Nice pot of Gumbo at Sheepdog

/in /by

FNGs: N/a
Warm Up: Mosey around the parking lot and circled up for side straddle hops, fozzy arm circles forward and reverse, good mornings, daisy pickers, imperial walkers, and hillbillies
The Workout: Took the Q last minute and decided to do some greatest hits around the AO.
Started with field of dreams: home plate was 10 burpees, 1st base was mountain climbers, 2nd base was WW1’s, and 3rd base was plank jacks.

Then moved on to the 12 days of F3 for: 12 Australian ass smacks, 11 wing chun combos, 10 10 count jump rope, 9 Scorpion dry docks, 8 stars a jumping, 7 Side hop moguls (in cadence), 6 boats a rowing (in cadence), 5 CRAAB CAAAAKES  (in cadence), 4 T-Stand kicks (in cadence), 3 prisoner squats, 2 box cutters, and Give me one man maker burpee.

Mosey around the side of the school and stop for 11’s of monkey humpers and goofballs

Continue to mosey to the back for a 3 minute AMRAP of 10 single leg squats, 20 hand release merkins, and 30 squat jumps. Take a lap around the track then head over to the circle.

Bear crawl Ring of Fu – we all Bear crawled around the circle, each pax called out a number and on their up we did that many wing chun strike combos.

Shredder finished us off with combatives, focusing on rooting and form for wing chun strikes.

Thanks as always for allowing me to lead and make sure to fill up that Q sheet before Thursday!

Isn’t that a dead end…wrong there’s a hill

/in /by

Q sheet was empty so FML decided to take a leap and Q the workout since we needed most of us only needed 5 miles this morning while following the training plan. YHC was excited to catch up with Mookie who was like BOOM!! when the Q sheet slot filled. Unfortunately there are sometimes more pressing issues like late nights with the family, illnesses, hangovers, or sometimes the fartsack just wins baby. I’m not going to speculate as I believe the sleeping in was needed. Next time Mookie, next time.

FML rolls in style. We promised 2nd trunk coffee complete with all the fixins in a picnic basket. No donuts or fritters, sorry.

YHC rolled up early to set up coffee and there was only 1 EC, Vaseline, who for 2 days in a row drove to the workout. Congrats on the PR.

Route was secret until time to post but I promised hills and we’d keep our feet dry. Minus the sweat, they stayed dry. We started with 11 but finished with 12. See how that works, you can come back with more, but never less.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Leg swings side to side and front to back, tiger claws, and some hip opening things
The Workout: The route went like this: Down Stinson and across Bass Lake Rd, into Sunset Ridge. Turn R at the first road and continue staying right until Sunset Walk, Sunset Walk to Gable Ridge, Turn R on Gable Ridge to Linksland. Turn R on Linksland. Follow Linksland to the end where some thought this was a dead end but it actually meets up with Salem Ridge again. Turn Left on Salem Ridge and loop back up to Linksland. Turn Right on Linksland. Follow Linksland past the driving range and pool and turn L on Gable Ridge. Follow Gable Ridge and turn R on Sunset Walk. From here follow the route back to Womble. At the peak of every hill we picked up the 6: Stinson, Sunset Walk, Linksland and Gable Ridge, Salem Ridge and Linksland, Linksland and Gable Ridge (after pool), Sunset Walk, Stinson at Womble.
Mary: Some stretching OYO
Announcements: mulch
