17 PAX got stronger and faster today at U-Turn with Brexit’s 1 year anniversary at F3.
There was some chatter about the ‘Rebel Walk’ warm up implying PAX looked they all $hit themselves… This theme continued into prayer requests as Dauber asked for prayers that he could make it through mile one without having a bowel movement. His running mates were pleased he made it back for 2nd F without doing so. God answers prayers!

Arse Kickers, Rebel Walk, and Union Jacks.

PAX: 187, Axe, Banana Seat, Buford, Dumbo, Fonzie, LED, Lucky Charms, Moby, Pac-Man, POTS, Ramsey, Slide Rule, The Natural, Warbucks, Yogurt

16 PAX: Overheard during the workout: At STONES, we’re pushing this rock around the whole parking lot? and Wait ’til you get to 30 wonder bras. On INDIAN RUN, I’m confused! At STICKS, Yogurt, you gonna join us on this STICK exercise? And of course, at COT, continued trash talking about Slide Rule and Slack…

EC: 187, Axe, Banana Seat, LED, Warbucks, ChIPs

Warm Up: Mosey to amphitheater

SSH x25, GM x15, triceps stretches 10 sec per side, shoulder stretches 10 sec per side, dips x25

The Workout:

STONES: Mosey to “stone” pile and parking lot

Three laps, arm exercises with counts of 10, 20, 30 at each corners; finish lap with burpees x1, x2, x3

Lap 1: Bear crawl, pushing rock as you go (aka skidmark), arm exercise = 10, 20, 30 curls

Lap 2: Lunge walks with rock, arm exercises = 10, 20, 30 overhead presses

Lap 3: Run/walk with stone overhead, arm exercises = 10, 20, 30 wonder bras

SAND: “Modified Indian run.” Carry 40 lb sand bag as you advance to front of line. I didn’t fully think this on out, so there was lots of confusion. Eventually, I think everyone carried the “baby.” Next time, instead of passing the baby back down the line, the each PAX needs to advance to the front of the line, which pushes the PAX holding the baby to the back of the line. Then, the PAX holding the baby runs to the front. PAX advances one at a time past the baby, PAX with baby runs to front. Rinse and repeat.

STICKS: (firewood logs): Select log from Delilah (Blue Tacoma)

Burpees in “sevens,” carrying stick to top of parking lot, executing burpees, carry back down, execute burpees, rinse and repeat.

Warm Up: One lap jogging around the tennis court, SSH, Cotton-Pickers, Good AMs, Fazio Arm Circles, Windmills

The Workout: Waking up to the midterm election results gave Dauber an idea to introduce a civics lesson digging into our legislative branch. In honor of having 100 Senators and 435 Representatives, PAX got ready for a beat down that included 535 total reps. PAX paired up, one PAX grabbing a medium-sized Rock and began the following workout: 100 curls (PAX not curling, bear crawled half the distance of a parking lot); 100 rut-ros (PAX not curling, ran to the end of the parking lot); 100 triceps (PAX not curling ran around the tennis courts); 100 goblet squats (PAX not squatting, ran to the concession stand); 35 Burpees (PAX pushed a rock while bear-crawling half the distance of a parking lot). Time constraints got in the way of honoring our 100 Senators. However, nine additional burpees were perforformed OYO in honor of our Judicial branch (although one PAX suggested there were only five). PAX held plank until each set was completed.

Mary: PAX held Balls to the Walls in the tennis courts until all PAX returned their rocks. Circled up for Mary whereby each PAX performed a 10 rep core exercise that included: box cutters, pickle pounders, canoes, WW IIs, LBCs, pickle pounders, ankle biters, SSH, diamond merkins, blank-ups, low-slow flutters, American hammers, alphabet soup, capital vowels only X2, burpees, etc.

Announcements: Bottle share this weekend, see FB for location. HSHM preparation and call for support.

Well this one could have turned out several ways. Walked outside this morning to a breezy post rain dark morning. Great, I think this is gonna be windy. Loaded up the Tailwind for 187 and I, checked that the camelback was sealed, and hopped in the truck. Arrived at Ting to a great group of men waiting for a pleasant level of excitement. As 187 grabbed the goods, the joy of calories diminished when he realized he forgot his camelback at home. Shovel flags planted.

Warm Up: Short job, IW, Hillbillies, High Knees, Frankensteins
The Workout: Run the HSHM course. – Lipstick had to shit <1 mile into the run. Ice cream will do that to a lactose intolerant person. Somehow H1N1, R22, and Farva ended up on crossway, Yellow card needed a pee break, M4L just ran where ever. Despite the situations, this is one crazy fast group of men. Honored to run with you. I’ve added men that ran U-Turn, started early, or ran lifetime. Let me know if I forgot you.
