Blast from the Past with Cash

Leave a comment

Well, YHC was thoroughly unprepared for this today. I failed to secure a Q and then got distracted taking the trash out that I forgot the flag too. At least when I realized I didn't have a Q on schedule, I thought I'd go back into the wayback machine and see what what the first workout I did. Well, the backblasts don't seem to go back that far, so I went as far back as I could which was 9/24/2020. This was the day that we renamed The Coop to Ring of Fire in honor of Jay Griggs, Cash, who passed away from cancer at the age of 51. In honor of that day, @U5P2KHLJ2 lead 31 PAX in a workout dedicated to him. So, we decided to recreate it this morning.

WARMUP: Mosey around the Nafo parking lot to the ROTC building. SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Merkins and a few stretches

THE THANG: In honor of Cash's age of 51, we had 3 cards at the bottom of the hill. Card 1 – Merkins and Squats. Card 2- Carolina Dry Docs and American Hammers. Card 3- Alternating Lunges and Shoulder Taps. The mission was to complete 51 reps in whatever combination of those exercises you wanted to. After each card, run to the top of the hill. Complete 10 Curls and 10 OH Press. Rinse and Repeat.

Most Pax got through at least 2 rounds and some 3. For those who did 2, you completed 426 reps 6x up the hill. for those who did 3, it was 639 reps and 9x up the hill. It was a sweat fest.

MARY: No time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, Stuff the Bus, Watch the Replay of the State of the Nation on YouTube.

COT: Prayers for discernment of opportunities and selecting the best one, for healing and dealing with children's health, for remembering the past, but not letting it consume us.

WARMUP:
Dark Helmet on Q for the 1st half:

THE THANG:
5 Burpees performed on the light pole on the left side and 10 Burpees on the right side light pole.
The mode of transportation would change for each movement:

Mosey to the top of the hill and Switzer
You had to be there for the message.
Jog down to the bottom of the hill for instructions.
Sprint your tail off to the top, jog down, perform 10 merkins and do an exercise while you wait.
Repeat.
Follow instructions for sprint/job, walk instructions to the top.
To the field again.
20 V-Ups, 20 American Hammers

NMM: From Dark Helmet:
Here's what I will tell you, no one was a huge fan of the wounded dogs but the hill sprints on TCD Hill were the real crowd pleaser…total shutdown of mumblechatter and several bodily functions. We were also treated to a number of PAX sightings as we went. I recall Shady, Pauly D, Tesh and Spike making a pass through. They looked miserable. That's good training for BRR, which is at least 72% misery. The rest is a loose emulsion of running and fellowship.

MARY: Worked in throughout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pints & Padres family cookout June 21 at 5:30pm at The Print Shop.
Step up and serve at The Bethel Men's Shelter.
COT: There are a lot of things going well, but there are a lot of challenges around The Fort. Don't wait for someone else to do it. Reach out to a man and share burdens. As has been said before: A burden shared is half the burden, a joy shared is twice the joy.
