Memorial Day Murph Challenge- 2021

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

32 Pax showed up today to help me (Shredder) celebrate my 4 year F3 anniversary and more importantly pay respect to our nation’s fallen during our annual Memorial Day Murph Challenge.

Impressive effort by all, especially after the May Challenge. 30 joined in on the Murph, Dauber (IR) joined to capture the event and support with donuts, and Breach (after doing a Murph at 0600) stopped by to give us his thoughts on Memorial Day and his recent visit to Arlington National Cemetery.

Warm Up: short warm-up with SSH, Good Mornings, Willie Mays Hayes, & Frankensteins. Pax counted off by 2s and headed off in opposite directions for Mile 1.

The Workout: 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, 100 mile run.  Since this is F3 the last mile was an Indian Run race with the slower group having to knock out 50, scratch that, 20 Burpees. After a quick “speech”, the two groups took off in their different directions.

The mental battle was in full effect as my mind kept telling me “you need to quit”, just after I told everyone we needed to learn to Embrace the Suck. But Pax did what they do best and mentally drug me through the last mile.

As everyone wrapped up their last mile and came back together, guess what…..? Yep. We all did Burpees.

T-Claps (Recognition): We raised $425+ for HSPD first response bags. Sprinkler’s team donated 1/2 of their May Challenge winnings to the 1st response bags and 1/2 to the FQV bed building. Great work #HIM.    

: YHC took us out. Remember why we have a Memorial Day. Freedom is not Free! 🇺🇸

Warm Up:

Warmed up w/Mutiny – SSH, Good Morning, Daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios courtesy of Martini
The Workout:

Shamelessly borrowed from a Skidmark Q at Ivan. For each set of exercises YHC went through a quick progression going over form. Pax then went through the set and ran a loop around the nearest parking lot island, noting what order they finished in. They then competed with their nearest partner with the “winner” adding 1x burpee or 1x turkish getup to try and even the field.

Exercise Group 1
5 burpees
10 Kettlebell Squats – Kettlebell held overhead in arm
15 Presses
20 Kettlebell Swings

Exercise Group 2
5 Turkish Get ups
10 Snatches
15 Overhead Press (two hands)
20 Squats

We went through each grouping 3 total times

Mary:
Moseyed to the tennis courts for 20x Low Slow Flutter and LBCs

Mutiny pax joined us and we also stole M4Life’s Q from the recent JocoGa CSAUP – we played B-Sides (aka Bring Sally Up) with pax in plank hold going from chill cut to regular and back as told to bring sally up/down.

Tennis at the trot

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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

FNGs: nope

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Bounce, neck rotations, spinal rotations, foot traces, hinge stretch, windmill. Finish with a lap around the block to get the HR up.

Exercises –

  • clean and press (stairs)
  • swings (farmers carry)
  • single leg dead lift (stairs)
  • ballistic row (stairs)
  • off set pushup (farmers carry)
  • Midge cookie pouch (stairs)

    FNGs:  Welcome Jukebox, future patrolman who loves to sing.  Thanks for bringing this young man out Pumpkin Spice.  Good to see your college basketball playing, former HS Hawk XC star, Cobbler, out to the gloom too.
    Warm Up:  many PAX participated in VC.  Bike ride +10 miles.  PAX moist.
    The Workout:  YOGA, much needed.  Look, I will simply attach a pic of the movements we executed.  Special thanks to Cancun who provided the play by play and color commentary of all the moves attempted.  I tried finding the prisoner terminology he used on this sheet I downloaded from the internet but was unable to locate the verbiage.  I will defer to Cancun for his intimate experiences.  Quite flexible for a 6’4” 260 pound dude.  Awesome.  The much anticipated spread Eagle was executed flawlessly by many.  Only a few PAX let out some flatulence.
    Mary:  lots of stretching, balance stuff.  Full 45 mins of pure awesomeness IMO.
    Announcements:  CSAUP, Murph, bed build, 5Ks, see Slack/FB
    T-Claps (Recognition):  Happy Birthday Cancun!  All PAX killing it during May challenge.  Remember to listen to your body and REST.
    Prayer:  Interrupted by geese, goslings and churlish children, YHC chided them and finished up in thoughtful, loving prayers only a seasoned parent could pull off.
