Limited miles and no smiles

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick warmup ruck around the back of the school to the front entry drive for COP.
– SSH
– LSS
– Plank into downward dog, honeymooner, L arm high and R arm high.
– Windmill

THE THANG:

Ruck to trailhead park. While in route, there was some chatter/concern that we were headed to “the hill” for a second week in a row. As much as I love taking the hill, I had something a little different planned…an early intro to prep for The Chad.
– 100 step ups
– 100 squats (ruck on)
– 100 irkens

With 30 minutes left on the clock, we rucked back to the school for some field work.

Cones were placed every 20 yards (approx). 4 segments out / 4 segments back. 5 ruck man makers to start and at each turn.

Out:
– MOT = bear crawl / 10 ruck on merkins at each cone

Back:
– MOT = Lunge walk with ruck overhead / 25 ruck rows at each cone

Out:
– MOT = Bear crawl ruck drag / 10 BBSU at each cone

Back:
– MOT = Lunge walk with ruck front carry / 25 DC flutter press at each cone

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Support the shoe drive.

COT: Prayers for safety, health, peace and trust in the Sky Q.

Hills of Tega Cay

Leave a comment

Your previous Site Q was called upon to bring back #BAOPS Pain to Alcatraz. Sadly the current Site Q conveniently scheduled YHC when he was away…hmmmm. All week YHC was planning a weinke so that his entire Bourbon Chase team would post and support their driver. Well, only 2 posted, so the remaining team members will be walking or running between transition locations. What is Tega Cay known for? Well Fishsticks created a weinke “one time” that allows all PAX to experience all the HILLS of Tega Cay, so I figured why not use that as a platform. We also welcomed a FNG!!

The Thang:

During COP discussed the weinke as staying on the parking for full hour. HA! after a short COP, mossy to pull-up bars (shocking). Each PAX held plank while each did 5 pull-ups. The FNG was the second best performing pull-ups! Mossy along the path to the intersection of Tega Cay DR and Woodhaven Dr. That is base camp. From there, there are 6 legs (hills) to explore. Run to end of Woodhaven, Timberlake, Catamaran, to the lower fire station parking lot, to the bridge, and to the bottom of the infamous hill. Do 10 merkins, then back to base for 15 LBCs. Some got 4+ miles, others 3+ miles…..it was glorious!

As for FNG, grew up in Iowa and a Hawkeyes fan…..Hayden Frye is their head coach for those non-Big10 fans. YEs Big10 is THE college football conference!

Trucker out

Just some miles with good discussion.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Oops…

THE THANG:

Planned on a version of the Tribe 1776 WOD but once we got to walking we were having good conversations so we audibilized to just getting miles with some stops every 10 minutes or so for reps of 25 of an exercise.

We got in somewhere between 2-3 miles (my watch accidentally got stopped) and did 25 OYO of squats, high pulls, swings and curls

Log Jam at the Highland Games

Leave a comment

YHC celebrated 37 trips around the sun today and could think of no better way to start it off then with my brothers at Currahee!

WARMUP: Some stretchy things
THE THANG: The PAX went to the back of the school to find the logs. Two teams carried 2 logs (aprox 100-1000 lbs each) around the school and dropped them in the field. Pax lined up on the fence line for 4 rounds of the following
– 10 merkins
– 10 Squat
– 10 Ruck Curl
– 7 Man Makers
Ruck overhead carry to failure then suitcase carry length of the field.
Rinsed and repeated this routine for 4 rounds then split up for some Highland Games style relay log flip race! Pays to be a winner!
One more round of the movement above then losing team had to carry all rucks across the field while winning team jogged back and forth until the six was in.
Each team loaded up their log (aprox 500 – 5000 lbs each) to take back around the school – rotating as needed.
Ruck back to front parking lot for ruck overhead carry to failure back to COT – no one failed!
Olaf took us out with some BROGA
MARY: BROGA
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Charity brew ruck on Thursday – Bourbon and BBQ coming back in Nov – GORUCK Star Course coming in early October (lots of interest here) – Grow Ruck Valley Forge coming later in the Fall – Cylops is HC! – Currahee should be busy with all these events coming!

Rucking with push-ups

Leave a comment

Plans had to be changed slightly as there were only 3 of us there but I still made sure we get our moneys worth of the early wake up.
We left the sandbags and ladder in the car and rucked around the school for 2.86 miles with 10 merkins every 3 minutes on the minute, total of 200 merkins. We finished up with 3 minutes of abs lab.

Great time to catch up with Mainframe and Divac.

I’ll keep the ladder handy for my next Q…

We prayed for our families, kids, patience and a great summer for everyone.

Tinsel out!

Empty Deck

Leave a comment

WARMUP: trotted around the parking lot to wait on a late site Q. Got a good 5 minute trot in and picked up Cornerstone and Divac. Passed by this strange looking group in the parking lot that were doing dumb things with sand bags. Wegmans, WWL and this dude who looked dirty…
THE THANG: 3.25 miles of rucking. We got in some irkins, squats, and dips. Cruised through an abandoned parking deck that didn’t have a single scratch on it or look like it has ever been used.
MARY: no Mary – just enjoyed a nice sunrise over the Kingsley lake
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 4th of July workout at Nafo – 1776 workout, bethel mens shelter 7/7. Last weekend for F3 dads
COT: prayers spoken and unspoken – discussion on stillness. Enjoyed the skyQ sky painting.
