Tennis at the trot

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Nice mosey around the tennis court stoping at each parking lot light to do a prescribed exercise.  Along the way we divided into 1’s and 2’s and picked up our coupon (rock) to use over at the hill.
The Workout:

At the hill 1’s and 2’s partnered up to do circuit exercises.  Going up the hill one partner would do a rock climber (bear crawl with rock) at the top we did in sets of 10, 15, 20, and 25 Dips, Irkins, Tricep Ext, and curls for the girls.  Partner at the bottom was doing Mountain climbers, Monkey Humpers, Marionettes, and then Mexican Jumping beans.

After much mumblechatter and @Redenbacher almost loosing a leg from a falling rock down the hill we moved over to the tennis courts for a little game of F3 Tennis.  Rules: ball can only bounce once on your side, player bounce player not player bounce bounce, serve has to make it over net from the back rectangle, opposing team gave prescribed exercise if the team got a penalty.  Playing to 10.
Mary: We did Low slow flutter, boxcutters, E2Ks, boat canoes, and pickle pounders (to get ready for Father’s Day of course)
Announcements: June 26th F3 picnic at Harris Lake, June 12th SIHP bed build, Memorial Day Murph, Red shirts on Friday

Prayer:

Are you bad listeners or am I a bad leader?

FNGs: Not today
Warm Up: Mosey to a wall for BTW and a count off of PAX… It took us about 6 times to actually get a count off. The precedence was set for a chatty workout with nobody listening to YHC.  We began to mosey to other side of lot for SSH x15. PAX was surprised by the x15 on SSH, as YHC is known for his x50 or even x100 to begin workouts.  YHC threw a curveball on the SSH, as he called them again, but this time as 21’s.  Q calls out 2 count SSH for the first 1-5 and then 6-21 are silent. If the PAX don’t finish all at the same time in cadence on 21, repeato….Lets just say we repeated quite a few times.  We even had some OYO Peeping Lipsticks when the PAX struck out 3x for not being quiet.   We continued the mosey to another lot and did more warmups.

The Workout: Partner up and suicides across lot with peeping lipsticks.  6 suicide stops- Pax 1 goes to first and back while Pax 2 does peeping lipsticks, rotate partners after each suicide stop, until we got to the end.  Pax had a hard time understanding and also questioned the legitimacy of a peeping lipstick (turkesh getup with a star jump)  It’s in the exicon!   Next we mosey to the bus stop where YHC had coupon pain stations setup.  Partner 1 worked with coupon while partner 2 ran out and back. Switch roles and then switch stations as we rotated through 7 stations.  Stations as followed: Merkin Jack Webb with Cinderblock (2 stations) Weighted jump rope, grave diggers with 20lb mace, death march with 10lb mace, kettlebell swings 35lb, kettlebell tricep extensions 15lb. Closed out with 21s again to test our progress. It only took 3 times to nail it, Pots even turned his back to the Pax!
Mary:  Mary caught the bus and we kept the heartrate up until the end!

OG U-turn returns

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

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.

Baker’s Dozen at a Respectful Downtown Train

FNGs: None. welcome back kotter – KOSHER!  Great to have you back in the gloom
Warm Up:  Circled up after a bunch of PAX ran 2 miles EC in the rain.  Thanks for picking up the six men.  Began with 20 SSH, daisy pickers, sir fazio (F/R), seal claps, overhead claps, Don Quixote, and Imperial Walkers.  Gave PAX an overview of the workout and we were off to library hill, not the parking garage.
The Workout:  Ran down library hill.  SAFETY Point:  only one PAX had a head lamp.  Completely poor leadership on YHC.  Thank you Lipsync for lighting the way.  Stopped at the stop sign/fire hydrant and cranked out 10 squats.  Proceeded down the road until we reached the cross walk.  5 burpees OYO.  Mumble chatter had continued from the warm-up….something about would this be a running boot camp?  From Dauber?  PPPLEASE!   Back to the fire hydrant for 10 merkins. What goes down must come up?  Heading back up library hill. At the top, conducted 10 star jumps.  Off to the rock pile.  Asked PAX to get a medium rock.  Size does matter.  11/13 rocks were fine.  Other two…I think they were replaced for bigger ones.  Lined up near sidewalk until a car was spotted and we moved again on to the sidewalk.  Once again, better leadership was needed by me.  We did A LOT of exercises with the rocks in cadence mostly.  Exercises included, curls for the girls, tricep extensions, slap rock, toe taps, rut-rows, wonder bras, upright rows, squats, overhead press, ground pounders, bus drivers, etc.  From our six, more rock exercises including nipplers, straight arm curl, 6 inches with rock above chest, box cutters, etc.  Returned the rocks.  Thanks again to Lipsync for lighting our way.  Off to the amphitheater wall by library.  All PAX participated in 10 count BTTW or people’s chair rotating between the two exercises.  Running out of time head to flag for Mary.
Mary:  American hammers, box cutters, protractors (some trouble with math due to Dauber’s public education), H2M, six inches, etc.  Finished with some yoga including DD, chair, pigeon…
Announcements:  Build a bed; Run for HSPD/officer in need; see Slack/FB.
T-Claps (Recognition):  Fundraising for Brandon Rizzuti (and his mom) for the purchase of a new chair and local company gift cards! T-claps to those who organized (Lipsync) and everyone who donated bottles and all PAX who purchased raffle tickets.  Good luck everyone.
Prayer:  Thank you Norm for leading us out in prayer today.  Prayers for India, injured PAX – including PAX who was in a bike accident, Deuce’s surgery, first responders, for our country, Unspoken….

Finished with the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag.  I saw this at AGS by Full House.  I love this idea.  Encourage other Qs to incorporate in their workouts.

Honored to lead!

Thank you to Quiver for asking PAX with RESPECT to lead DT in the month of May.
