178 Year Anniversary of The Naval Academy

Leave a comment

It was a cool crisp morning in the Fort but fear not, the mumble chatter kept us warm.

Quick warm up and we mosey 10 feet over to the field behind the AO.

Gave a quick history of the founding of the US Naval Academy by historian, educator, and secretary of The Navy George Bancroft. It was founded on 10/10/1845 in Annapolis Maryland to improve unsatisfactory methods of instructing midshipmen.

Thang:
10 Burpees (October)/10 Flutter (10th Day)/18 Squats & 45 Monkey Humpers (year of pain). Mode of transportation was a Yog (Soft J).

We did:

– 80 Burpees
– 60 Flutters
– 72 Squats
– 90 Monkey Humpers

Moseyed across the street to the hill of pain for some 7’s with a bear crawl as the mode of transportation.

– 6 Kraken Burpees
– 1 V-Up

Back to COT for announcements, prayers, and praises.

WARMUP:
Mosey to Amor for SSH, windmill, squats and some broga
THE THANG:
Continued to mosey toward the red caboose to find the F3 scarecrow that 3D and Harry Carey put together. Dojo quickly pointed out that he was holding 86lbs of kettle bells. Good work guys of incorporating 43ft into the scarecrow.

While there we knocked out 10 merkins, 20 squats and 30 LBCs.

Then we continued to mosey toward the print shop where we did the following
5 rounds
3 pull ups
10 squats
5 dips on the parallel bars
10 knees to chest

After wrapping up the WOD we walked a loop of the neighborhood and every 5 mins we would stop and do merkins until failure. We 4 stops, most of us knocked out 100 merkins and found our way back to COT

MARY:
Wrapped up with a few mins of LBCs and flutters before knocking out our last round of merkins

COT: Prayers lifted for Long Duck recovery, those battling addiction and parenting.

Thanks Rebound for the opportunity to lead. If you don’t have a Whetstone relationship talk to those in a relationship to begin the process to finding a blade or stone. We all need someone in our life that can smooth out some of the valleys and potholes we can find ourselves in.

Rebel out!!!

Kriss Kross beatdown

Leave a comment

Before starting I gave the standard disclaimer, but also proceeded to tell the Pax that we will be running backwards the entire workout which was also why I showed up with my shirt on backwards. Band Camp thought I just did that by mistake.

WARMUP:
Nur up to stop sign and did the following:
SSH
Windmill
Down dog, honeymooner
Merkins

Keep nuring down the hill toward pull up bars
Stopped again halfway down
Squats
Something else that I don’t remember

Stopped again at the bottom
Stretched out the arms
Moroccan Night Club
Nur

Pull-up bars are now locked up to my surprise so we modified thanks to Bobber. YHC decided we would just continue to make a large loop around the school stopping along the way to do the following exercises

5 burpees
10 LBCs
10 jump squats
10 merkins
7 leg raises
10 Dips

I believe we stopped 8 times completing all exercises each time.

This wasn’t the easiest thing to do especially the last two legs of the run. Pax covered over 1 mile all backwards. Good work men. Let’s see how we feel in the morning.
