If It Burns For 7 Years… Should You See a Doctor?

FNGs: Friendly, not new

Warm Up: SSH, Daisy Pickers, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Willy Mays Haze 

The Workout: 

  • Running lap around the outside of the field – talk about how Pikachu are electric Pokemon but for some reason are OK swimming and surfing.  Not fire Pokemon though, swimming is a no go.
  • Grab Blocks and head to the soccer field.  1st, take a walking lap around the field with your block.
  • Head into the gate between both fields, drop your block for 5 burpees.  Talk about Pikachu’s Pickle.
  • Pick up blocks and follow the outside line of the field until you reach a corner.  Uneven burpees on the block, 3 each side.
  • Farmer carry the block to the next corner, switching hands half-way.  Talk about Pikachu’s Eggplant.
  • Partner up and set both blocks shoulder-width apart.  Partner 1 completes negative Merkins AMRAP while Partner 2 runs the length of both field end-zones and back.  Switch and complete 2x.
  • Carry blocks to next corner.  Talk about how Gizmo was named after Pikachu’s little soldier.  Also reflect on how much Downrange and Cancun love sausage.
  • 15x Skull Crushers
  • Carry blocks overhead to half-field, recover, carry blocks to the next corner.  Not sure what we talked about here….
  • Run a victory lap around the field.
  • Get back to last corner and partner up for Explosive Merkins.  Setup blocks accordingly.  Partner 1 does Merkins AMRAP, Partner 2 runs one of the two soccer end-zones.  Each completes 1x
  • Go to soccer field endzone and sprint to opposite endzone 1x.  Return mozy.
  • Return Blocks to their home and head to Mary

Toughest Mile Challenge

15 PAX showed to test their strength around the track 4 times. This was brutal but we all pushed ourselves and got stronger.

We started at 0515 with a few warm up exercises. Then it was on like Donkey Kong.

Lap 1 – broad jump burpee
Lap 2 – lunge walk
Lap 3 – bear crawl
Lap 4 – run

Most guys finished up right around the hour mark. We had 3 ruckers join for COT. Maybe we can do this again to see how guys improve. Or not!

COT then prayer.

Awesome job guys. Thanks for joining me in another stupid idea.

cicada with eclipse glasses

2 rounds
Wall Sits
Erkins / Derkins & Dips

As we over by the half wall doing erkins derkins and dips the mumble chatter started and Nemo got to talking about the cicada’s that are all over our neighborhood. He thought it was some of the construction trucks near by the cicads were so loud! I have to admit these cicada’s are pretty loud. Next, Gizmo chimes in with “you know The View said that Lunar Eclipse has something to do with the 2 different types of cicada’s that are emerging from the ground” I didn’t think to much of it besides the fact that it’s a weird coincidence.

Nemo quickly said, “On a side note, how long have you been watching The View Gizmo?”  We all lost it and had a good laugh.
