Early 4 Year at Disney

/in /by

My 4 year would be the Memorial Day Murph, but out of town plans led me to ask Dawgpound if I could take the Q from him at Disney for an early celebration. This was just before the challenge and I appreciate he gave up a coveted Q spot late in the month, and was pleased to see he picked up a different AO this morning. It was an honor to lead, was pleased to see such a great turnout, and what better place than Disney for me to celebrate. I am a proud Disney site Q alum. Preblast promised nothing fancy, just moving around and putting in the work, with a guarantee of a good tour.

FNGs: None today, so no bonus point awarded
Warm Up: Quick jog around lot, circled up for Good Mornings, Daisy Pickers, Windmills, Imp Walkers, Hillbillies and had to throw in Goofballs for good measure. 5 burpees OYO too.
The Workout: Jog around back of fields and down the hill to the road, circled up for a couple sets alternating SSH ICx20 and a shoulder burn (arms out, fazio front, arms out, fazio reverse, arms out, seal claps, arms out, overhead claps, arms out, recover). On the jog back to entrance and grabbed a low pole for alternating deep tempo dips ICx10 and tempo merkins ICx10. Did this 4 times. On the jog to the lower lot, each man on a line, dropped to plank hold, shoulder taps, plank hold, nipplers, chill cut, merkins, plank hold, recover. Did this 2 time. On the jog to back corner of building for alternating low slow flutters ICx20, 15 and 10, with the other half holding BTTW, so 3x on the wall for each of us. On the jog to big lot lined up in groups of 4 for a bear crawl Indian Run. PAX hold plank while man in back bear crawls to front. Each man did 4 bear crawls. 10 quick merkins to burn out and then on the jog to The Abyss for 2 rounds with LBC up top and Star Jumps at bottom. On the jog back to flag.
Mary: Not much time so heel taps ICx22 and LBC ICx2
Announcements: Cletus 7 year anny celebration with Deadbolt on Q, wear red Fri, ZERO excuses and support Breach raising money for Travis Manion Foundation – let’s go big tomorrow for this.
T-Claps (Recognition): from me to all of you for the experiences over the past 4 years, and for putting in the effort start to finish today – might not seem like we did all that much but when you think about it we did not stop working the whole time
Prayer: 16-Bit mother-in-law, those impacted by the shooting in San Diego. As leaders in all we do, let’s be mindful of looking out for others especially when it comes to mental well being. YHC took us out

/in /by

FNGs: Welcome FNG Huffy – UTI let it be known that he brought Huffy and was claiming the point, thanks UTI

The Workout: 9 PAX out for a 3 miler, one rucker and 9 PAX out for little over 5.  McNugget did his best Lipstick impression, first being denied entry to the bathrooms in 12 Oaks, only to drop his deuce somewhere off Green Oaks Parkway, I’m sure the furry woodland creatures are enjoying the smell.  Great work by all today, beautiful morning for a mosey.
Announcements: Shredder is leading the Memorial Day Murph at Womble, check out slack for more details.  We are also raising money the HSPD to equip 24 squad cars with a pretty sweet First Aid kit, which budgets don’t cover for them…a worthy cause.  Bring some cashish or use the ol’ Venmo for donations.

