Toilet paper Team Tear

13 PAX showed at R4TJ for a changed up event. First day of June challenge is off to a great start.

Divide into two teams
Run a 0.9 route/lap inside Ting
Once 5 laps are completed, you run only the square route.

The flag will be at the top of the ramp with a roll of TP on it. Each time you pass you pull one sheet and add it to your teams pile. The team with the most sheets at the end of 50 mins wins. Timer will be set at the flag.

We ended up with 45 vs 40 sheets of TP. Nice work gents and great push.

BS out!

A Mix of Complaints and Cheers

Ya know…everyone is a critic. At Crazy Ivan, it is incumbent on the Q to choose the playlist, so I always choose mine. Today, there were equal numbers of complaints versus kudos for the playlist. “Hell yeah..this is my jam”, “I’m down with Fanny on this one”, “Thowin it back…yeah!”, It’s too loud”, “what the hell are they singing?”, “This makes me wanna go bust stuff up”, “Crazy Ivan…when Fanny’s the Q, you leave angrier then when you got here.”  Good stuff right there.
Warm Up: SSH x 25, Good Mornings, Seal Claps, Frankensteins, Spinal Rotation.
The Workout: This was a “recover on your time workout”, so the timer just kept going. It was a 1:15/:45 Tabata/AMRAP with the Kettlebells. During the 1:15, YHC would call an exercise. During the :45 PAX had a choice of Boobity-Boobitys, Plank Hold, Swings, or Snatches. Rest was entirely up to the PAX. Some PAX took it upon themselves to stretch, run, etc. during the :45. OK. Exercises that YHC called during the 1:15 segments were: Bell Merkins, Bridge Pullover,  Bobbity Boobity, Squats, Suitcase Lift, 1 leg Deadlift, Lawnmower, Halo, Figure 8, Curls for the Girls, 1 Arm Shoulder Press, Ground Pounders, Plank Pull Through, Midget Cookie Pouch, Midget Love Handle, Swings.
Mary: Bad form plank and downward dog, with some runner’s stretches. Awful Q examplehood!
Announcements: Long Ass Run, 2/12…details on Slack.
T-Claps (Recognition): Ponzi…cotter…back out in the Gloom!
Prayer: Lots of relatives sick or injured. Emeril daughter/family with just being a teenager! YHC took us out and ended this debacle!

Was I Missed?

After the callout from Dumbo last week, I realized I hadn’t been to Paradise City in a bit. Well, YHC decided to throw down a “no secrets here” workout, where everyone looped the entire park more than several times. I think around 3.2-3.5 miles, depending on watches, etc. All Pax stepped up to take several turns in calling 10 count exercises at our stops along the way.

FNG’s: none.
Warm Up: Warm up lap around the entire parking/soccer field L loop. Stopped at bottom of ramp, Top of Stairs, Corner of Sportsmanship, Guardrail, top of hill by tennis courts, over by dumpsters, knee wall at top of ramp. Exercises along the way were: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Frankensteins, Irkins, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Shoulder Taps…all x10.

The Workout: Split in two groups, that ran opposite directions, all stopping at the same spots, to do a PAX choice of a 10 ct. exercise. Two rounds were Indian runs, two rounds were Mosey. We finished a last round together until reaching the basketball courts…literally as time expired.
Mary: built in
Announcements: Long Ass Run Sat. Feb 12th on the ATT…details from Skidmark.
T-Claps (Recognition): Good to see Tetanus back out at Paradise City! Thanks Dumbo for the push!
Prayer: Spoken/Unspoken. Thanks fellas for the opportunity to lead!
