The Gladiator Games are Coming…

Its not often Trucker has a good idea, but credit is due where its due. YHC will revive the contest of champions where survival is the best case scenario. The object is to get to the end of the course as fast as you can, simple. Pax will start 2-5 minutes apart and fight their way to the end. This 20 minutes ass kick fest will have you taking the rest of the week off. Forget the UVU shxt. This is UV Everyone. Top time takes the title of Gladiator until the games return again….if they ever do. Last running of the bulls was nearly 8 years ago and a Gastonia Pax took the crown.

Lets see if all these cute little murphs and black diamond workouts have done anything to prepare you. There’s gonna be more than a sink there so be prepared for what’s beyond.

Synchronize your watches to converge at Catawba Ridge Football Parking Lot at a special start time of 5am. Ill take your reading this an an HC

Running Holbrook

We chased Topham and LTrain down Holbrook to the dead-end and came back. Some took an extra jaunt down Poplar Ridge. Mileage was about 5 miles.

There’s an African proverb that says, “if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

In life, we never succeed alone. The only way humans have survived anything is working together. Find your people and challenge each other to achieve great things. You men are my people.

2 is better than 1

WARMUP: There was none….warmups are for amateur’s
THE THANG:
Like most good things, it all started with watching YouTube the night before. A lady far superior in fitness said she had a simple yet effective routine to get swole. Her best time for completing the set was 18 minutes. My thoughts were surely we could do it in 45….

10 rounds of: 10 swings, 10 squats, 1 Turkish Get up each side. Then we jogged a lap in the parking lot

We had to mossey back to COT and get the last set with 1 minute to spare….and we didn’t get the final run in. So yes, we completed the routine kinda. But we were also bested by about 30 minutes from the random lady on YouTube.

…AND THATS HOW HISTORY IS MADE

WARMUP:
History was made today as YHC made his VQ at The Armory. I’m happy that after 9 years someone finally noticed me. All it took was getting up at 3 am to make the drive across the bridge to the “other side” of Fort Mill.

We didn’t do a disclaimer because only professionals showed up.

Warm up was an Indian Run in a slowish pace around the parking lot. Battlebot decided to snake us a bit but we made it back. 5 Windmills and about 10 Polish night clubs.

THE THANG:

After much discussion on the properness of the name, we did a Jack Web because I said so. Although others were determined it should have been called 11s. Luckily, I didn’t fold under the pressure and called it what I wanted. We started with 1 press and walked across the lot for 10 curls. Now normally you would assume we then did 2 presses and 9 curls…. but somewhere in YHC’s Coors Light daze the numbers didn’t add up. We pretty much did 10 of each exercise on both sides of the parking lot. I wish I could say it was a test to see who was paying attention, but that would just be a lie.

Next, we again debated the name of the exercise group. I said accumulator, some said Dora, others said Misogi….look I don’t care what yall call stuff, just do the exercises. We partnered up with 1 person doing the call out while the other ran across the lot and back. Each time the partner ran they had to add 1 merkin. I think by the end we were around 14-16 merkins each time we ran. Call out was 300 swings, 200 tri extension, and 50 man makers.

Closed with good news about Band Camps youth trip and prayers over the P200 runners

….Hope your happy 3D and thanks for the invite Battle Bot
