STL Teams

Leave a comment

Chilly morning so mosey over to medical offices behind bank at top of Dave Gibson to warm-up. Break out into teams of 4 or 5.
Laps are up Dave Gibson, down 160 to Arby’s, right into Earthfare lot, right on road that returns to start.
Hills are down Dave Gibson up to GHES and then back to start.
As a team complete the following as efficiently as possible:
6 Laps, 6 Hills, 50 Burpees, 100 HR Merkins, 150 Bomb-Jacks, 200 Mtn Climbers.
Every PAX had to run one loop and one hill. From there it was up to the team to figure out how to divide and conquer.
The goal was to get through this the first time and then challenge the teams to figure out how to improve their plan in order to reduce their overall time. Probably due to poor communication on YHC part, we ran short on time to complete the second round. Teams completed as much as time allowed on second round and then returned to COT. This was Wipeout’s second work-out so we went over the 5 core principals and then a quick summary of the 3Fs.

Lots of 2nd F events in the newsletter. Get out and participate!
Thanks Badlands for the Q opportunity!

Sharknado Again?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We ran 1/4 mile and did the usual except for SSH’s they suck and Hill Billy Walkers are better.
THE THANG: Sharknado was called again because I’m not original and couldn’t think of anything else to do, so twice in a month seemed fine to me. Also I know how much Trucker loves it. The hand release Merkins where just for Cyclops. Here’s how it went.

10 Burpees / Run down Hill and back to top
20 Hand Release Merkins / Run down and back up
20 Big Boy Sit-ups/ Run down and back up
20 Monkey Humpers / Run down and back up
20 Scorpion Dry Docks / Run down and back up

Goal was to do entire cycle 5 times, most made it to three complete rounds. This shut up the mumble chatter very quickly as we got 3 miles in just three rounds.

MARY: Returned to COT for 5 minutes of stretching as I try to do at end of all my Q’s.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dam To Dam Golf Tournament is Friday December 9th at 10:00AM Waterford Golf Club in Rock Hill. Contact Stang with any questions.
COT It was done.
