Thunder YOGA w/ 19 PAX

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.

Honored to lead – Dauber.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go!

FNGs: none, but lots of new riders to VC.  Administered Safety brief, rules of road, helmets…Made sure EVERYONE knew how to change their gears on their bikes, especially bikes that were borrowed.
Warm Up:  oyo
The Workout:  see pic.  Really proud of the effort everyone put in this afternoon and Lipsync for picking up the six and making sure the Q knew where he was going.
Mary:  on tennis courts, good evenings, static stretches, Frankensteins
Announcements:  see FB, Slack; 5K runs, bed build
T-Claps (Recognition): PAX coming out to VC for the first time; Breach for riding his bike from Needmore area and making it ON TIME (gassed, but on-time nonetheless); Sprinkler did drive him home with his bike in the back of the truck.  Nice job Captain.  And special shout out to my mom who graciously supplied water bottles to PAX that just forgot to bring.  Luckily her house was on the route and she was at home.
Prayer:  Unspoken, military appreciation month, less fortunate….thanks Breach for taking us out.

Pledge of Allegiance

Honored to lead.  -Dauber

March Madness at Thunder

This is a backblasts that YHC is writing a month or so late as I got caught up in Snowbird’s March Madness Challenge in Raleigh and Backblasts got put on the Back-burner.

Workout Date: 03/31/21
For those of you who have been following Raleigh’s March Madness Challenge, the biggest competition was in the second week between Boitano and Spit Valve. These men went head to head: posting, pre-running, doubling down, even tripling down. When the dust settled, Boitano was victorious by a point! I asked Spit Valve what happened, and that’s when I found out about Thunder in South Wake. I immediately signed up to Q for 3/31.

The Heart of March Madness

Warm Up:
Give the mission statement, check for FNGs, give the disclaimer, and warm up:
It’s been a month, and my FNG showed up in the middle so I really don’t remember. I hope I repeated the disclaimer.

Main Event
1) L-R step ups, Irkins, Dips, LBCs, Derkins under the picnic shelter
2) Rock work at the rock pile
3) Wall work at the amphitheater
4) Dora 1-2-3 to finish us out

Mary:
Various Mary exercises. I don’t remember which ones.

COT:
9 PAX
Prayers for babies on the way, couples struggling to conceive, a friend in a coma, a parent about to have heart surgery.
Rams took us out.

Naked Moleskin:
Boitano did not show. As late as this morning, he was still in the competition, trying to throw me off after The Blitz. He sent me congratulations earlier in the day, but I couldn’t decide if it was another head fake until halfway through Thunder. I still expected him to roll up with two FNGs.
Speaking of FNGs, Gizmo is my first FNG! Thank you, Boitano for pushing me. There’s no way I would’ve reached out to him it weren’t for you. He even texted me to bail out about 45 minutes before the workout. So I told him about the competition and that he could very well be the difference. It worked!
And my month-long CSAUP comes to a close. Well done, Boitano. You’re a hell of a competitor! (and pretty sneaky)
My next #F3Q21 #2021Challenge Q is Excalibur on 4/1 (tomorrow) as I make up some of the Qs I shuffled for March Madness.
-Pigpen

QIC: Pigpen
PAX: Dusty, Forceps, Fumunga, Gizmo (FNG), Gump, Kubota, Pigpen, Pikachu, Rams
