Once back, we did an 80 count of Preacher’s Chair and an 80 count of BTTW.

Bakers Dozen for June Ultimate at Ting

5 June challengers did some EC to get max points to start the week of right (Cupid, LED, Sunshine, Fram and Breach)

A Baker’s dozen of running crazed warriors took the filed at Ting for the June challenge version of Ultimate

Cupid, LED, Fram, Wham-O, Roaming Knome, Gillette, Gump, Sunshine, UTI, Kubota, Yogurt, Cornholio, and Breach on the Q

Warm Up: 22 Counts of Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins and some Good mornings to stretch those hamstrings.

The Workout: Ultimate, 3 merkins on the frisbee drop to start, then 3 Squats and a 10 count exercise for each score, we did some Side Straddle Hops, Merkins, Burpees, LBCs, Big Boy Situps, Hillbillies, Imperial walkers, and some Squats.

Mary: Learned a little more about Gump and found that his name has nothing to do with running

Announcements: 3 Alarm is doing better, we are going to take this week off but @Yogurt requested that we come back in force next week to bring his spirits up.

Prayer: Pray for us, a lot of shootings out there, we need to heal together as a country. Talk to your kids about an active shooter. They need to know what it is so they can be aware of the situation if it ever arises.

Boulder work

FNGs: none
Warm Up: usual warm o rama with some surprise merkins
The Workout: Circle to with your rock and played survivor with a set of 5 exercises, 15 reps each, and a rotation sheet each exercise. Ruh rohs, curls, triceps extension, skull crushers, overhead press. The least favorite exercise (not PAX, that’s just hurtful) got voted off each round. Didn’t help that Fram choose a boulder.

Over to the dugout for some bar hangs. 6 saw who could hang the longest while the other 6 “cheered” them on doing amrap squats.

Mary: Popcorn Mary with some upper body stretches.
Announcements: June challenge, lipstick meal train, run the Quay
T-Claps (Recognition): 7 for EC. Great showing!

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.

Uptown Funk

The last two time YHC Q’d at Possum Trot I was either solo or there was one other man there so imagine my delight when I pulled in this morning to find 5 other cars parked and waiting.  A good crowd came out to get strong together and to bring a new brother in to the fold.  I was “looking forward” to this workout for a couple days and was excited to see how it played out.  Hopefully everyone enjoyed their time this morning.

FNGs:

Welcome Rocky Road!

Warm Up:

After the disclaimer was given we did a  quick warmup lap around the tennis courts and then circled up for our warmup.

20x SSH IC

10x Sir Fazio Arm circles forward and reverse IC

10x Windmill IC

10x Daisy Pickers IC

10x Frankenstein IC

10x Imperial Walker IX

The Workout:

We moseyed to the gate at the top of the road that ran down along the ballfields where YHC described this morning’s fun.  The exercise I had come up with I was naming Build’em Up Ultracides.  The format was simple.  We’d do 5 count exercise and then run to a spot where we’d do those 5 again and then 10 of another.  We’d run back to the start where we’d do the 5, 10, and then 15 of another.  Run to a farther spot and… you get the picture.

The exercises were:

5 – Burpees

10 – Merkins

15 – Turkish Getups

20 – SSH

25 – American Hammers

30 – Squats

Our running points were (obviously) at the gate to start, then to the concession stand, back to the gate, down to the playground, back to the gate, down to the end of the road, and then back to the gate.

Once we got all the way to 30 we started to work our way back down, removing an exercise each stop.  We swapped the Turkish getups and merkins for time’s sake.  Even with that we didn’t get all the way through and ended with a 15 count.  I was pretty sweaty and didn’t feel like we lost anything so we headed up to the tennis courts for

Mary:

Circle up in the tennis courts for :

10x LBC

10x LBC with knees to the left and then to the right

10x LSF

10x Box cutters

Announcements:

Trash pickup this Sunday at the Prison Yard/Needmore Ruck AO site from 7-8.  Reach out to LED or Sprinker for more details

Sleep in Heavenly Peace eagle scout bed build upcoming and then need help.  More information to come on this.

Prayer:

Fram’s friend Randy from his small group who is dealing with cancer

YHC’s coworker Alan who is also dealing with cancer as well as surgery complications

YHC and my family.  It’s been a rough year filled with COVID, stress, mental health concerns with the kids, and struggling motivation for me

 

I hope you all enjoyed this morning as much as I did.  For as much as I’ve been struggling this year I always feel so much better after getting out there and seeing all your smiling, sweaty faces.  Expect to see more of me as I turn this year around, starting today.

 

Always an honor
