by Nemo after the workout.  Q was happy to see a large group of #HIM swallowed the DRP and decided to show up for EC (15 in total).  Upon further inspection, he was even more pleased to see that there were no Fritter Quitters.

FNGs: None

EC: Pablo, M4L. Dawgpound, Emeril, ShamWow!, Crosby, Dahmer, 187, Axe, Plex, Pilgrim, Bernie, Pumkin Spice, Nemo, Katniss

Fritter: New Fritters: Bernie, Pilgrim, Crosby, Katniss  Repeat Fritters: Dawgpound, Emeril, M4L, ShamWow!, Pumpkin Spice  Fritter Quitters: None

Warm Up: All exercises in cadence: SSH x 20, Imperial Walkers x 20, Hillbillies x 20, Fazio arm circles 10 forward 10 back

The Workout: PAX split into small groups (3 groups of 5 and 1 group of 6) based on speed for Indian runs.  In there groups, PAX moseyed to the drop-off circle at the front of MCHS where they found benches to complete 10 erkins, 10 derkins, 10 dips, and 10 more erkins while we waited for the six.  Once we regrouped, we moved to the gate that separates the faculty lot from the road for the main entrance.  In their Indian run groups, PAX were instructed to run up the long road to West Lake Rd and do 5 burpess, run back and bear crawl under the gate, run up the short road to Middle Creek Park Ave and do 5 star jumps, run back to the gate, and wash-rinse-repeat until Q called time.  After 30+ minutes, Q called PAX back do the gate to regroup.  While waiting for the six, we completed LBC ICx25, 25 Merkins, SSH ICx25.  Once we all regrouped at the gate, all groups combined for a large group Indian run back to the flag for Mary.

Mary: All exercises in cadence: Low Slow Flutter x 20, Homer to Marge x 20, Freddie Mercury 20 regular and 20 reverse, Pickle Pounders x 20, Have a nice day!

Announcements: Blue Hen 5 year anniversary Q @ cletus with a 5 mile EC that starts at 4:30, Breath Taker charity is the Holly Springs Food Cupboard: Accepting donations of cash (Fritter Foundation is matching all cash donations), food, or time at the cupboard to help in garden or general repairs (meeting there this Saturday)

Prayer: Drew (victim in UNC Charlotte shooting), Crablegs, Bernie’s stepmom, Pilgrim’s father, spoken and unspoken.  Thank you to Pumpkin Spice for taking us out in prayer!

Rocks at the Trot

/in /by

It was great to be back at the Trot in front of 27 high impact men eager for a “Rock” beat down promised on social media.

FNGs:  None

Warm Up:  Jog around tennis courts.  Circle up in parking lot.  25 SSH, 10 IW, 10 HB, 10 Daisy Pickers, 10 Good Mornings, 10 Seal Claps, 10 Thunder Claps (all in cadence).

The Workout:  Jog to the snack shack.  Lined up in front of hill adjacent to ballpark fence.  Sevens of Merkins and LBCs.  Line up against outfield fence for 25 count people’s chair, 25 count BTTW.  Lots of chatter/commotion as the chain link fence may not have been as sturdy as Q anticipated for said exercises.  Adapt and overcome – headed to the snack shack for 25 count Australian Mountain Climbers and People’s Chair.  Chatter continued as PAX lined up on road in two lines.  Not sure what PAX anticipated but Q began Frankenstein’s, Gate openings and Lunges up the hill.  Mosey to rock pile for medium size rock.  PAX lined up with their rock in two opposing lines.  Q was at one end in the middle leading the following rock exercises with a couple of 10 count breaks in between:  10 count cadence – Curls for the girls, OH press, Tricep extension, Side twists, goblet Squats, Rut-rows.  PAX continued with their rock performing the following exercises on their six:  Homer to Marge, chest press with feet 6 inches off, skull crushers, LSF with rock extended above chest and LSF with rock extended behind head (that was a fun one).  Chatter was minimal.  Hmmm.  PAX finally put their rock down and began 25 count of toe taps, side to side jumps (over rock), front and backward jumps (over rock).  With rock at feet, PAX completed a square circuit beginning 10 R and then 10 L.  PAX switched rocks.  Some Mosey and curls.  Felt like I was back at ROTC Field Training on the parade grounds.  10 Burpees together.  Closed out with 10 cadence counts bicep curls, tricep curls and OH curls.  Return rocks to pile.

Mary:  Various Yoga positions for cool down.

Announcements:  Bottle exchange at LipSync home (whether or not he is home) this Friday; Torch Run; Food Cupboard (need more PAX turnout – See Emeril); Lots of PAX celebrating F3 Anniversaries – Guest Qs coming:  Memorial Day workouts and Murph at 0730 (Womble).  Check Social Media.

T-Claps (Recognition):  Highlighted Rainmaker (Pete McKeon) today as 6th man.  Originally from NY/CT, LEO (20 years); Great F3 naming – during an interview with a person in custody, threw his keys to another LEO and inadvertently hit a sprinkler causing the sprinkler system to go off!  LOL!  Mets fan.  LOL! Active 5-6 months in F3.

Prayer:  Messi has schoolmates involved in a 4 wheeler accident – doing OK; wear helmets!  Injured PAX; Silent / Unspoken prayers.  Thank you Fonzie for leading PAX out today in prayer.

EC:  Messi (bike), Fonzi, Pumkin Spice, H1N1, Katniss, Pilgrim, Bernie, Crosby, LED, Cupid, ShamWow!, Emeril, Dawgpound, Pikachu, M4L, Skidmark (ruck) and The Natural.

 

An honor leading you brothers – Dauber.
