Buckets returned

Leave a comment

The buckets of pain returned by popular demand and were loved by all. Three corners of the parking lot had a nice selection from which to choose pain. Each bucket had a load of tickets and once a ticket was pulled the pain was announced. The running in between was especially enjoyable as it was reported that we ended up with around 1.5 miles for the morning. Sweet.

We broke into two groups for some nice fellowship opportunities but with all the running Peta and I didn’t get to catch up on much.

Appreciate the invite Aye

WARMUP: A lap around the parking lot with SSH, windmills, tappy taps, MNC, and LBAC
THE THANG: Started with 7s in front of the Indian restaurant. We used the dry patch under the trees by the pet groomer with one BBSU and 6 burpees in the cloud of curry and garam masala. Mostly running but bear crawls were mandatory for 1/2 of the way back to the trees.
We then hoofed it to the fountain for 11s. On the bottom we started with 1 CDD. We ran up the hill to the second driveway of the fire station for 10 dips. Everyone finished!
Time was running short so after a walking 10-count or two “All Out” was called to the traffic circle on the other end of the apartment complex. Plank until the 6 and 10-count when everyone was in position. Mosey back to CoT and DONE!
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Things are happening all over the Fort. Do them.
COT: When we got back to the flag the rain was pouring harder than during the workout. Senator Tressel had to skedaddle as is often the case and we bid him adieu. For the rest of us, YHC expounded on the 2nd core principle, that we are open to all men, and ended in a prayer that the men we had there would go out and make the world a better place without agenda.

This is another workout I pulled from the archives (GC, June 30, 2015). Back then we had 11 at the workout and it looks like only about 4 are still active in F3 – too bad. Today’s group included some of the core Golden Corralers who I see week after week so I expect to see them in the next 9 years. We had a dedicated group who worked hard this morning and it’s always a pleasure to lead them. Thanks for the invite Half Shell!

THE THANG:

Mosey to grace Church parking lot for the real Thang. Board of Pain had 7 exercises. Do all exercises and run a lap. 1st round had 20 reps, then 30 reps, then 40 reps, and finished with 10 reps.

Senator Tressel’s alarm went off at 5:49am, he said “good bye” and began to leave. YHC thought this was odd, but knew he had already completed the workout so no harm no foul.

Timing was a bit off, so we did one last round of 10 reps of each exercise, then moseyed back to CoT for some Mary.
MARY: Flutters, Box Cutters and Hello Dolly

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Burpee Fest this Saturday, Bethel Mens Shelter, Jaeger coming up!
