9×9=81 (Not today)

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

YHC pre-blasted and threw out 9×9=81 and several Pax have asked what that meant for Tiger Blood. In my mind it means 9 miles at 9 minute pace = 81 minutes with a 9 minute Yoga/stretch session. We did not achieve this today but it was not for lack of effort. Lots of guys accelerating. T-claps to a bunch of Pax this morning.

FNGs: Probably not the best day to FNG
Warm Up: Hell Naw!
The Workout: Indian run stack up and down BOMBS. When Q got to the front do the exercises. 5 burpees, 10 overhead claps, 15 merkins, 20 Big Boy situps, 25 Squats. Finished exactly at Womble.
There are 11 light posts from the lower parking lot to Grigsby/Stinson. 2 man weave suicides with ascending Big Boy situps at each light post and 8 hand release merkin with a one arm reach at the lower lot. indian/fellowship run back to start.

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

19 PAX, including 10 who are in hot pursuit of the coveted fritter, posted at Possum Trot for a beatdown delivered by the Fritter Foundation.

Fritter Quitters: None

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Lap around the tennis courts; circled up for SSH, IW, HB, Fazio arm circles, good mornings; I had to throw in some burpees to calm the mumble chatter

The Workout: PAX moseyed to the tennis court and lined up on one end. PAX were instructed to travel the width of the 4 tennis courts by broad jump, 5 star jumps, broad jump, 5 prisoner squats, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and squat-hold for the 6.  PAX then traveled back to the start across the 4 courts with the Obama (named after the 44th president) 4 steps in bear crawl followed by 4 merkins, wash-rinse-repeat until you reach the other side and plank-hold for the 6.  PAX loved these so much, we decided to do it again but had to limit each to the halfway mark to save on time.  Once complete, PAX traveled to the concession stand via Indian run for more fun.  Half the pax held BTTW, while the other pax did an exercise, then switch.  (exercises were 1:step ups x10 each leg, 2:bulgarian squats x5 each leg, 3:Erkins-Derkins-Dips x5 each).  Half the pax then held People’s chair while the other half did exercises, then switch. (exercises were 1:American Hammer, 2:Mountain Climbers).  PAX then indian ran back to the courts for Mary.

Mary: Plank-O-Rama until time

Announcements: Picnic- check slack

Day 2 of the Fritter Challenge and YHC had your Q.   10 guys started Day 1 yesterday and the same 10 guys showed up for EC.   @Pikachu, @187 and @Skidmark took off a little early to get in 3.   @Breach, @Dumbo, @Cupid, @Pablo, @Dawgpound, @Emeril, and a late arriving @Lipstick got in our 2 miles.  @Redenbacher and @Full House joined the 2 mile group and @Beer Pressure showed up for the Main Event.   YHC was wondering why @Full House missed Paradise City yesterday and found out that Pickle Tickle won out hence his Fartsack.

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Jog around the track with stops for SSH, Good Mornings, Booty Bops, Foot Trace.  YHC explained the concept of the workout before we started but in hindsight probably could have run through a couple of rounds before he sent everyone off in their pairs.  Some mass confusion at the start but everyone eventually got on board.

Both Partners perform KB Exercise.  One partner then jogs to midpoint of the track while the other partner carries both KB’s.   At center track is a list of Core exercises.  Partner 1 performs the Core exercise until Partner 2 shows up.  Partner 1 then takes the Bells while Partner 2 performs the core exercise.  Stops once Partner 1 gets to the Maces.  Partner 2 then jogs to the Maces and they perform the Mace exercise together.D o same KB carry back to mid- track and get back to the KB exercises.  Keep repeating until done.

Start at the bottom of the ramp with burpees, Indian run to the top of the ramp 10 merkins and then back to the bottom for 5 burpees. The next round you run to the second spot and stop at the first on the way back. You always run the farthest and then hit all the stations on the way back.
