STL Teams

Leave a comment

Chilly morning so mosey over to medical offices behind bank at top of Dave Gibson to warm-up. Break out into teams of 4 or 5.
Laps are up Dave Gibson, down 160 to Arby’s, right into Earthfare lot, right on road that returns to start.
Hills are down Dave Gibson up to GHES and then back to start.
As a team complete the following as efficiently as possible:
6 Laps, 6 Hills, 50 Burpees, 100 HR Merkins, 150 Bomb-Jacks, 200 Mtn Climbers.
Every PAX had to run one loop and one hill. From there it was up to the team to figure out how to divide and conquer.
The goal was to get through this the first time and then challenge the teams to figure out how to improve their plan in order to reduce their overall time. Probably due to poor communication on YHC part, we ran short on time to complete the second round. Teams completed as much as time allowed on second round and then returned to COT. This was Wipeout’s second work-out so we went over the 5 core principals and then a quick summary of the 3Fs.

Lots of 2nd F events in the newsletter. Get out and participate!
Thanks Badlands for the Q opportunity!

THE THANG:
Moseyed up the Massey St Hill to the parking lot.
Counted off into 3 groups to engage in a DORA style workout.
50 Merkins, 100 BBs, & 150 squats per pax in your team. As the group completes the exercise, a pax runs down the hill and back. Swap out till all reps are done.

Moseyed over to the parking lot behind Springs Global on McCammon St for another DORA style. Maintaining the same group,
25 half burpees (down to merkin and back up stopping at the squat position as 1 rep), 50 Mike Tyson’s, 100 LBCs. 1 pax from each group runs to the end of the parking lot and back. Swap out till reps are completed.

Headed over to the parking lot with the big wall by Pike for some wall sits and merkins. Lined up on the wall, and from the outside in, each pax would do 10 merkins then back on to the wall. Once we got to the center, repeat going back to the ends.

Leave a comment

One Mile Warm Up to Dave Gibson, across 160 to Emory and around to Brayden Pkwy. Sun 6 pace for the front men.

Hill Suicides
Start at base of Brayden hill, run up, run down.
At Median Break
10, 20, 30 Merkins/Flutters
10, 20, 30 Curb Dips/American Hammers
10, 20, 30 CDD’s/Hello Dollies

Do your ten at the first median, back to the bottom. Then twenty at the second median, and back to the bottom. Hit the top at 160, 30 reps, back to bottom.

After three laps, head back to Earth Fare for COT. Looped the building to make it an even four miles before calling it. Five 8 Count Bodybuilder’s to end.

Strong work by all. The Brayden hill is unforgiving.

Announcements
THERE WILL BE MEAT at the bourbon tasting on 11/18
This week we’ve also got Change Order’s Veteran’s Day clay shoot – 11/11. Hit up CO for more details.
Chad 1000x is on Thursday at S2S.

Prayers/Praises
Prayers for Band Camp traveling for work. Safe travels, brother.
Praise for Poppins’ leadership at the Bethel men’s shelter
Prayers/praise for our attentiveness as fathers and husbands.
Praise for the new faces today.

NMM
Olaf’s prayer hit me right between the eyes. He dropped a timely prayer request after a weekend of distracted parenting. How much presence would my kids perceive that I give, if I asked them? Am I giving them all of me, or only some of me?

Thanks for the tap today, Badlands.

Punch List out.
