Two Bags of Treasure

Leave a comment

Chilly morning at the Corral..Most stayed in their vehicles until a few minutes before wheels up. We had a FNG, one of his buddies had mentioned our group. FIrst name Greg, went to ECU (Home of the Pirates). We all thought about the character in Dodgeball movie, Greg the Pirate.
We got started with warm-ups in the parking lot (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Plank, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters).
Next, we used the two sandbags. Two men carried the sandbags around the parking lot until the rest of the group ran around the parking lot and caught up with them. It was suppose to be a tempo run in the opposite direction, but it ended up being more like a catch me if you can. Remember – not a professional. We rotated until everyone carried a bag.
Next, we moseyed to the Pet grooming store, dropped the bags and ran to the oppose side of the parking lot. Two pax ran to the bags and did 5 reps of Manmakers (rd1+rd3), Squat Thrusters (rd2) while the other pax did various exercises. Flapjack – three rounds.
I did get a chuckle when Change Order said to the FNG, “Grab you ankles” as he describe how to do a Monkey Humper.
Few minutes left for some Mary.
Back to COT.

Choose you own adventure

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Brief mozy followed by SSH, Moroccan Night clubs, Mountain climbers, low slow squats
THE THANG: As a kid YHC enjoyed the “choose your own adventure” books where you get to make decisions about what happens in the story. On a somewhat rainy Tuesday, the Pax got to decide which story they wanted. Option one was a board of pain with higher reps under cover and dry. Option two was lower reps but with running between stations in the rain. It turns out it wasn’t much of a discussion and everyone (just 3 of us due to a bad weather forecast) chose option two.
Reps were 30 each and after each exercise we ran to the next of four locations at the AO. Exercises were: Burpees, Sumo Squats, American Hammers, Freddy Mercurys, Plank Jacks, Merkins, Moroccan Night Clubs, Shoulder Taps, LBCs, Carolina Dry Docks, Calf Raises, SSH, Wide arm Merkins, Flutters, Mountain Climbers.
MARY: Included some in roving board of pain
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Blood drive and D2DB registration.
COT: Thankful the rain wasn’t as bad as predicted. Support of fellow Pax regardless of weather conditions.
