Lucky 13s

Typical warm humid July morning in Ft Mill.  Thirteen men posted at Sweep the Leg and this was my first time as Q for this type of running workout.

The route is a one-mile distance using the out and back style: Run out to Gold Hill Elementary school, where the flag pole is ½ mile from the parking lot and run back (total is one mile).

At each ¼ mile along the route, there is a sheet with exercises to do.  See table below.  Count 15 for all exercises.

4 Amer. Hammers Carolina Dry Docks Lunges Plank Jacks

We had a few runners complete all four miles.

Notes: The one hill on the return leg was not pleasant after the first mile.  Good practice for the upcoming SWEATI.

Keep Cash and his family in your prayers.

The Kettlebell Tolls for Thee, at Cannonball

It was a misty morn as 14 gathered to sling kettlebells at Cannonball, including FNG “Silent Bob”, who was EH’d at Trunk or Treat by O’Reilly just this past Sunday.  YHC sort of forgot I was on Q till yesterday, so props for the promo from Two Ferns.  Post disclaimer for the FNG, here’s how it went down:

Warm-o-rama

  • 20 SSH IC
  • 15 Imperial Walkers, IC
  • 10 Windmills, IC
  • 10 Merkins, IC
  • 20 Moroccan Night Clubs, IC
  • 200 year walk with kettlebell held high, around the parking lot

The Thang, Part I

We split the group into two teams of 7 so we could divide and conquer 3 boards:

Board I – all with 25lb kettlebell

  • single arm curls, 10 per arm
  • Goblet squats, 10 (although group 2 did 15)
  • around the body partner pass, 15 revolutions each direction
  • take walking lap around the parking lot with kettlebell held high with one arm
  • KB swings, 10 IC
  • KB Merkins, 10 each arm
  • KB lunges, 10 per leg
  • take walking lap around the parking lot with kettlebell held high with one arm

Board II:

  • Tiny Tim (75ish lb KB) deadlifts, 10
  • Alternating shoulder press ladder, 1-5
  • take walking lap around the parking lot with kettlebell held high with one arm
  • KB calf raises, x30
  • 2 handed triceps extensions, x20
  • Single arm chest press, 10 per arm
  • take walking lap around the parking lot with kettlebell held high with one arm

Board III:

  • 10 burpees, (without KB)
  • Flutters with KB, 15 IC
  • Freddie Mercurys, 15 IC
  • KB American hammers, 15 IC
  • take walking lap around the parking lot with kettlebell held high with one arm

The Thang, part II

  • People’s chair with KB, guys on the end do 3 leaping jump squats
  • BttW (or People’s chair mod), guys on the end do something I can’t remember
  • take walking lap around the parking lot with kettlebell held high with one arm
    • on the last leg, KB Lieutenant Dans (about 30 yards)

The Thang part IV:

  • Bear crawl relay, about 25 yards…not sure which team won
    • started by dragging the KB, then Omaha’d to simple bear crawl

For a non-running post Nessie workout we still got 1.4 miles in.  Prayers for healing and New River Women’s retreat.  Welcome to FNG “Silent Bob”.  It was an honor to lead.

F3 CrowsNest – October 21, 2019

Crow’s Nest (10/21/2019)

We had 11 HIM at the Poop Deck.

Warm Up
From the parking lot we moseyed to the west side of the school. At each light pole for a total of 4 light poles we performed 5 burpees.

SSH – 25 IC
Windmill – 10 IC
Cotton Pickers – 10 IC
MNC – 15 IC
Hillbillies – 15 IC
Imperial Walker – 15 IC
LLS Squat – 10 IC
Mountain Climber Merkin – 10 IC
Downward dog to Honeymooner

The Thang
I used the light poles to my advantage on the next routine. This time from the first light pole we would do 10 merkins – 20 monkey humpers – 40 mountain climbers (count each leg). Then run to the last light pole and perform the same routine. From the last light pole we ran to the second light pole and so forth keeping the same number of exercises.

So at the very end you should have completed 100 merkins 200 squats and 400 mountain climbers.

Mini Dora
We partnered up. While one partner ran we performed 50 big boy sit ups, 100 flutter kicks and 150 lbc.

Mary
Exercises included dancing chilcut, plank jacks, Freddy Mercuries and dying cockroaches.

Circle of Trust
Prayers for Survey Says and WhiteSnake’s children who have been battling an illness.

Prayers for Qbert as he and his family go through the adoption process.

Prayers for a co-worker of Radar’s whose daughter is in drug rehabilitation.

Announcements
F3 Lake Wylie CSAUP is Saturday, October 26. Check out the backblast here.

Aye,
Sean Corcoran (RADAR)
