The elusive albino deer

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

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)
The Workout: A mosey over to the Abyss, PAX partnered up for some BOMBS. 1 Partner descends into the darkness, completes 10 Star Jumps, while PAX on top do AMRAP exercise and then switch roles. Exercises were: Burpees, Outlaws, Merkins, Big Boy Sit Ups, and Squats. Plank hold for the 6.

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!
Mary: Monkey Humpers IC x 20, Hand Release-Release Merkins x 20, Monkey Humpers x 10 IC, Hand Release Merkins x 10. Pickle Pounders x 10 IC, LSF’s x 20 IC, LBC’s x 20 IC, Homer to Marge x 20 in varied cadence.

Not Plenty of Stretching

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.
Announcements: Yoga, stretching, rolling monthly challenge is on! Bed Build donations and effort on Slack. Volunteer opportunities at the Spring Classic.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: Spoken and unspoken…Lipstick took us out. Honor to lead men!
