Run stadium steps till time

Finished off workout with Airborne hip exercises. Dark Helmet is not a fan so he didn’t participate.

Great work by all Pax. It was extremely hot and humid but they all pushed to get through at least the last round of bear crawl. Leaders were running stadium steps when time was called.

This was a workout created to honor DEA Special Agent Terry Watson. Who was killed in Bogota Colombia June 20, 2013.

Workout was modified, but it still sucked.

Began with short mosey followed by a warmup: SSH, windmills, imperial walkers, low slow squats, peter parkers and some plank stretches (up/down dogs).
Ran to the benches and did: step ups, derkins, butt touch squats, incline merkins, dips, calf raises.
Ran to parking lot and did lucky sevens, started with:
7 burpees, run loop
14 merkins, run loop
21 SSH, run loop
28 squats, run loop
21 bobby hurleys, run loop
14 monkey humpers, run loop
7 dry docks, run loop.
Loop was a choice of 900 feet on the outer loop or 600 feet on the inner loop.
Ended up repeating burpees and merkins segments.

Mary: round robin; Freddies, LBC, WWI situps, crossover crunches, rosalitas, flutters.

The men came expecting Maximus, but got YHC (disappointment).
We did too many reps and did not achieve our 3-mile minimum (failure).

It happens. Deal with it.

What a turnout

Leave a comment

Word for the day was “consistency”. Anyone can do it in bursts or for a short while but a consistent performance will take you further. When you are tired or disinterested, that consistency will help you to focus.
WARMUP: Seal Jacks, IW, Windmill, Mountain Climbers, MNC and, of course, SSHs
THE THANG: mosey to back of Lowe’s. Partner up for Dora: 100 Merks, 200 Gas Pumpers (just for Twister) & 300 Sumo Squats.
10 partner hand slap Merkins, 10 partner Derkins (real crowd pleaser) and 5 Partner Giddy-ups per side.
Mosey to Persis wall, pax jumps out to do 5 bombjacks then 3 flying Squirrels. Ended with Jack Webb and the Q was gassed.
MARY: 2 rounds
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Summer of CSAUPs, FM Care Center lawn care
COT: Prayers for Destiny’s Father in law and a friend of Assassin’s wife with a brain tumor.
What a glorious humid day to be amongst the Pax. Honored and humbled by the great turnout.

School’s Out: Dawn Patrol Edition

Leave a comment

Nice showing at DP. A couple double downs, a couple big brains (SLT) and a couple late risers … all perfectly acceptable.

With that said, “I have to get the kids to school” is not valid for June and July, so get out and double down.

6 rucked, 3 ran. We had a 2.5 mile loop.

Down that way, right at the pharmacy, around to Hardees, take a left, all the way to the T, right, right at the next T, come up behind the post office, Forest, Academy and back.

If I lost you, Bandcamp can translate.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow
