05:52 Fast Pass Confirmed

/in /by

Well, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve had the chance to return to AO’s. I’ll spare the details, but it felt good to be back in the middle and at my second home, DISNEY! Great numbers today that braved some ball clenching cold. I think we all warmed up relatively quickly…. Tetanus brought an FNG and I had a disclaimer chat with him privately before we headed out… LET’S GO!

FNGs: Welcome Tush!
Warm Up:  Quick mosey around the PL return to circle up. SSH x50 w/ 2 sets of 10 at double time IC, Frankenstein x10, Windmill x10, OHC x10, Seal Claps x10, Pakistani Night Clubs (for M4L), Chinook x10 Fwd/Back, Arm circles R/L Fwd/Bck x10.
The Workout: Nice and easy mosey out of the lot to the elementary school PL. Circle up, Jack Webs x25, Standard Merkin x25.  Continue the mosey around to the circle by the football field entrance. Arms out as 6 rolls in and hold. OHC x15, Moroccan Night Club x15 , Al Gore w/ around the horn counts from 5 PAX w/ 10 count.  Continue the mosey in the big HS PL – Hand Release Burpees x10.

Mosey to the Abyss to punch our 05:52 Fast Pass – RIGHT ON TIME… 20 of us found accountability partners for a DORA. 100 Jack Webbs, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s (IC to start, last trip up and down was single counts). Kicker was that partner 1 wasn’t just walking down and back up – but bear crawl down and up the stairs (thank you to 187 who did this about a year ago and I’ve done once since).  We made 2 solid trips bear crawling and 1 as a walk up/down.  Watching the clock, time for Mary.

Mary: Squat Hold for the 6. Big Boy Sit Ups x25, Homer to Marge 10 (+ L leg, R leg), Box Cutters x20. Have a nice day.
Announcements: Welcome FNG Tush!
T-Claps (Recognition): Nemo and ShamWow! for running EC. Emeril for the monthly challenge EC.
Prayer: For our country.  Breach took us out.

Not my A Game

/in /by

A down week in running allowed YHC to become a little more involved in the bootcamp scene that has been so badly missed so what better way to get back at than picking up a couple Qs. Been a while since I’ve been down in the Quay so figured I make the trip to PT. Researched some previous backblasts and noticed there hadn’t been a tour of Varina in a while. Unfortunately my memory left me and some of the locations were not what I remembered. Regardless it was nice to see a good turnout this brisk winter morning.

EC: Pikachu from home, Skidmark

FNGs: None
Warm Up: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Moroccan Nightclubs, Overhead claps, Seal claps, Good mornings
The Workout: 3 Indian Run lines mosey to the flag pole. The initial plan was for 21’s of WWIIs and Box jumps but the wall was higher than I thought and none of us earned an Olympic Medal in the high jump so we settled for step ups which ended up being quite time consuming. (modified)
Mosey to the giant wall for Preacher chair and then Ascending Testicles with merkins. Rumor was all Flex spending accounts were emptied and dental deductables not met so modified the testicles to Balls to the Wall after 1 set. 2 more sets of Preacher chair and BTTW.
Mosey to the home of the FV Democratic Party Headquarters or as many of us care to call it: Stephen’s Hardware. Jump up the rail for some side plank walks I guess. Quick feet as we wait for the 6.
Mosey to Aviator. Bear Crawl up the ramp as smell BBQ. Repeat.
Mosey the walk through wall for a set of dips, erkins, and derkins.
Mosey back to the park for 4 sets of Big Bang (reference exicon here).
Mary: 7 minutes in heaven. Yes, we did plank hold with various core exercises.
Announcements: 2ndF at Stick Boy, GrowRuck, GrowRuck light, heavy something. See Pablo for details. Monthly challenge
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: Deadbolt hasn’t been feeling well. Hoping 2021 is better for most. YHC took us out

DB and M4L 2020-21 Reunion tour kickoff

/in , /by

I love Disney.  It’s always been one of my favorite AOs.  I remember the beta opening and Co-Site Qing it with Kid Cracker.  So much to do, well lit, away from homes and no cars.   🙂  So that’s why this morning, M4L and I decided to leave those grounds and head for a dimly lit, residential street with more cars that I counted on!

We wanted to bring back an old favorite – the Jamison Park hill.  Jamison Park was the original 12 Oaks (look it up) and it was great to see 7+ pax from the 12 Oaks hood make the journey to the east side for our Beat Down.

I planted the Shovel Flag on this 35 degree, cold, damp, foggy morning as 25 #HIM showed up in various clown cars.

