A Run Down Memory Lane

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Some stretching and excellent mumblechatter in the parking lot.
THE THANG: Back when Seabiscuit first started up, the area was by no means as developed as it is now. I decided to resurrect an old Seabiscuit OG route – head down Whites Rd. Except this time instead of running along the FM Parkway to Whites, we cut through the neighborhood by the middle school, then down Whites to the first roundabout. Back in the day it mostly ended there, out and back. We were able to dip into Waterside to the roundabout on Bryson Gap, then back to COT. Back in the day we saw more deer and heard more coyotes. Now we heard one coyote but saw a ton of cars. The route is still pretty safe, has some good, albeit misleading hills. They’re adding sidewalk all down Whites from the Parkway to Waterside. Once that’s done, this will be an excellent, safer route. Overall abput 4.2 miles round trip.
MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: FAST FIVE!!
COT: A lot of good P&P lifted up.

Don’t be afraid to share your burdens in COT. Guys tend to hold them in. That can be terrible for your mental and physical health.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

Thang 2 – Starfish
I asked the Pax for a number between 1 and 5. Tomb Raider(@Damien Croft) called out 4 and this became the number of burpees in the center of our 4 corners.

We started with the 4 Burpees then ran to each corner for a set of exercises returning to the center for 4 burpees.

Pendulum of pain

Leave a comment

WARMUP: grandpa jacks, hillbilly walkers, dynamic plank stretching, gravediggas
THE THANG: ran towards RedVentures, stopped at Handels to do a quick set of Dark Helmets favorite lifting heavy chairs over head a few times:

OH PRESS 10x
DERKINS 10x
CURLS 10x

Then we moseyed to the road with lightpoles headed down to RV where I explained the thang

Starting at bottom of hill, we ran up back to top of hill by Carolina Butcher, performed 1 Kraken Burpee then ran back to bottom of hill.

From there we bear crawled the other direction up the hill to first tree where we performed what I called a crab dip, from the crab position take hand and touch opposite foot, then flip flop and then do a dip.

We did 10 of those and then crab walked back to bottom of hill.

Then we ran back up hill towards other side and dropped off one light pole and performed 2 kraken burpees, ran back down to bottom of hill and then bear crawled to second tree up other side of hill, then performed 9 “crab dips”
Then instead of crab walking we changed to NUR (good feedback from pax)
Kept doing this until we achieved 5 kraken burpees and we ran short on time so had to mosey back, stopping to bear crawl up hill by Carolina butcher.

MARY:

Flutters until 6
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Bethel, battle bot send off, convergence
COT:
Honor to lead the men today, asked for feedback which we don’t do enough of. I personally felt it was a bit sloppy and not super well adjusted for time but it’s hard to tell sometimes how long a plan will take to execute…so get me on your Q schedules men! Lastly we talked about keeping the Sad clown at bay, he never actually goes away, we just keep beating him into submission every day we take the DRP.
