Charons’ Boat & Schwing stuff

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, 5 Burpees, imperial squat-walkers, 4 Burpee, Moroccan nightclub-Calf raises, 3 Burpee, cherry picker, 2 Burpee‘s, hillbilly walkers, 1 Burpee

THE THANG: tried dragging Charon‘s boat 1.0 (pictures in site- Q channel) and quickly realized it was too devastating to the landscape.
Minor disassembly turned this into 2- Man heavy-ass-coupons.

Two stops were made on the way to the playground (at the swinging chairs).

First stop, 10 Lieutenant Dan’s IC,

second stop 1- legged LBC complex (LBC, pickle pointer, cross elbow/knee… Then flapjack) 15 IC each

At the playground, Dora Work using the “Schwings”:
100 knee-tuck Merkins, 200 leaning jump squats, 250 inverted Rows (all on the swings)

Meanwhile… Partner, PAX runs up a slide, slides back down, 3 Burpee’s, and lap around the playground to switch

After this, we picked up afore-mentioned heavy-ass-coupons, made 1 stop on the way back to the flag to do 10 more Lt. Dan IC

MARY: bro(Y)oga for ~10 min.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: QvQ, cleanup, Convergence, Jaegar

COT: held… Prayers for marriages, communication, and recovery from injuries.

Charon’s Boat 2.0 will return in a safer (to the landscape) form in the near future

Stop and go light or Traffic signal?

Fact: the weinke went through the washing machine as soon as I got home, it did not make it to the dryer

Fact: <@UGU3XR5RP> thought <@U5CVD8D7V> was going to be at The Fort. He was disappointed that DH did not show, he was also very disappointed that I was on Q. 100% True.

Fact: this Q is old, I left it all on the field and was sore for 2 days, but was still only 28% of Band Camp

We toured Fort Mill:
-lot across from Vet park
-The Print Shop parking lot (was hoping for a morning brew, but no go)
-Church of God parking lot
-First Baptist parking lot
-St Johns UMC parking lot
-the wall by Kimballs
-Vet Park parking lot
-back to COT

most stops were 1 exercise, various transportation across the lot, 1-2 exercise, back across, 1-2-3 exercise

We did a Jonah Hill at The Church of God

We did a Matt Foley at St John UMC

Wall work and various Jacks at the Kimballs wall

Mahktar N’Diayes were included at one stop

Bear Crawls, Crawl Bears, Crab Walks, etc

Band Camp, Cyclops and JWOW led the way. Fitness levels that I will never realize.

<@U6AS1MBPG> ran to The Fort from 6@6, participated for an hour, and ran back with 2-50lb sand bags, backwards in the snow. Beast.
<@U5RTPS4M8> ran to The Fort from 6@6, participated (ribbon TBD) and ran back
Twisty, Bass and Fogerty dressed like a stop and go light stopped in

Looks like we made it,

Chasing Amy, I mean Twister

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 6 gathered, which was a great number, for a full 1 hour of party packed entertainment. Twister joined us to say hi as he terrains his 6@6, but before he got 75 yards away, we had a quick disclaimer and took off to join him on his route. As the 6 of us caught up to him, the mumblechatter ensued and since he was already x miles into his route, we passed him as we neared Harris street. We stopped at the corner for 10 merkins, waited for the 6 and let Twister run away a little down Harris, and then we took off after him again. Down Harris we ran, catching him and harassing him again, because Twister wouldn’t want it any other way. As we passed him, we made our way to the park at the bottom of the hill and circled up in the parking lot for warm ups: SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, merkins, mountain climbers, and a few runner stretches.
THE THANG: Made our way over to the basketball court for some modified suisides. At each line we would do 1 merkin and add 1 per line doing the same number on the starting base line. 1 and 1, 2 and 2, 3…you get it. We then kept climbing back down the lines where in the end we ended up with 8 and 8.

We then ran back up Harris to LBJ church where we ran steps, ran around the church, back to steps for 10 diamonds, 10/leg of Bulgarian split squats. We did this circuit 2x.

Next stop was the gas station to stop for the 6, then made our way to print shop. At the print shop we did a 25% murph because who doesn’t need pull up practice.

Ran all the way back to the millstone in front of the steps by veterans park, stopped for the 6, then ran to the small wall by the engineering building for 20 dips and 20 total step ups. Did this circuit 2x. Ran back to WEP, did a time check, got a big sigh of relief”oh but there more” and ran up the walking path to the top of the hill, back down, then back up the grassy hill with the statue, then down the side hill to COT.
MARY: got through about 3 exercises
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter items
COT: CSPAN style for P&P

THE THANG: We ran 3 ish miles down to Harris St Park, thru downtown FM and back. We stopped a lot several churches and paid homage at the Print Shop as well. Stretching, core, burpees, Merkins and squats were the spice throughout, ensuring we stayed warm on a morning that measured 20 degrees at launch.

Success is on the other side of belief. You have to believe your future dreams are possible. The man who believes he can, and the man who believes he can’t are both right. Your mindset shapes your outcomes. It is amazing what can be accomplished when you believe. It is even more incredible how much more you can accomplish when others believe in you. Set your goals, believe you can accomplish them, and put in the effort to get there. This is a new year. Believe you can accomplish great things.

Aye!
