The Impossible Mile

Leave a comment

20 men rolled out of bed and got better this morning. There were ruckers, runners, and bootcampers. Conditions were pleasant (44 and clear). Here’s what we did:

The Thang
“The Impossible Mile Challenge”
– 1 Lap Burpee Broadjump
– 1 lap Lunge Walk
– 1 lap Bear Crawl
– 1 lap Run

<@UGU3XR5RP> finished first and thus was crowned “King of the Ring.”

NMM
We take on these challenges to prove our strength. On the surface, this was a physical beast. But during the challenge, it was apparent that this was just as much mental. No one chooses to do these exercises on their own. Candidly, it’s dangerous, difficult, and dare I say, impossible. But there’s a lesson in the face of challenges: will you quit when it gets hard or will you dig deep and push through? Whatever it takes to keep going, do that. If it means taking a rest and going again, do that. You must push past your perceived limitations to find the strength within. You have what it takes. Keep going.

Aye!

Charons’ Boat & Schwing stuff

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, 5 Burpees, imperial squat-walkers, 4 Burpee, Moroccan nightclub-Calf raises, 3 Burpee, cherry picker, 2 Burpee‘s, hillbilly walkers, 1 Burpee

THE THANG: tried dragging Charon‘s boat 1.0 (pictures in site- Q channel) and quickly realized it was too devastating to the landscape.
Minor disassembly turned this into 2- Man heavy-ass-coupons.

Two stops were made on the way to the playground (at the swinging chairs).

First stop, 10 Lieutenant Dan’s IC,

second stop 1- legged LBC complex (LBC, pickle pointer, cross elbow/knee… Then flapjack) 15 IC each

At the playground, Dora Work using the “Schwings”:
100 knee-tuck Merkins, 200 leaning jump squats, 250 inverted Rows (all on the swings)

Meanwhile… Partner, PAX runs up a slide, slides back down, 3 Burpee’s, and lap around the playground to switch

After this, we picked up afore-mentioned heavy-ass-coupons, made 1 stop on the way back to the flag to do 10 more Lt. Dan IC

MARY: bro(Y)oga for ~10 min.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: QvQ, cleanup, Convergence, Jaegar

COT: held… Prayers for marriages, communication, and recovery from injuries.

Charon’s Boat 2.0 will return in a safer (to the landscape) form in the near future

DORA Rules at GC

Leave a comment

YHC was honored to be given the Q stick at Golden Corral by Half Shell today. This represented my first trip back in the gloom at 100% since dealing with a post D2D bronchitis and my spirits were excited about the opportunity. While not yet Springlike weather, the Pax were quickly sweaty from the downpainment on the day.

After seeing a post by IJ, I decided to maximize the DORA concept at GC today for encouragement, challenge and candor of a partner workout.

WARMUP:
Mosey to Oil and Lube shop
Windmills x 10
IW x 10
MNC x 10
Monkey Humpers x 10
Mtn Climbers x 10
SSH x 10

Let’s go!
THE THANG:

Partner up and run around HT for Group Dora stopping 5 times for:
5 burpees

Sprints, light poles and burpees

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mosey to the far parking lot at the end of the school.

Exercises in cadence included:
SSH
Merkins
Low slow squats
People’s chair with Moroccan night clubs
Hillbilly walkers
Imperial walkers
Windmills
Produce pickers
Peter Parker’s

THE THANG: mosey to the the hill
An exercise was called in cadence at every light pole – at varying numbers of reps – YHC called sprint and pax sprinted to the next light pole. This took place to the top of the hill and then back down – a total of 20 light poles were “visited”. PAX took turns calling exercises on the way down. Leadership is best when shared.

Mosey back to basketball courts with a combo of lunge walks and bear crawls across.

MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: you bet – read your newsletter
COT: remains the 5th core principle. Be thankful for all we’ve been given.

Thanks for the call, Barkley. :eye:

Look at that Hill

Leave a comment

Ran around lots of string of pearls.

Tried to climb every hill possible in a reverse bear crawl

Worked a good deal on side lunges, and moving around with ease, finished with a Jack Webb that the brothers tried to skip, but joined us eventually

Always an honor to lead a group of men I respect so much.
