I through out the challenge of trying to get a group greater than 10 but with Cornhole and YHC on Q, that proved to be less-than-likely. After he takes a few hours off from the 24 hours of Booty, Cornhole came down to the Rock to co-Q at Alcatraz with YHC yesterday. Not only did he double-down Saturday, he brought it. So after a detailed disclaimer, Cornhole opened with a few words to other 7 of us about how Cancer has affected nearly all of us and how we need to remember and be grateful for the opportunities we have.
So with Cornhole up first:
Jog around the big loop of the park
Warm Up: SSH, Squat, Moroccan Night Club, 12ct Merkins (4 count down to 6” followed by 4 count at 6” followed by 4 count back up to the start), 12ct Squats (same sequence as the Merkins)
Line Up on one end of the outfield with about 15ft between the PAX:
1. Man at the end bear crawls to the next man while the PAX does burpees. 2nd man bear crawls to 3rd and so one.
When you not bear crawling, your burpee’ing.
2. Same as above but with Crab Walks and LBC’s.
3. Same as above but with sideways bear crawls and squats.
4. Same as above but with inch worms and LBC’s then audibled to lunges.
Hand off to Maximus:
Maybe a little more warmup
Lunge walks then reverse lunge walks
Mosey to the infamous hill on the back side of the park for a repeat of several weeks ago. Evidently nobody was here this week and that Saturday back in June because they would’ve remembered this.
At the top of the hill, hold a squat for 20 seconds, jog to the bottom of the hill then give it all you got back up the hill to the starting position at the top. Next up, hold the squat for 40 seconds, jog down then sprint up. Finally, hold the squat for 60 seconds, jog down then sprint back to the top.
With a few needed 10 counts sprinkled in, there was a lot of bent over huffing and puffing after that round. Not gonna lie, it might’ve brought a tear to my eye or was it just the stinging of the insane amount of sweat rolling off my forehead? You decide.
Followed that up with 150 calf raises in true board of pain fashion; 50 toes out, 50 regular, 50 toes in.
Mosey back to the outfield grass for what was surely the finest part of my ½. Say hello to everybody’s favorite Serviceman, Lieutenant Dan. On a 1:4 ration, we did squats & jumping lunges. After completing the round of 7:28, I realized I had to take a detour for Mary.
Heels to Heavens
Take a learning from Cornhole’s 12ct Merkins, we did 12ct leg raises. Starting at 90 degrees, 4ct down to 6” then holding a 4ct at 6” followed by a 4ct as you raise it back up to 90 degrees.
I finally felt like I had what it took to finish the Lt. Dan’s so we did; on up to 10 squats : 40 Jumping Lunges.
We appreciate the opportunity to Q such a strong group and with a day like this, the soreness will definitely linger.
Announcements: This upcoming Friday, event at CAH. The Forge camping trip in November at Mt. Mitchell. RAGNAR relay in October.
Prayer Requests: Several relocations coming up with Bing & Howitzer. Managing the stress of the situations. Prayers for those battling cancer and the families involved. Whether it’s in memory of or celebrating the triumph, prayers are appreciated.
Much Appreciation
Cornhole & Maximus
