/in /by
Whether it’s training or Shield-Lock, or the combination of both, there was a strong showing of 34 PAX for U-Turn. After warming up, the group disbanded into a large bobbing body of neon light. A thought come to me, ‘What is this, a glow run’?…. A pretty cool sight!

Birthday Q at The Nest

/in /by

FNGs:None
Warm Up: Started the day with a mosey around the parking lot and some line agility work, then circled up for for some side straddle hops, arm stretches (with a warning that they’d need them today), good mornings, and daisy pickers. Then told everyone to partner off for the first main event.
The Workout: I kicked it off with Dora the Explorer. We’d start by needing 100 total reps(L+R=1) from each set of partners of Australian mountain climbers.  One Pax began the reps, while the other ran half a lap around the parking lot, then rotated as needed until all of the six are done. Then it was time to go exploring, we needed to find the sets of 200. It happened to be across the street next to a ramp with handrails. We needed 200 reps of split lunges and the partner would rail walk up  both sets of handrails, then rotate as needed until all of the six were done. Everyone got their 200 and we set off again to find the sets of 300. We found them back in the initial parking lot and were serenaded to the Dora theme song on the mosey there. The sets of 300 were shoulder taps in plank while the partner did the line agility work that we’d started with this morning, then rotate until all of the six were done. Dora was toast but we still had time for more! Line up for main event number 2 – animal 11s.

1 monkey humper in cadence, bear crawl 2 spaces then 10 merkins on my down. Duck walk back followed by 2 monkey humpers in cadence, bear crawl 2 spaces, and 9 merkins on my down. Rinse and repeat totaling 11 each time until the final set of 10 monkey humpers in cadence and 1 merkin on my down

Mary: Mary was sounding good but I mentioned she looked like a couple of avengers to me. Circled up and on your 6 for 10 rounds of Captain Thor’s! Those begin with 1 sit-up and 1 American hammer in cadence. Add 1 rep each time until we reached 10 sit-ups followed by 10 American hammers in cadence. I believe all Pax were sufficiently smoked and one mentioned those felt like Captain America punched Thor in the face! Time for have a nice day and Dovetail took us out with several stretches.
Announcements: There is already an Ice Man in South Wake, so Yetis 2.0 is now named Jester after another pilot in Top Gun.
T-Claps (Recognition): Several EC posts this morning
Prayer: Travel, illness, wildfires, and our troops. I took us out and am thankful for the opportunity to lead

Ultimate Hard Mode

/in , /by

FNGs: None today
Warm Up:

SSH x20 IC

Windmill x10 IC

Frankenstein’s x10 IC
The Workout:

Ultimate frisbee F3 style! When the disc hits the ground do an exercise from a rotating list. For today the list was 10x merkins, 10x squats, 5x burpees. A big up in the number of reps vs what is the norm – that’s why it was hard mode!

When a team scores they call an exercise that everyone does.

Mary:

We played until 42 minutes or so – after a game point call we moseyed back to the parking lot for some Mary.

Low slow flutter x20 IC
