Variation of the Manion WOD. 7 Rounds, 29 Reps, 400m Ruck or Runs. Exercises included Ruck Squats, Merkins, Irwin’s, Derkins, Ruck Swings/Curls, Leg lifts/Flutters, Sandbag #60 MedBalls-Over the shoulder & Bent over row.
WARMUP: It was cold so the 3 of us needed to get moving ASAP. Moseyed for 5 minutes and wound up in parking lot in front the baseball field. Triangled up and performed the following all in cadence: SSHx20, WMx8, CPx8, Merksx10. We were warm and ready to work.
THE THANG: Different take on Dora that worked out well with 3 and would work with pairs as well. The flow was to run for 5 minutes ( make use of the campus ) and then perform a 1 exercise DORA routine, run for 5 minutes, another 1 exercise DORA routine, etc… We got in 3 DORA routines which were as follows:
DORA#1 – run distance was approx. 25yards out, partners performed 10 alternating lunges together, once completed 1 of the group took off on the run while the others held AG until the runner returned. Completed 6 rounds as each of us ran twice.
DORA#2 – run distance was approx. 40yards out, partners performed 10 merkins together, once completed 1 of the group took off on the run while the others held Plank until the runner returned. Completed 6 rounds as each of us ran twice. There were multiple merkin variations used.
DORA#3 – run distance was approx. 20yards out, partners performed 10 lower leg lifts, once completed 1 of the group took off on the run while the others held 6in until the runner returned. Completed 6 rounds as each of us ran twice.

COT:
Great workout including some rain work (COP, Jacobs Ladder) and dry work (Lazy Dora, Broga). More importantly the mumblechatter was legendary.
WARMUP: Naked and Afraid led in cadence. He’s still got it.
THE THANG: NaF tried to hand off, but I didn’t let him. So, he called 50 burpees and got himself gassed enough so that I would take over.
We did some partner dora-esque work including:
50 burpees
100 CDD
150 LBC
Bulgarian Split Squats
Bear Crawled with additive merkins
J-Los
Flutters
PAX discussed what brings us out to the gloom.
Among the answers:
The desire to be better for our families
The fellowship
Knowing we wouldn’t do this in isolation
The leadership training
Connection to Q-source
The mentorship
Starting the day up 1-0
The accountability
Associating with a group of men striving to be better
Imagine what kind of sad clowns we’d (I’d) be otherwise
An honor to lead today. Great to have NaF answer my text last night and step up to post and Q the warmup!

WARMUP:
300 yd mossy without ruck
Moroccan night clubs, windmill, low slow squats, SSH
THE THANG:
Pick a sandbag and perform the following:
The idea was to get 46 reps of each exercise so I broke it down into 3 cycles, 15+15+16 with a 300yd lap with ruck and sandbag after each cycle has been completed. Use you sandbag for all exercises, ruck on at all times except for last exercise:
Sandbag toss
High pulls
Curls
Squat
Over the shoulder toss
Bend over rows
Chest press (no ruck)
As planned it took about 50 minutes to complete all 3 cycles
MARY: 10 minutes of broga
