I told you there was an awning

Leave a comment

It was a dark and stormy morning and all the pax of the Fort made their decisions, the red pill or the blue pill.

Most fartsacked.

YHC was prepared for the elements and taylored a workout accordingly. We first went and saved a Cindy from the rain and took her up to the awning at NaFo’s bus drop off. Then, the music was set (Octane Workouts) and the cards were shuffled.

Deck if cards where drawn and reps were done.
:heart: = overhead press
:clubs: = curl
:spades: = squat with block
:diamonds:= Merkin
:black_joker:= 10 burpees (there were 4 in the deck)

After starting with a bunch of :diamonds: we knew it was going to get spicy at the end with :heart:.

There were also lots of spectators this morning as the basketball, football and track teams were going somewhere or doing something. I’m pretty sure they thought us old men were crazy.

Finished with some Marry and took Cindy back home.

Rain and lightning doesn’t have to stop you. Like they say, it’s only bad weather if you have bad gear, or don’t use your resources 😉

COT: Rumbling Bald asked for a challenging workout, hopefully this delivered.

I struggle to push myself with an AMRAP style IronPAX workout like Thang 1. Usually I get bored and my motivation wanes after round 3. So, I switched it up and called the reps. This was to keep me motivated as much as the PAX.

D-Day – The Greatest Generation

Leave a comment

D-Day (June 6, 1944)

D-Day:
D-Day was the Allied plan to launch a massive invasion of Nazi-occupied France, opening a second front in Europe to relieve pressure on the Soviet Union in the east and hasten the defeat of Nazi Germany. The Allies aimed to break out of Normandy, liberate France, and advance toward Germany, ultimately ending the war in Europe.
Phases:
1. Airborne Assault: Shortly after midnight, thousands of paratroopers dropped behind enemy lines to disrupt German defenses.
2. Bombardment: Pre-dawn air and naval attacks targeted German coastal fortifications.
3. Amphibious Landings: From 6:30 AM, Allied troops landed on five beaches (Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, Sword). Fierce fighting occurred, especially at Omaha Beach.
4. Beachhead Establishment: By the end of the day, the Allies had secured footholds on all beaches, though not all objectives were met.

Casualties:
– Allied: About 4,414 killed on D-Day (over 10,000 casualties including wounded/missing).
– German: Estimated 4,000–9,000 killed or wounded.
– Civilians: Around 3,000 killed.

Significance:
The Normandy invasion was a turning point in World War II, marking the start of the liberation of Western Europe and placing immense pressure on German forces. Elaborate deception plans misled the Germans about the invasion’s location, and extensive planning ensured the Allies achieved surprise and established a crucial foothold in France.

WARMUP:
– Mosey around the parking lot to the cinder block storage
– Mosey with a cinderblock to the bleachers
– SSH X20
– Windmill X10

THE THANG:
Phase 1 “Overlord”
• 1944m Run = ~1.2 miles = scale up to 5 laps on the track
Phase 2 “Airborne Drop”
• 60 Coupon BO Rows
• Run ¼ mile
Phase 3 “Omaha Beach
• 100yd Bear Crawl
• 100yd Crawl Bear
• Run ¼ mile
Phase 4 “Utah Beach”
• 60 Merkins
• Run ¼ mile
Phase 5 “Gold Beach”
• 60 Coupon Swings
• Run ¼ mile
Phase 6 “Sword Beach”
• 60 Overhead Press
• Run ¼ mile
Phase 7 “Juno Beach”
• 60 Flying Squirrels
• Run ¼ mile

Maximus and Splinter were the only two to finish. Everyone else had to skip the last 1/4 mile due to time (not because we were smoked).
