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! đŸ‡ș🇾

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)

Tiger Blood 1st 90 Minute Bootcamp 5/6/21

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

YHC has had a vision for a while of bringing a once a month 90 minute high intensity bootcamp to the Southwake region.  It seemed fitting to make it Tiger Blood after I took over as manager.  The first Thursday of each month will be 0500-0630, remaining Thursdays will stay at 0515-0615.

FNGs: Not today
Warm Up: 1 mile mosey to womble upper lot for warmups
The Workout: First we stopped at womble soccer field and paired up. Pairs took off in opposite directions around the soccer field. When they met, 10 Patty Cake Merkins or (20 total) We circled 4 full times, with a total of 160 merkins.  Next we mosey to cemetery hill for rounds with tyson. 7’s on the hill with Star Jumps, last round was Burpees.
Mary: Mosey back to Tiger Blood HRMS for stretching   7+ miles completed along the way

FNGs: Not today
Warm Up: Mosey to a wall for BTW and a count off of PAX… It took us about 6 times to actually get a count off. The precedence was set for a chatty workout with nobody listening to YHC.  We began to mosey to other side of lot for SSH x15. PAX was surprised by the x15 on SSH, as YHC is known for his x50 or even x100 to begin workouts.  YHC threw a curveball on the SSH, as he called them again, but this time as 21’s.  Q calls out 2 count SSH for the first 1-5 and then 6-21 are silent. If the PAX don’t finish all at the same time in cadence on 21, repeato….Lets just say we repeated quite a few times.  We even had some OYO Peeping Lipsticks when the PAX struck out 3x for not being quiet.   We continued the mosey to another lot and did more warmups.

The Workout: Partner up and suicides across lot with peeping lipsticks.  6 suicide stops- Pax 1 goes to first and back while Pax 2 does peeping lipsticks, rotate partners after each suicide stop, until we got to the end.  Pax had a hard time understanding and also questioned the legitimacy of a peeping lipstick (turkesh getup with a star jump)  It’s in the exicon!   Next we mosey to the bus stop where YHC had coupon pain stations setup.  Partner 1 worked with coupon while partner 2 ran out and back. Switch roles and then switch stations as we rotated through 7 stations.  Stations as followed: Merkin Jack Webb with Cinderblock (2 stations) Weighted jump rope, grave diggers with 20lb mace, death march with 10lb mace, kettlebell swings 35lb, kettlebell tricep extensions 15lb. Closed out with 21s again to test our progress. It only took 3 times to nail it, Pots even turned his back to the Pax!
Mary:  Mary caught the bus and we kept the heartrate up until the end!
Announcements: June 26th Picnic at Harris Lake, Families invited, Emeril is smoking 32 Pork Butts
