Ian Spawned Off A Sharknado As It Left Tega Cay

WARMUP: Moraccian Nightclubs, Overhead Claps, Peter Parkers, Hill Billy Walkers, Cherry Pickers and Sumo Squats all in reps from 7 – 10.

THE THANG: Today seemed like a appropriate time to bring back out a workout that is a real ass kicker that I haven’t done in awhile. It’s called Sharknado. The running part is meant to be done in a relatively flat parking lot but since Alcatraz is where real men post I figured we needed to throw some Tega Cay hills in the mix. We started on a street in a neighborhood but after several dogs started barking at us running back and forth on the hill we decided to Omaha over to a even steeper hill with less houses. Here’s how Sharknado goes

Start with 10 burpees followed by a run up the hill and back.
Next 20 Hand Release Merkins run up and back
20 Big Boy Sit Ups run up and back
20 Monkey Humpers run up and back
20 Scorpion Dry Docks run up and back

Goal is try to make it through 5 rounds. 2 achieved 5 rounds the others completed 4 rounds and some change.
This workout sucks and will test even the fittest of Pax. Total of 2.5 miles of hills.

MARY: We returned to COT for 10 minutes of stretching which we found out Fishstix needs much more of in his life. There was much moaning and groaning for this segment of my Q.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bourbon Tasting, Skeet Shoot and Golf Tournament are all coming up for D2D fundraiser.
COT: Prayers for some Pax injured while running Bourbon Chase this weekend and their safe return home. Prayers for Pax in Florida and others we don’t know that got devastated from Ian. Let us be a huge support for them.
Thanks again for the Q stick fellas. Time for a nap.

The Bushwood Gamble

While I tagged the entire PAX from both AOs, the BB is only for Bushwood.
WARMUP: Essentially non-existent. We ran to the bottom of the hill on the backside of the school. We then NUR’d about 75 yards back up the hill then ran back down to the benches for 30 Derkins. We then did 15 pull-ups, ran to the stop sign, NUR’d back for 15 more pull-ups & planked for the 6.
THE THANG: Run back to the parking lot for the deck of cards:
For the 1st-Timers, each suit is an exercise and each card represents the reps (Ace=14).
Hearts: Jump Squats
Diamonds: Diamond Merkins
Spades: Carolina Dry Docks
Clubs: V-Ups
For the other 4 cards, ya know, the ones that have the ads or some other nonsense on them, those were 25 American Hammers I/C.
MARY: Included in the above.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read the NYT article, watch (record) Fox News at midnight tonight for additional F3 sharing. Be grateful for this brotherhood and welcome the FNGs.
COT: You had to be there.
