Longest 11 ever

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Downdog
THE THANG:
Mosey to the school for a round of 11’s.
Breakdance merkins(double count) on one side.
Crunchy frogs(in cadence) on the other side.
Distance between points was approximately 0.2mi.
No one got through all 11. Maybe it was too far?

Thanks for the opportunity to come run with the high performance HIM’s of the Fort. I’m always impressed by the showing and the effort laid down.

MinuteMan’s soggy quads

I’m giving Spud the Q spot here since Minuteman isn’t in Slack, and since Spud and MinuteMan definitely collaborated on this morning’s helping of pain.
WARMUP: Quick indian run around the field followed by something like the “Spinal Fluid mover” which was some nice back stretching
THE THANG: Cones were set up about 10m apart through the middle of the field the long way. We lunge walked to the first cone, did 10 merkinss, 20 LBCs, 30 SSH and ran back to start. Then lunge walk to the second, repeat. All the way to the 9th or so.

Then the “circle of iron” where the guy in the middle did 20 arm curls (each side) with 10’s or 20s while everyone else alternated exercises
Round 1: Plank, dying cockroach
Round 2: Freddy Mercury, CDD
Round 3: Burpees
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: didn’t really announce much
COT: lot’s of prayers for health. Cancer is a PITA to say the least, a few praises, too

The parking lot is always smoother in the other corner

WARMUP: Some side straddle hops, windmills, imperial walkers, hillbilly walkers, Moroccan nightclubs and cherry pickers to loosen things up

THE THANG:

Used the ol’ Seconds Pro app to provide a TABATA workout with 50 seconds on 20 seconds rest ratio. After every 4th exercise we would rotate to the next corner of the parking lot. It should be noted that I used an Apple playlist and the app appeared to have undergone an update since last use… By the time I discovered the errors with both of these items we had come too far (I already pushed start) and the only option was to press forward for the next 40 minutes… We made it through a full cycle and 3/4.

Merkins
Squats
Flutter
Donkey Kick
Rotate
Calf Raises
Mountain Climbers
Side Straddle Hops
Al Gore
Rotate
Box Cutter
Plank Jacks
Lunges
Dry Dock
Rotate
Seal Jacks
High Knees
Monkey Humpers
Freddie Mercury
Rinse and Repeat

Things learned:
-the update changed the default voice from an Australian lady to a deep voiced male… not as fun to be told to do monkey humpers by a deep voiced male
-Apple includes U2’s One as a 90’s Rock/Alternative Essential, and while a great song, it is not terribly motivating… however it is very long…
-the update also messed up the volume of the coach voice anyway, so everyone just had to listen to me yelling over U2 anyway…

COT: It happened… we were all there…
