Neighbors New and Old

/in /by

I texted ahead to Flanigan the night before.  I didn’t want to just assume that I had the Q, not sure if one of the regulars had called dibs.  He said it was all mine.

I parked in the lot a little earlier than I might have normally.  I’m the Q, I had to cross the U-Turns, I wasnt sure if we still “planted the flag” in the same place (I forgot to ask).

Also a little early, Flanigan arrived by bike and parked in the school’s bike stand.  Cornholio, Blue Hen, and Shooting Blanks followed.  Shooting Blanks caught my tag from the night before as he was headed to Purple Cobra, came to meet some of his new neighors instead.  He was going to be late to Purple Cobra anyway 😀

It was great to see the Nutcracker Q and catch up a bit as we went throught the workout.  Awsome time PAX!

 

Warm Up: 

  • good mornings, windmills, fazios fwd and back, franks

STANDARDS for AO’s (Even UFO)

/in /by

FNG: Doogie!  Welcome

Warm-up: 5:15am sharp (SSH, Good Mornings, WMH, SFAC)

About the time we were doing GM’s and WMH…over 10 PAX were walking into the Warm-up circle.  YHC noticed a lack of urgency for being late.  We continued with the Mission Statement (3 burpee penalty) Tried again with the Mission Statement (3 burpee penalty). Core values 100% (no penalty) About this time based on the honor system of those that walked up late we did a raise of hands and counted by 5 per person late. Late to ME Burpee penalty administered by Q = 55.  Total Burpee Penalty for Standard infraction = 61. (Could be a horrible F3 record to keep)

Hence the PAX were warmed up for a 4 team split.  3 Merkins on the drop and 2 squats on the drop.  2 point scored if inside the goalie box. Lots of great catches, throws, hustle and knockdowns across the board!

Announcements: Q’em all challenge (QAC), Ruck sack for sale to raise money for QAC, Memorial Day Murph (Banana Seat), If your late to an AO…don’t walk.

T-Clapps:

Prayer: Family lost son in car accident (Breach) and strangers need prayer as all humans are dealing with fear and loss.

The Good 😊 and The Bad 😞 at R4TJ

/in , /by

R4TJ was full of surprises this morning – some good and some bad

@Downrange recruited for EC and nabbed YHC and @Sardine for 3 miles :neutral_face:

On the backside of EC we saw @Wild Turkey driving towards Ting :blush:

We also ran past @Yogurt on his solo slushie birthday EC :smiley: :birthday:

@Sardine had to boogie early so we missed him for ME 😥

When arrived at Ting @batboy was there! :blush:

We realized no one had joined for a Ruck or a 3 mile run :sob:

After running EC, YHC realized his 6+ mile route may have been a bad idea :face_with_diagonal_mouth:

We passed @Emeril running near his CrossFit gym :smiley:

YHC called an audible to reduce his 6+ mile route to a 5 mile route :face_exhaling: 😥
The PAX all decided to support me and come along on the shorter route :smiley::fist-bump:

YHC initiated a conversation about a podcast involving “Unauthorized Evacs” :poop1:

@Downrange @Wild Turkey @batboy and @U.T.I. completed the modified ME :partying_face:

Basketball Dropouts

/in /by

FNGs:none

Warm Up: good mornings, ssh, willy mays hays, sir fazio, overhead claps, squats

The Workout:

We moseyed over to the ramp at Ting. Started with 10 wwi, 10 wwii and 10 in cadence low slow flutter.

Ramp sprint at 50%
10 dips / 10 urkins / 10 durkins

Run down the ramp

20 wwi / 20 wwii / 20 slow slow flutter

Ramp sprint at 50%
20 dips / 20 urkins / 20 durkins

run down the ramp

The original plan was knockout or a small pax v pax but with only 3 pax including the Q we switched to a few games of HORSE with each PAX calling out a penalty exercise. We quickly realized our basketball skills need improvement.

Mary: light stretching

Playing Possum at Possum Trot… I hope…

/in , /by

As I arrived at the scene this morning.  I quickly turned in between Abacus and LEDs vehicles taking up two spots.  Abacus quickly called me on it but I returned “When in Fuquay!  Don’t worry, I’ll just tuck a plastic bag in the window :D”  Once the sparring settled, we noticed a lonely black bag laying in the parking lot beyond our cars.  It appeared long and slender, like a body???  Also, not uncommon for Fuquay…  AM I RIGHT!?!?!  😀  Don’t worry, LED confidently went up to the bag and determined it was just a gearbag left behind by a town baseball team.

 

Warm Up: 

  • good mornings, windmills, daisy pickers, willie mays haze, SSH

The Workout:

THANG 1

Paired up with 2 sets of partners.  LED and I ran one direction / Breach and Abacus ran the other.  We met at the other side of the tennis courts for Patty Cake Merkins.  Once complete we continued in the same direction and met at the other side.  Breach and Abacus always seemed to get a little further each time so they were booking it to prove something.  LED and I were happy to let them.

  • 3-4 laps with Patty Cake Merkins
  • 3-4 laps with Patty Cake WWIIs

THANG 2

Line up facing the big grassy hill about 10 or so parking spaces from the base of the hill.  This wasnt very scientific so the number of parking spaces may have been more or less.  For this THANG the object was to travel to the hill by differnet means, stopping for some kind of workout in between.  Once at the hill, bear crawl up, hang out for some dips, then crawl bear back down, then job backwards to reset at the starting line.

  • Lunge Walks, 5 Merkins at each line
  • Frog Jumps, 10 squats at every other line
  • Reverse Lunge Walks, 10 wide grip merkins at every other line
  • <INSERT TRAVEL METHOD HERE>, WWIs at every other line
    • I forgot what the other travel method I chose was… there was another but my memory sucks sometimes.
  • Sprint to the hill bear crawl up as fast as possible
    • LED took the win with a little extra running up the hill and a leg pull on Breach 😀

Paradise City Throwback

/in , /by

Warm Up: 

  • good mornings, windmills, sir fazios, goofballs, SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies

The Workout:

YHC went looking for inspriation for a Paradise City workout.  I love digging through BackBlast to see what’s been done before to inform what I’ll do.  It just makes planning a little easier.  I could just ask AI to make me a workout, but there is something about knowing who ran the workout I’m borrowing and when did they run it.  Just feels a little nostalgic and fun.  This one comes from Deadbolt circa 2021 “Spartan 500”

Keep writing backblasts.  You never know who they might inspire to show-up or make leading a workout a little easier.

Our workout today is explained in this picture.  Looking back again at Deadbolts BB, I think the intention was to do all 50 reps at each corner with the goal to move fast enough to complete 10 laps before the end of the workout.

I modified and had us do Merkins in the first lap with 10 at each corner.  With each subsequent exercise replacing the last one through the list.  Deadbolt also prescribed a team-based model.  I opted to keep everyone together.  It was perfect for us in terms of time and it allowed me to keep my pre-blast promises to stay under the former standard of 3 miles.

Rock-A-Billy Luck of the Draw at Crazy Ivan

/in , /by

Warm Up: 

  • yogging, good mornings, windmills, sir fazios

The Workout:

Go around the Circle drawing cards from a mishmash of decks I’ve accumulated for workouts.  Not sure if I have ’em all or how many I have.  I dont actually remember the workouts assigned to each suit so this backblast is representative of the Winky I placed on the ground next to the deck.  As a suit is repeated, switch to the alternate workout assigned to each suit.

♠️ Swings \ Around the World
♥️ Rows \ Thrusters
♣️ Goblet Squats \ Figure 8s
♦️ Tricep Extensions \ Overhead Press
🤡 5 Burpees!!!
