PAX: , , , , , , ,

It was a week of transitions for F3 AOs and Thunder was the latest as Pikachu and Buttjoint turned the AO over to Crosby and John Deere. It won’t get easier, you’ll just get stronger. 8 men posted to send Buttjoint out in style and Buttjoint delivered. Now if he could post in the gloom again. If you’ve never posted at Thunder give it a shot. Love how this workout has a completely different feel compared to the gloom.

Warm Up: Mosey from the tennis court to the open field. SSH, 10 burpees, IW, 9 burpees, Fozio arm circles, 8 burpees, Chanooks, 7 burpees, merkins, 6 burpees, something else, 5 burpees

The Workout: Mosey around the baseball field to the back side. Partner up and broken wheel barrow along the side walk to the baseball statue guy. Switch partner and finish at the concession stand. Three sets alternating balls to the wall and preacher chair.

Mosey to the playground. Stay with partner. One partner doing pull ups and the other doing box jumps. Group did 50 pull ups combined. Group was joined by skidmark’s 2.0 for some box jumps and skidmark completed a round of box jumps holding a baby doll at his daughter’s request.

Mosey to tennis courts. Stay with partner. One partner is doing suicides and the other is doing Al Gore Tree Huggers. Rinse and Repeat.

Mary: I’m pretty sure there were some diamond merkins in here somewhere. 3 count around the circle under the pavillion as we were kicked off the court due to lightning. Not because we placed our balls on the fence or that there was a giant sign that said courts closed.

Announcements: The Odyssey 10/20/18 CSAUP in Apex. Shredder doing self defense class at North State Sport and Spine. Beer Mile 10/13 at CBC. UTI looking for runners for Tuna Run

Pax of 5 gathered on a very stormy evening. The rain mostly cleared up in time for our 7am start and we were off – we crossed the street and setup the lower grass field for some 2 v 2 (with a full time offense player) ultimate.

PAX: , , , , , , ,

An intimate group of 8 converged under thunder and lightning for the weekly beatdown. As promised very little running.

Warm Up: Mosey to the rock pile to gather a rock of choice. Some heavier than others. Due to the minor probability of getting struck by lightning, the pax reconvened under the shelter. 25 SSH, 15 Cotton pickers, fozio arm circles forward and reverse, and hillbillies
The Workout: Rotated through 4 exercises all with rocks: Presses, Rows, Squats, WWII’s using a full deck of cards. 4 jokers randomly paced in the deck signified a shift around the circle to another rock.

Burpee bullring: One pax calls out another with a race to 5 Burpees. Loser runs to the flags. Pax around the outside doing SSH.

Bear crawl drag race: Partner up by ability and bear crawl drag race to the end of the pavilion. Loser does 10 merkins. Next round winner vs. winner and loser vs. loser with 15 merkins to the loser. Last 2 undefeated racers faced each other for bear crawl drag racing champion and loser doing 20 merkins. Losers bracket also paired up so each pack got three passes. Congrats to Earl Grey the bear crawl champ. Holding plank as you waited your turn.

YHC means what?

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

YHC had the Q but first had to explain what YHC meant (it was in the pre-blast – it means Your Humble Coordinator). Who knows, if the 12 pax knew Pikachu had the Q maybe they wouldn’t have shown up (or maybe more would have??)

 

No FNGs in the 90 degree inferno, so we were off.

 

Warm Up:

SSH x15

Standard Merkin x10

Good mornings x15

Fazio arm circles x10 forward/backward

Arm stretches (across chest and over head)

The Workout:

Mosey past the pond to the hand rails/grassy area

Partner up – 1 Pax does 10 upright rows, other does 10 deep squats. Switch and repeat, then do the entire thing again (so each exercise twice total).

Mosey through grass to start of cement near baseball center.

Wheel barrel with partner back to the greenway path, switching half way

Crab walk back to the middle cement, switching directions half way

Mosey to the other side of the central building – pax lined up on their six with feet pointing the same direction at 45 degrees for Gitmo. First pax ran down the line pushing down feet and then lining up at the end, we went through twice each.

Mosey back to the middle building for people’s chair/balls to the wall in a 1:3 ratio, starting at 5:15 IC and going down to 2:6, finishing with 10IC:30 counted straight.

Mosey over to the tennis courts for bear crawl/crawl bear suicides, stopping at one court width and then at the end.

Ultimate Beatdown at Thunder

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

15 Pax gathered in mostly reasonable temperatures for another of the ever popular Ultimate frisbee workouts. Two FNGs were present so disclaimers were read and we mosey’d to the turf fields where YHC had already setup a playing field.

Warm up:

10x SSH IC

10x Daisy Picker IC

20x Diamond Merkin – YHC said these would be the last of the merkins for the day, but he was wrong.

 

The thing:

We divided into teams – red/black shirts vs the skittles (all other colors). The dropped disc penalty was established as 1 Turkish Getup, with the scoring team calling a workout to be done x10 (either reps or IC). Scoring exercises were all over the place but there were multiple rounds of burpees, merkins, jump squats and star jumps.

 

40 minutes of play blew by and we wrapped up with some quick left over right/right over left hamstring stretches. Deadbolt even joined us as a surprise guest at CoT.

 

Announcements:

4th of July Convergence

No Thunder on 4th of July
