Gear WO @ The Colosseum

Leave a comment

Read some backblasts and decided to bring some toys to the Colosseum for all the PAX to enjoy as a means to change it up a bit.
WARMUP: Moseyed to the loop at the front of the school where gear stations were set-up. Performed some SSH and a few burpees and then made sure PAX understood the exercises at each station. Explanation done, moseyed around to the back half of the loop, performed some SSH and a few burpees, explained the format, then we started to work.

THE THANG:
Partner Up. Partner 1 attends a station and performs the exercise until Partner 2 relieves him. Partner 2 runs the half loop, but before re-entering the exercise area must complete 3 burpees.
Exercises below:
Reverse Lunges w/ 20lb weighted vest

Pyramid on a string

Leave a comment

3 started out “bad idea” Saturday with a pre-run at 530. Rolloff shot for the stars (collusseum) and landed on the moon (IR). Fishstix decided a pre- ruck would be in his best interest (expected the Q to bring a moderate).

Rain started picking up right at 630

WARMUP: disclaimer and yog up near pullup bars. Settle in under the cedar tree like a bunch of wild animals trying to stay out of the rain. IC exercises including 16 reps of SSH, WM, IW, MNC, Shoulder taps, Mtn Climbers

THE THANG: Run to windjammer park and back with stops every 1/4 mile for squats and merkins – pyramid style. Al Gore until 6 gets in then begin exercises reps- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5

Added 10 burpees at windjammer park for good measure

MARY: more burpees, MNC, IWs etc

ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter

COT: yup

Lots of 6-7 references this morning – fishstix is wondering what the kids are gonna do when they learn about 6-9. It was that kind of morning…

Audible at O-Dark-Thirty

Leave a comment

Vuvuzela sent a text around 1:30am saying he was still up and wouldn’t be able to Q. Since I was already covering site Q duties anyway, I did what any site Q should do when you have a no show Q—step up and Q yourself but I was able to use Vuvuzela route he provided.

The Thang (Run):
Route took us:

– Down Munn Rd
– To Harris St
– Right into Sutton Mills
– Crossed Sutton Rd
– Down Suttonview Rd
– Into Masons Bend
– And back to home base

Clocked roughly 4–5 miles at a solid, conversational pace.

PSA: Running AOs require constant awareness. Too many distracted drivers out there. We can’t control them, but we can control spacing, visibility, and keeping our heads on a swivel. Shady and Tiller can attest.

COT: Talked briefly about stepping up when plans change. Leadership doesn’t wait for perfect conditions—it responds when needed. That’s how trust is built and how groups stay strong.

Grateful for men who show up, adapt, and get the work in—no excuses.
