EVENing the ODDs

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

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Mosey from parking lot to track. Hamstring Stretch, Quad Stretch, Pull knee to chest
The Workout:

PAX were instructed on the ground rules for the ME: ODD numbers must be completed in sequence. EVEN numbers are interchangeable throughout the non-stop 45 min timer. I/C exercises were to be done in proper cadence timing and lap work on EVEN’s were to be held to the spot you stopped on the track. i.e. Don’t start walking on bear crawls if your tired. PAX were politely told to have some self-respect and be honorable in their effort. To quote Pablo “I’ll be checking accountability and I ain’t your Daddy.”

PAX were instructed to pick up the 6 on EVEN numbered exercises. Flip a tire, bear crawl an extra distance, throw an extra rep or cadence rep to the 6’s way. Plenty of help given during lack of “will” moments.

I don’t have every PAX’s completed Events. (Each # is an event) But I can come back and edit as they come through.

Nemo: 6 , Mookie: 5, Breach: 6, 16 Bit: 4, Fanny Pack: 6, Maybeline: 7, Cupid: 6, Pablo: 6, FRAM: 6, Roger Roger: ? , Mad Dog 20/20: ? Floe/Joe: ? , Hardy: ?,

Lots of lesson to be learned from this: Help someone, Ask for help, Get past the surface of fear and pain, True Accountability, Steel sharpens steel.

Mary: Not time
Announcements: None (Too tired)
T-Claps (Recognition): Maybeline, Breach and Fanny Pack for EC.  ALL the PAX who committed to the workout. ALL PAX for competing against YOU vs YOU.
Prayer: Pablo’s Family Friend, Roger Roger’s extend families medical issues, Floe/Joe medical issues with family and wife’s getting job opportunities.

Dirty Dozen at Prison Yard Thinking About Stirrups

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

FNGs: No, but welcome back kotter, Tim (Hoege?) a.k.a. Cream of Corn (originally from NE, named in SW 4 yrs ago)
Warm Up:  Many PAX got their point and ran for two miles (~20 mins).  Dumbo missed us at 5:05 am and ran on his own; I overhead him saying waiting in the driveway for Pablo who never came out.  Hope Pablo is OK.  Circled up for the following exercises:  good am, SSH, daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios, seal claps, o/h claps, Mike Phelps…
The Workout:  The warden brought many dumbbells ranging in weight from 15 lbs to 50 lbs.  An index card with a few exercises were written down as a suggestion (implied 10 reps) and dumbbells were spread out over the parking lot.  A 20 lb stretchy thing was added, as well as a cinder block and jump rope.  See pic for details of exercises.  The time keeper was  the 50 lb dumbbell.  Note this 50 pounder was either carried by itself or farmer’s carry (Two 50 lb dumbbells).  Some brave PAX tried the farmer’s carry including Warbucks, Cupid, Shredder…(apologies if I left out anyone).  PAX had to carry the 50 lb dumbbell around the parking lot.  While this was going on, PAX cranked out their respective exercises with their specific weight/tool/coupon.  If no tools were available, PAX were instructed to do core exercises.
Mary:  Circled up for 6 inches, box cutters, and static stretches that included some work on the groin area.  Lots of mumble chatter about stirrups.  It was quite the visual.  Cream of Corn may not come back for another four years.
Announcements:  JOCO CSAUP. Murph on Memorial Day, Bed builds, 5Ks coming up…
T-Claps (Recognition):  PAX showing great effort today especially with the farmer’s carry
Prayer:  Dumbo took us out – thank you!  Prayers for an infant born too early who gave joy to his family for a handful of weeks…..automatically gone to heaven; UNSPOKEN
Thanks PAX for helping me load/unload my car this am.

Honored to lead (Forgot to say the Pledge of Allegiance – thinking about the stirrups I guess).  -Dauber

This was my first time at Needmore Park. The routes were great and we had some quality mumble chatter along the way.

EC:  A lot of PAX were there for EC.

FNGs: not today

Warm Up:    10 x Good Mornings, 10 x Spinal Rotations

The Workout:  We ran the Yellow route for EC so I suggested we take the yellow route in reverse. After some discussion to coordinate the coffee stop, we decided to take the blue route and then the yellow route. We made a pit stop at Breach’s house for coffee and then headed bag to the flag.

Mary: Short on Time

25 PAX got a taste of the old school route this morning. We had a bunch of ECers run over from Jones Park as well. Lot of good chatter on this brisk morning. Nice work picking up the six. The 3 mile group did some yoga after their run. Pikachu called in sick so YHC stepped up for some May points. Nice work all around.

We ended with prayer as always.

Thanks for allowing me to lead.

BS out!

Just Hanging Out

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

FNGs: Nope
Warm Up: Good mornings, windmills, frankenstein kicks, sir fazio arm circles
The Workout:
Mosey behind the Hunt Center and down to the Pit. PAX counted off into 2 groups.
Group 1 did 1 WWII and ran up big hill for 1 merkin. Then 2 WWI+2 merkins.
Group 2 ran the 4 corners of the soccer field stopping at each corner for 10 merkins and 10 WWIIs.
then switch.
After 1 round Group 1 continued their count on the hill with squats and box cutters while group 2 took another lap around the field with 10 squats and 10 box cutters at each corner.

Mosey over to the playground. Poopeater nearly caught a cute bunny, but it was much too fast.

Partner 1 hangs from playground bar while partner runs to corner of parking lot and back and switch.

This was the warm-up for a hang contest. 1st partner hung on bar for time while other partner held chill cut plank.
1st group was won by 187 hanging for just over a minute.
2nd group had Pikachu holding for 1 minute while Hardy and Warbucks held strong. YHC could have done this all day, but we had to get to Mary.

So your challenge rankings looked like this.
1. Hardy
T2. Warbucks – 187
4. Pikachu
T5. All other challengers

Hardy, Warbucks, 187, are not in May challenge. So your favorite 4th place Pokemon took home the Q for U-Turn. Not without some saltiness from some PAX.

Mosey back to the flag.

Warm Up: Windmills, Frankensteins, SSH, Irish Potato Pickers

The Workout:  ULTIMATE!  We were down in the pit across from Womble.  Notable MVPs were Breach, Cancun, Maybelline, Redenbacher, Bullseye, and Pumpkin Spice.  Repeated big plays by these PAX.  Overall though this was a great game that was very equally matched.  Who won!?  I don’t remember the specifics but I feel like we all won really.

Mary: NO SIR

Moseyed to the playgrounds. This became complicated. Note to self. This is not easy to explain.
Split up into 2 groups. The pax went around the circle. Pax will hold plank. Pax in the back will Burpee and bear crawl to the front. When we got to the fence we did 5 each leg Bulgarian squats. I will think about how I can improve this workout.