Dirty Dozen at Prison Yard Thinking About Stirrups

/in /by

FNGs: No, but welcome back kotter, Tim (Hoege?) a.k.a. Cream of Corn (originally from NE, named in SW 4 yrs ago)
Warm Up:  Many PAX got their point and ran for two miles (~20 mins).  Dumbo missed us at 5:05 am and ran on his own; I overhead him saying waiting in the driveway for Pablo who never came out.  Hope Pablo is OK.  Circled up for the following exercises:  good am, SSH, daisy Pickers, Sir Fazios, seal claps, o/h claps, Mike Phelps…
The Workout:  The warden brought many dumbbells ranging in weight from 15 lbs to 50 lbs.  An index card with a few exercises were written down as a suggestion (implied 10 reps) and dumbbells were spread out over the parking lot.  A 20 lb stretchy thing was added, as well as a cinder block and jump rope.  See pic for details of exercises.  The time keeper was  the 50 lb dumbbell.  Note this 50 pounder was either carried by itself or farmer’s carry (Two 50 lb dumbbells).  Some brave PAX tried the farmer’s carry including Warbucks, Cupid, Shredder…(apologies if I left out anyone).  PAX had to carry the 50 lb dumbbell around the parking lot.  While this was going on, PAX cranked out their respective exercises with their specific weight/tool/coupon.  If no tools were available, PAX were instructed to do core exercises.
Mary:  Circled up for 6 inches, box cutters, and static stretches that included some work on the groin area.  Lots of mumble chatter about stirrups.  It was quite the visual.  Cream of Corn may not come back for another four years.
Announcements:  JOCO CSAUP. Murph on Memorial Day, Bed builds, 5Ks coming up…
T-Claps (Recognition):  PAX showing great effort today especially with the farmer’s carry
Prayer:  Dumbo took us out – thank you!  Prayers for an infant born too early who gave joy to his family for a handful of weeks…..automatically gone to heaven; UNSPOKEN
Thanks PAX for helping me load/unload my car this am.

Honored to lead (Forgot to say the Pledge of Allegiance – thinking about the stirrups I guess).  -Dauber

 

The elusive albino deer

/in /by

FNGs: none
Warm Up: SSH, IW, DP’s, Good morning
The Workout: 4 ruckers  + a 2.0 took off for a 3 mile route and some weight based walking.  23 ran 5+ through the Springs this am, with a trip up Elm and a short jaunt on Johnson.  A late pick up of Vasoline and a new route finally gave him the spotting of the elusive albino deer.  Now the real question must be answered…what’s Vasoline searching for now?  An albino racoon, possum, beaver?  Nice work today gents!
Announcements: Still time to get in on the May event, see Fanny Pack for more details…must have 4 PAX to enter.  Yogurt starting some new trail running, catch up with him for more details
Prayer: unspoken today

Building B.O.M.B.S on the Abyss

/in /by

A balmy morning at the Happiest AO on Earth. YHC wasn’t sure to expect with only 1 HC (U.T.I) and 1 other EC’er (Emeril). So to my surprise after getting back from EC…the whole Fritter Foundation and a huge clown car of 12 Oaksers pulled in! 17 Men gathered at Disney to take a ride to the dark corner known as “the Abyss”. I love this place!

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: SSH x40, Good Morning x a lot, 10 Burpees OYO, Windmills x 10, Sir Fazio’s x 12 (F/R)

We then moseyed over to the high school where a couple of divergent hills lay before us. At the meeting point of said hills, we did Shoulder Taps IC x10, and Hand Release-Release Merkins x 10 IC. We then used the same partner groups to run to the top of each hill, return, and meet in the middle where we did Shoulder Taps x10 IC as a team for round 1, then did the Hand Release-Release Merkins x 10.

3 Indian run lines back to the flag for Mary. Lot’s of picking up the 6…great work men!

Not Plenty of Stretching

/in /by

I haven’t even been to Captain Caveman for about 6 weeks, so this would be a challenge for YHC to cook up a solid workout as a 1st time Caveman Q for the PAX this morning. Challenging yourself with something unfamiliar is a way we grow. Comfort provides for complacency most of the time. In F3…we seek to accelerate!

FNG’s: none
Warm Up: Bounce step followed by SSH x 20 IC. Sir Fazio’s IC x 10 (F/R), Foot Trace, Spinal Rotations, Neck stretch, Good Mornings.
The Workout: 50/10 Tabata 4 rounds with 7 exercises. Exercises were: Ballistic Curl, Grave Digger, Seated Shoulder Press, Plank Pull Throughs (Pikachu pulled it through right over his finger today leading to a bloody glove…ouch!), Rows, Warrior Squat, and Bow Draw.

We finished the main set with 3 minutes of Death March!
Mary: LBC’s x25 IC, Polish Hammers x 10 IC, Dying cockroach x 25 IC, Pickle Pounders x10 IC, WW2’s x 10. Finished with about 4 minutes of stretching.
