Omaha, Omaha! These streets have no name.

WARMUP:

Got the WOD inspiration from Florida Georgia line day before while working the BoFlex. Board of Pain w/ acrostic SIMPLE.

Decided rk take 1 of 2 routes, hit WEP, run laps starting from playground OR run to QT and instruct the 12 to use discretion to stop, wait for 6 and execute BOP.

Rolling in and catching an earful of healthy mumblechatter, decided neither. We will run randomly to dimmly lit parking lots and execute BOP.

Ran up to the old Kimbrells for a little warmup.

– Low slow squat with a jump at the end. @darkhelmet informed me that it was called a squat jump

– imperial walkers

– shoulder taps

– stretches

THE THANG:

An arbitrary count if 15 for each exercise.

Board of pain:

S Shoulder taps
I Irkins
M Monkey Humpers
P Plank Jax
L Lunges
E Burpees (burpee has an E in it)

Run to 1887 Brewery, BOP

Run to the government building on the left on way back, BOP.  After much debate, no one knew what building it was and we found ourselves back at Kimbrells.

By then we started to spread out, causing more chaos.

Run down, take left at Amor and hit parking lot on left, BOP.

Per Jihnny Utahs request, hit Litte Caesars, BOP.

Run past COT, on left side of street, hit parking lot with kong brick wall, BOP.

Head back to COT for some Mary.

COT:

Quoting ZBB “ I have everything I need, nothing that I dont” was a pleasant reminder on being content and thankful for your blessings. Happiness is fleeting but joy is eternal.

Rather quiet, everyone’s life must be perfect.

NMS

I explained this was a clear demonstration how not to Q a workout.

You need to be flexible and know your PAX but you must be able to articulate clearly amidst the chaos of the gloom especially with the strong mumbkechatter hell bent on throwing you off and distracting you.

I personally wouldn’t have it any other way and am thankful for the PAX that showed and their relentlessness. Blessed to have this brotherhood in my life and always am appreciative to serve at BP.

Bobby Hurley Hell

Leave a comment

We were joined by Deadbolt from the Raleigh area. Got to talk a bit before we started, but gave disclaimer at 0515 and got started.

WARMUP;
Downward dog/honey mooner
SSH (IC – sort of…apparently I had inflection that made Poppins think we were stopping at 10).

THE THANG:
Moseyed over to back of school, balls to wall while each person does 3 burpees
Then did wall squats while PAX ran around the loop (another Poppins shout-out, this HIM is sneaky fast #sprinter)

Next we headed over by the band room area. We got to see the horses and YHC learned that is why it’s called the Ranch (#themoreyouknow)

@bobber asked if we’d get to do Bobby Hurleys like I called at a previous Q…he was excited when he heard what I had next..a Dora with:

100 lunges (single count leg)
200 Carolina dry docks
300 Bobby Hurleys (audibled to 250 when I recalled how awful these were and my form was getting pretty bad)
400 Freddy Mercury
Bonus round of burpees for a few of us as the last group finished.

Headed to the playground for a Pull up/merkins series (5 OYO/6 IC, 4/5, 3//4)

Sasquatch led some mountain climbers at COT while YHC grabbed my phone from the car to do video namorama!

Announcements: read your newsletter
Prayers: lots offered up.

Thanks @poppins for the opportunity to lead

THE THANG:
Mosey to picnic area for some 11s with Dips and Derkins. Bobber led the Mumblechatter about some crazy Merkin count from Shady at Bushwood, but nobody listened. Poppins dutifully nodded next to Bobber as any good Site Q would do to make the pax feel welcome.

The Swamp’s last day at Rivergate is Fri 6/10. It moves to McGospel site (TC HT) as of 6/17.

COT: Great energy among the group today! Good to see the strong support for Happy Hour. Can’t wait to see his first full Q! Message today around Hope was aimed at challenging each of us to reflect on where we place our hope — is it your own ability, government, employer, money, your friends, family, etc….they will fail you. They’re all human constructs and thus flawed and faulty. Dig deep and anchor your hope in something/someone outside yourself and the everyday world you see around you. For me, that’s my creator, who loved me and believed in me before I ever took a breath. Find that solid rock that won’t fail you.

Thanks to all, especially Poppins and Happy Hour this morning.

Varsity Level Prison Workout

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Sasquatch led the pax through a Broga session, under cover as promised but no less stretchy than his usual job making the pax hurt so good!

THE THANG: The AO was set up for wet, muddy pain with blocks and bricks. Mother Nature decided to throw electrically charged javelins at the Pax so we audibled to work under cover for 15 mins. Twister validated safe status for getting out in the open, then just as we put hands to the heavy things Mother Nature three another spear our way. Pax hauled gear back and the workout resumed undercover.

Here’s what we did:
Burpees X10
Bombjacks X10
Donkey kicks x10
Shoulder taps x10 IC
…rinse & repeat…again and again and again and…

COT: Thanks to the pax for enduring “the prison workout” as Twister called it. Quite appropriate since my theme for the planned weinke that never got unleashed focused on the Mental Battle. I’m very guilty of living in my head way too often, which leads to me becoming a prisoner in my own mind. staying in one spot under threat with grueling repetitive work is an even greater mental battle than the physical grind. Everyone pushed through including all the reps with inspiringly few groans…this is a tough group! and the toughness comes because of the group. I know I wouldn’t have knocked that out solo, so thanks for being there and pushing yourself and me. great work!

It being Memorial Day, we closed out with a challenge to remember someone who has passed during the drive home (vet or not). I’m grateful to have another day and grateful for those who’ve touched my life here and continue to touch me from the other side.

thanks to Bodywash. Honored to lead!
