Merkin Filled Zipper

Leave a comment

This is Band Camp reporting for the work-swamped Fire Marshall Bill and the 16 other PAX at minnow pond on 8/4. Looks like y’all ran a zipper and did merkins? This report has not been verified, but I think the tags are accurate

Takin’ it back old school because I’m an old fool

Leave a comment

WARMUP: we ran up the hill on Massey into the big parking lot to circle up. Started with some SSH and stopped pretty quick to get in cadence. 5 burpee penalty. Started over with SSH in cadence…stopped again to get in cadence. 3 burpee penalty. Started again and stayed in cadence for the most part. Moved on to sumo squats, merkins, shoulder taps, up and down dog, and finished with some back stretching.
THE THANG: From the parking lot, we ran down the grass hill over to the small lot with the wall that used to have nails sticking out (we didn’t find any of those). We did 7s here with burpees at the bottom, jump the wall, and donkey kicks at the top.

Finished here and had a short run over to the “step up” wall. Before we left the parking lot, we were reminded we have one mouth and 2 ears and if we’re thinking of our responses before someone else is done speaking, are we truly listening??

Made it to the step up wall where we did 11s. Steps up were both legs (bad idea here) and we did decline ranger merkins for the other half of our 11s (10+1, 9+2…1+10).

Left here with the plan to go to LBJ church and with 15 min left, we Omaha’s back to the big parking lot. Dora was the plan and previous site Q Bobber suggested running up and down the big hill…so we did. Partner up and Dora was: 100 diamond merkins, 200 jump squats, 300 flutters 2 count…which no one made it to flutters.
MARY: 5 min to spare we ran back to COT for MARY. Both Jackelope and State Farm got a chance to call cadence and crushed it!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots! Check out the newsletter! Dam to dam is coming so look for Sept 1 sign up!
COT: welcomed Stiletto who was visiting Maximus from TX, and Wegmans has 13 weeks to perfect his smoking craft as he takes care of that new baby!

Swampy Soup conditions were no match for 17 men to do the harder thing by launching from startex and heading into the #gloom. And when I say #gloom, I mean original AO, full grass, dirty, immersion. *just want to add that it makes me so happy to see Bojangles out with us again. pretty close to an OG and a strong leader. 2.0 Jackalope falling right in and establishing his own path too. Very cool. Cousin Eddie Accelerating, Bobber has the gift of gab, and Grout is a silent killer.
WARMUP: Full COP with SSH, IW, Merkins, Windmills, overhead claps.
THE THANG:
1. head to hill for Jacobs ladder (7) with Donkey Kicks and Bombjacks
2. Playground- Partner up for lap around playground while partner does pull ups till return. Flapjack. Rinse/Repeat
3. Partner Derkins/Dip. P1 hold plank, P2 does exercise on back of P1. 10 reps. flapjack; Rinse/Repeat
4. Pike Place Muscle ups and wall sits. Extra credit for IJ, Bandcamp and Funhouse for heading after the #monster
