Parting is such sweet sorrow

Leave a comment

Tomahawk came with one mission and one mission only, to take ass and kick names. It has been a great few months reviving this long forgotten relic. I can’t think of a better way to send Tomahawk back to the depths than with todays Gladiator Games.

It renewed my faith in the pax that they aren’t ALL squishy. Sure some still cant do a proper lunge (Bandcamp), but I saw hope. Hope that pax don’t stay complacent, hope that harder AOs like Tallawah and Kitchen Sink become the new norm, and hope that we will continue to push each other.

Who knows, maybe Tomahawk will be needed again one day. But for now… Birdcage signing off

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH. Cherry Pickers, Merks, Rebel Merks, Diamond Merks, Imperial Walkers, Nightclubs, Squats, Honey Mooner, Downward Doggie, Windmills, Mosey…
THE THANG: Keep it simple: Mini – Ladder – start at 5 reps w each rung in ladder adding one rep ( 6, 7, 8, and 9) 5 Bomb Jax, 6 Diamond Merks, 7 Big Boys, 8 Donkey Kicks, 9 Seal Jax!
Next up – some 11s ( that Bass couldn’t wait to get started )
We started top of the hill with Bobby Hurleys then moseying down around the bend and up the Hill to a spot so close to the starting point ( other side of road) and knocked out Plank Jax to keep the math working…
Called an audible half way thru to assist with the hill climbs and descents- finished out the 11s on a flatter area of the entrance. Almost infringed on the Minnow Pond parameters ( but who was measuring the total ground covered??)

MARY: 4 mins of Mary completed with a solid use of Heels to Heaven by Gemini who challenged the Pax up to a 15 count ….when the mumblechatter began after passing the standard 10 count! Nice work by all!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes!!
COT: Prayers for Geraldine who was being comforted at Hospice ( prayers for Slash and family), Family ( teenagers for ChickHawk), health and fellowship as we head into Summer.

Ended on F3 deck of cards style for these few minutes remaining, with Mainframe electing all exercises to be done with ruck on – as if the workout wasn’t fun enough.
