Dying ain’t much of a living

Leave a comment

There was a steady, light mist that was more annoying than anything else. With Johnny Cash playing as everyone pulled into NaFo, the chatter began and it never, ever stopped. YHC was fine with it since it was my first Q in many moons, and I exceeded my own expectations by remembering how to call in cadence.

I will fail miserably trying to recount all of the stories that were told, but perhaps I could list some of the many subjects:
Johnny Cash & June Carter
King Soloman
Taylor Swift
Jezebel
White Snake
Nate Bergatze
Clint Eastwood, his movies and his quotes
The 6th Sense
The comedic relief was welcomed with the steady light mist beating down on us. And we still got our work in.

YHC is coming off of a 2 week illness and was thankful to be well enough to Q today. The workout was truly moderate which provided ample opportunity for mumble chatter and the Pax didn’t disappoint. It’s always a good time with these guys and perfect F3 weather this morning was icing on the cake. @CakeBoss and @BarryManilow rolled in from their run at exactly the right time. Well done, gentlemen! Thanks for the Q spot, @Boogie!

Ashley Cummings and Nasty Gloves

Leave a comment

Great to see DaVinci and Tinsel back out in the gloom but before we started warm up they stepped off to get some miles in and discuss recent design innovations in exterior illumination.

We did a couple of core warm ups then did a lap of catch me if you can. P1 does 5 HR merkins while P2 travels with both bags. P1 sprints to catch then swap. Always a quick way to get warm.

We moved to far side of field for main work. Crazy 8 which is 8 rounds of 8 reps of 8 exercises. 8 exercises were swings, merkin w/ruck pull thru, curls, lunges w/ruck overhead, bent over rows, mountain climbers, squats, and flutters w/press. Somehow merkins w/pull thrus are now forever to be called Ashley Cummings at Currahee. Show up and we’ll try to explain. Around the 2nd round fishstix offered Cicada some extra gloves he pulled out of somewhere. Cicada spent the next 2 rounds trying to determine what smelled like raw sewage, then the next 2 rounds getting over the dry heaves. Either fishstix used these to bear crawl thru the Golden Corral run off or used them to harvest choice meat from the TC deer culling. Pretty impressive for a set of gloves to funk up the outdoors. After throwing them away we finished the WOD and cashed out with 8 man-makers. Then we did various movements across the field: bear crawl, oh carry, fireman carry, and backwards oh carry. Recover, recover.

Back to COT. Great group this morning. Lots of mumblechatter helped the time fly by. Thx for the opportunity Sprocket.
