Shieldlock vs Shieldlock

Konvergence for Kenya

We converged on 6/10 to with a special weinke designed by the PAX of F3 Nairobi (but “may” have been augmented by Poppins…)
Weinke

Warm up
Various, but highlight was 150 SSH in sets of 50. #CrowdPleaser

Groups of 5
Indian Run
5 burpees by the guys at the back

Dora on the football practice field
50 burpees – bear crawl
200 merkins – bear crawl
200 squats – lunge walk
300 4-count mountain climbers – frog leap a partner

Lots of bat flipping on the 4-count of the mountain climbers and the frog leaping

The guys in Kenya average a 5 mile transit to and from the AO, so a group of PAX dutifully pre-ran and post-ran 5 miles after the beatdown. YHC took a bit of flack, because it was me that spitballed that idea and then did not pre or post run. I did bring my 2.0 to the workout to try to cover the fact that I wouldn’t be running extra, but to no avail. Badlands 100% called me out.

Welcome FNGs
– Dungeon Master
– V-neck

Pre-runners:
– Badlands, Poppins, Rolloff, Maximus, Funhouse, Sasquatch, Cyclops, Beaker
– rucking: Sprocket, NakedandAfraid
Post-run:
– Badlands, Poppins, Rolloff, Maximus, Funhouse
All running
– Gears

The plan was to raise $$ to purchase a vehicle for transportation of Nairobi PAX to workouts, supporting efforts to assist in community and coordinating donations etc. The need is tremendous and our financial support is magnified in Kenya.

As of this backblast, we raised $2620. I have no idea when you’re reading this, but you could possibly still contribute and Poppins may still have T-Shirts in the back of his vehicle: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-our-kenyan-f3-brothers?member=26869695&sharetype=teams

Safari (F3 Nairobi Nantan) facetimed in at the end to offer up a prayer closing out COT.

Bo-berry day

Quick disclaimer then mosey over to front of school. Some basic warm-ups: SSHs, windmills (with appropriate amount of moaning), mtn climbers, parkers. Lap around drop off line to show everyone the .25 mile loop.

The Bo-berry mile (no clue where this name came from). 10 burpees, 15 merkins, 20 squats, run a lap. Repeat this series 4 times.

Partner up for some jump overs. P1 does a burpee while P2 holds plank. P2 then drops to 6″ hold while P1 jumps over to do burpee on other side. 10 burpees for P1 then flapjack. Repeat but this time only do 8 each partner.

Mosey over to benches under awning. 5 box jump burpees, 10 derkins, 15 dips, then run to stop sign and back. Rinse and repeat.

Mosey back for about 4 rounds of abs before times up and COT. Lots of chatter about FishStix’s form today but it was hard to really tell b/c he was usually so far in front of everyone. Great work by all this morning and thanks Headspin for chance to Q!
