WARMUP: we listened to the disclaimer from Poppins
THE THANG: we waddled to Sutton and back and discussed the 53+ miles Maximus did during the 12 hr Hagler event. The 31 miles YHC did during the Spartan Ultra. And the table that Badlands wrestled with that broke his knee. There was an Anchor man flyby.

Photobombed Selfie

Attendance was light today. Sawdust is still nursing an injury, so he does his own thing. But it is important to point out that he is still posting! Maximus and Mainframe have signed themselves up for some next level stupid this weekend. So their plan was to stretch and move around a little to stay on taper. That left YHC and Photobomb for the standard Ranch content of the day.

WARMUP:
Moving warmup.
– Mosey to small drop off circle and complete 25 SSH in cadence and 10 windmill in cadence
– Mosey past the playground to the large parking lot. Complete 10 Imperial Walkers in cadence and stretch out the hamstrings (was a little tight after Kitchen Sink)

THE THANG:
Mosey to the back of the Home bleachers.
Ladder:
– 9 pull-ups on the bleachers
– Run to the second light pole on the right in the parking lot
– 1 rep of either a flying squirrel with a plank jack (YHC and bad shoulder) or a Burpee (PhotoBomb)
– Run back to the bleachers and continue the ladder series

Had some shenanigans planned for the field, but those involved some things not ideal for Photobomb’s back issues, so we audibled.

Mosey back to the starting parking lot where we found the rest of the PAX in some strange positions. We stopped short because we didn’t want to get too close.

100 squats together. One guy squats while the other ran the parking lot. 2 laps each and then we switched to a bear crawl chase. One PAX bear crawls while the other runs the loop until they catch the bear crawler and they switch. Remember the bad shoulder, yeah dumb idea.

MARY:
Took turns calling Mary for the final 5 minutes

Thank you Mainframe for the opportunity. One of my favorite AOs!!

Grab ‘em by the ears

WARMUP: ran around big parking lot. Max was right that when you say “he won’t run far, he has boots on”, that’s a bit of a lightning bolt to make you want to run further and faster.

We stopped for round 1 of 11×33 paying tribute to our boy Cha-Ching. 11 burpees, 33 SSH OYO. Kept running back to COT for round 2 of 11×33. Rucks on, sandbags on, 10 squats OYO.
THE THANG: Picked up our kb and headed towards the stop light. Dropped the gear for 20 in / erkins (incline merkins). Grabbed the rucks for 20 shoulder presses.

Headed down the hill with all our gear and stopped half way for 20 tricep extensions (dropped sandbag, kept ruck on). Left kb and put the sandbag on for the bottom of the hill. Bottom of hill with ruck on, AMRAP the sandbag for shoulder presses. Back up the hill to the kb spot.

Drop the sandbag, grab the kb (by the ears I guess) for front shoulder lifts – AMRAP. Reason for the AMRAPs is because we wanted to max out and guys had different weights…and different stopping points.

Gear up and back up the hill to our incline merkin spot at the light. After 20, gear up to the school entrance for the last stop. Drop all the gear, ruck overhead for another 20 shoulder presses. Back to COT to drop the gear, then a lap around the small lot…with round 3 of 11×33. (We did have at least 4 former 1stF Qs present so why not…and then 9 other beasts, all with 1stF leadership qualities and/or current or previous site Q roles.)
MARY: Mixed it up and replaced core work with stretching let in a rotating fashion (core principle #4).
ANNOUNCEMENTS: thanksgiving convergence is on…thanksgiving. Upcoming December CSAUP- be there and get a team.

Do difficult and uncomfortable things! Life is going to throw these at you – why not prepare yourself!
COT: CSPAN style because we all need this.