FNGs: None

Warm Up: At 5:30 on the dot – we were off.

  • Mosey out of the soccer field parking lot and head to Middle Creek High School.
  • Stop at first intersection – Merkins x 20
  • Hand Release Merkins x 20
  • Mosey to end of road near Jamison Park entrance
  • I forgot what we did
  • Quick disclaimer to use your inside voices and we entered Jamison Park

The Workout:

Thang 1:  Pakistani Dora

  • Gather at the bottom of that big ass hill (At Jamison Park Drive and Wesley Ridge)
  • Partner up for Pakistani Dora – one partner runs hill – other partner does reps with cumulative counts
    • Turkish Get up x 100 (audible to 75)
    • LBC x 200
    • Squats x 300
  • It sucked but great effort
  • Even great effort by the White Accord that was paralyzed for several minutes by the sheer amount of man candy beside her car

 

Thang 2:  The 7-11

to celebrate M4L’s first job in America – we moseyed to the half pipe for a round of 7-11s

  • In the half pipe – do a set of 7s with Squats one one side – Star Jumps on the other side (6-1, 5-2, 4-3, 3-4, 2-5, 1-6)
  • When you cross in the middle at the bottom – do 11 merkins (every time)

Jail break to flag

Mary:

Bondo will be turning double Respect on Saturday so he led us in Mary

  • Side plank dips
  • Pickle Punders

Announcements:

  • Social tonight at bombshell – HIM only – so M or 2.0

Prayer:

  • Peakweek co-worker

Shit’s Creek

/in , /by

Taper week is upon us for the HSHM so the EC crowd was light but PC held true with its very typical 11-14 pax every week. It had been a few weeks since YHC had visited the tunnel at PC. Can’t remember the last time we went down there but today was as good as day as any, especially since it hadn’t rained in a few days, reducing the chances of a hepatitis outbreak.

EC: Pikachu, Full House, Skidmark

FNGs: None
Warm Up: 2 groups of Indian Run for one loop around the complex with stops for IW, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm circles, and Good mornings. YHC is such as nice guy that he only made Pax do SSH for the late Pax (shall remain nameless).

The Workout: Mosey to the tunnel. All the way to far end of the Greenway to nowhere is appox 1/4 mile. Set the pace at 2:30 for Pax to get out and back and complete merkins until the 2:30 was up. Next time out and back at 2:25 and do squats. 3rd time 2:20 LBC, last round 2:15 and preachers chair. Most Pax completed but one ventured out into the woods to pinch one off. You know the guy that disappears every workout about 1.5 miles in.
Next part of the workout was a Partner Dora will 100 Big Boy situps, 200 merkins, 300 squats. Moseyed to the other end of the tunnel to run the short side. As we approached that side of the tunnel it was clear where Lipstick took his morning squat. Never in all my travels, through tunnels, public restrooms, bus stations, subway stati9ns, and mountain outhouses have I smelled what I whiffed on the other side of that tunnel. Quicker than an 8-0 Ben Roethlisberger audible we ran as fast as we could back to the other side of the tunnel. The new running portion would now be up to the little greenway to the road and back down.
Finished off as a group with 2 rounds of Balls to the Wall and Preacher Chairs before the mosey back to the court.

Mary: Mountain Climbers, Pickle Pounders, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters, Homer to Marge, Have a nice day

Announcements: HSHM run this weekend. 0700 hard start with coffee in the lot. Dawgpound is planning a Christmas Party, Breach is giving a TED talk next week

T-Claps (Recognition):

Prayer: Davis is having surgery today.

Dumbo the new Quiver

/in /by

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Bounce, Jog, Bounce some more, Jog, Active Stretching
The Workout: Lots of chatter this morning.  Felt  like CarPex.   So we did some burpees to quiet the PAX.  Into the workout.

 

4 rounds, 5 exercises, 40 seconds on/20 seconds off.

Clean Series
Z-Press
Waterfall Pullover
Switch Squats
Bow Draw

Last round instead of the 20 second break between sets we did burpees.
Typically Quiver is pretty chatty at the Caveman workout. With Quiver a no show Dumbo took it upon himself to chat away.  The PAX did burpees during stretching, cool down, Mary as penance for his sins.

Mary:  Bunch of steel mace exercises and then 6 minute abs
Announcements: HSHM, Kettlebell challenge in Dec.
T-Claps (Recognition): TClaps to MoTown for doing his first workout yesterday and then coming today (from Apex) for EC + ME.  TClaps to M4L for sheparding him.
