Thank you to all the PAX who posted this morning. It’s always appreciated when people come out to the Stockade/Chupacabra and especially on a day where we have some significant weather coming. Always humbled and honored when anyone shows up to one of my workouts.

During COT we offered up Prayers for healing, and guidance and praises for the support and brotherhood of F3.

Until next time!

Mosey to side of Indian restaurant for 11s on the picnic tables (derkins & dips)

Mary– pass the baton among the pax

Mosey home

COT: Great to lead the pax in place of Cake Boss whose on IR (but still posting in the Gloom for some light work and 2nd F — way to go brother)!

My first workout with Hayden Fry who smartly waited to make his first post at The Fort instead of Chicago before he moved south. Great to have you on board!

Vuvu can’t decide whether to run or bootcamp so he got a little of both, walking with CB, then running all over the Gloom to find us, then joining for the final 15. Nice work!

Prayers for Slapshot and his M and family as they navigate unfortunate health news for is MiL. TAPs, brother.

Thanks to the pax for pushing throughout and especially for posting. I can’t do this thing we call life alone, and it’s invaluable to know you’re always there.

Uphill NURing and lots of webs

We had 11 Bootcampers and 2 runners, quick disclaimer before getting into the warm up.

Mosey to fire station
20 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
15 LSS IC
15 MNC IC

Mosey to pull-up bars and plank. Waterfall of 5 pull-ups, and then back down the waterfall.

Mosey to bottom of Tara Tea and partner up.
DORA
NUR uphill and run back while partner completes
50 – merkins
100- overhead claps
150 – LBCs
200 – flutters

Back to the baseball field for some core, legs and upper body webs:

CORE
Captain Thor, 1 big boy sit-up – 4 American hammers, run 10 yards; 2 BBSU – 8 AH, run 10 yards; 3 BBSU – 12 AH, run 10 yards… repeat until completion of 10 BBSU – 40 AH
Total: 55 BBSU and 220 AH

Take a lap around the field.

LEGS
1 squat – 4 calf raises, run 20 yards; 2 squats – 8 calf raises, run 20 yards; 3 squats – 12 calf raises, run 20 yards… repeat until completion of 10 squats – 40 calf raises.
Total: 55 squats – 220 calf raises

Take a lap around the field.

UPPER BODY
Lots of mumble chatter while explaining this one, no running in between series this time
1 merkin – 4 shoulder taps; 2 merkins – 8 shoulder taps; 3 merkins – 12 ST; took a brake after 5-20, then another brake after 7-28 and YHC had already lost count and whining came into the game so as a crowd pleaser we repeated 7-28… finished up with 10 merkins – 40 shoulder taps.
Total: 62 merkins – 248 shoulder taps

We had a couple of minutes to go back to COT with smoked shoulders and Badlands thought it was a good idea to keep doing merkins, add 10 IC to the count. 9 for YHC, apparently my watch was out of whack and alerted me it was 0730.

Great work by everyone.

Announcements:
9/11 WOD at NaFo on 9/5 starting at 0600, bring sandbags and rucks.

10 year anniversary festivities start officially on Wednesday with someone named Zima at the PAINtheon games.

Final countdown happening on 9/10

Prayers and praises were lifted.

Tinsel and Kermit out…
