Eagle Claw going to The Citadel
Written by DOAH in slack: [commentary by Band Camp]
Heart Breakers: @U01NGHPR2HW and almost @U05TY21AC2X, but he uncommitted sometime last night…
The Thang: Route attached [was attached in slack, you could look up today's date on a PAX's Strava. Suffice it to say: we hit 3 miles. FMPD slow rolled our start this morning which kept YHC from running directly where I planned to go, but we made it over there another way. No complaints]. We stopped a lot and did a lot [5 each stop] of 6-Count burpees (a BC staple), [10] merkins, [15] squats, [20] flutters, with a few LBCs thrown in for bad measure. [We did an undetermined amount of these based on keeping the group together enough so nobody got lost. Kept things in cadence because that seems to help keep men accountable to actually doing the exercises. Something about pushing through pain and discomfort together. Started with just burpees. Next stop: burpees & merkins, etc.]
Moleskine: Sweat. Plenty of sweat. And some ramblings that implied some very limited understanding of the functional success of certain systems. Regardless, we went fast and didn't lose anyone along the way… except Slash… but he was lost by choice. Uptown Girl is still greatly disturbed by my presence and refused even so much as a fist bump this morning, but like a lot of folks who hate me when they first meet me (that list is long, right Crystal Lake?), I'll wear him down eventually.
COT: The Fort’tan gave a good thought about acting on those things that we feel called to do and not delaying. Prayers for EC as he heads off to get his head shaved and his spine straightened, and prayers for NASA as he sends his little bird out of the nest.
[Here's the deal. God doesn't put things on your heart for someone else to do it. Go get after it.]
WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, low slow squats, merkins
THE THANG:
There are 11 swings around the perimeter of the park. Starting from the parking lot, a tree near the handicap spots was used as the starting point.
Ladder style – shuttle run workout:
1 burpee at the tree, run to the 1st swing and 5 merkins
Back to the tree, 1 burpee, to the 1st bench for 5 merkins, then the 2nd bench for 10 squats.
Back to tree for 1 burpee, 1st swing – 5 merkins, 2nd swing – 10 squats, 3rd swing – 15 LBCs
Following that cadence, the 4th swing was 20 SSH, 5th swing 25 mountain climbers (double count), 6th swing – 5 pull-ups.
Once at 6th swing, work your way back down but in reverse on the other side of the park, still going back to the tree for 1 burpee.
So 5 pull-ups, 25 mountain climbers, back to the tree for a burpee.
Then 5 pull-ups, 25 mountain climbers, 20 ssh, back to the tree for 1 burpee. Keep going until finished.
