The Sergeant Major

WARMUP:

Mosey to the track
50 SSH IC

So in honor of Veterans Day I created a custom WOD in honor of my father Sgt Major Horace Pysher.

The reps are indicative of the units he’s served in throughout his career.

The Sergeant Major:

28 Burpees
1 mile run
28 Burpees
56 Big Boy Sit-ups
1 mile run
28 Burpees
56 Big Boy Sit-ups
112 HR Merkins
1 mile run

All told it’s 3 miles + 112 burpees Sit-ups and Merkins.

(As we got to the end I offered a 200yrd bear crawl as a substitute to the 112 HR Merkins. )

Great push by all …Harry Carry was the #king of the day! 👊

Thanks to all who showed this morning and to all veterans for your service!

Lack of Creativity, Excess of Difficulty

One Mile Warm Up to Dave Gibson, across 160 to Emory and around to Brayden Pkwy. Sun 6 pace for the front men.

Hill Suicides
Start at base of Brayden hill, run up, run down.
At Median Break
10, 20, 30 Merkins/Flutters
10, 20, 30 Curb Dips/American Hammers
10, 20, 30 CDD’s/Hello Dollies

Do your ten at the first median, back to the bottom. Then twenty at the second median, and back to the bottom. Hit the top at 160, 30 reps, back to bottom.

After three laps, head back to Earth Fare for COT. Looped the building to make it an even four miles before calling it. Five 8 Count Bodybuilder’s to end.

Strong work by all. The Brayden hill is unforgiving.

Announcements
THERE WILL BE MEAT at the bourbon tasting on 11/18
This week we’ve also got Change Order’s Veteran’s Day clay shoot – 11/11. Hit up CO for more details.
Chad 1000x is on Thursday at S2S.

Prayers/Praises
Prayers for Band Camp traveling for work. Safe travels, brother.
Praise for Poppins’ leadership at the Bethel men’s shelter
Prayers/praise for our attentiveness as fathers and husbands.
Praise for the new faces today.

NMM
Olaf’s prayer hit me right between the eyes. He dropped a timely prayer request after a weekend of distracted parenting. How much presence would my kids perceive that I give, if I asked them? Am I giving them all of me, or only some of me?

Thanks for the tap today, Badlands.

Punch List out.

Sharknado Again?

WARMUP: We ran 1/4 mile and did the usual except for SSH’s they suck and Hill Billy Walkers are better.
THE THANG: Sharknado was called again because I’m not original and couldn’t think of anything else to do, so twice in a month seemed fine to me. Also I know how much Trucker loves it. The hand release Merkins where just for Cyclops. Here’s how it went.

10 Burpees / Run down Hill and back to top
20 Hand Release Merkins / Run down and back up
20 Big Boy Sit-ups/ Run down and back up
20 Monkey Humpers / Run down and back up
20 Scorpion Dry Docks / Run down and back up

Goal was to do entire cycle 5 times, most made it to three complete rounds. This shut up the mumble chatter very quickly as we got 3 miles in just three rounds.

MARY: Returned to COT for 5 minutes of stretching as I try to do at end of all my Q’s.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dam To Dam Golf Tournament is Friday December 9th at 10:00AM Waterford Golf Club in Rock Hill. Contact Stang with any questions.
COT It was done.
