Ashley Cummings and Nasty Gloves

Leave a comment

Great to see DaVinci and Tinsel back out in the gloom but before we started warm up they stepped off to get some miles in and discuss recent design innovations in exterior illumination.

We did a couple of core warm ups then did a lap of catch me if you can. P1 does 5 HR merkins while P2 travels with both bags. P1 sprints to catch then swap. Always a quick way to get warm.

We moved to far side of field for main work. Crazy 8 which is 8 rounds of 8 reps of 8 exercises. 8 exercises were swings, merkin w/ruck pull thru, curls, lunges w/ruck overhead, bent over rows, mountain climbers, squats, and flutters w/press. Somehow merkins w/pull thrus are now forever to be called Ashley Cummings at Currahee. Show up and we’ll try to explain. Around the 2nd round fishstix offered Cicada some extra gloves he pulled out of somewhere. Cicada spent the next 2 rounds trying to determine what smelled like raw sewage, then the next 2 rounds getting over the dry heaves. Either fishstix used these to bear crawl thru the Golden Corral run off or used them to harvest choice meat from the TC deer culling. Pretty impressive for a set of gloves to funk up the outdoors. After throwing them away we finished the WOD and cashed out with 8 man-makers. Then we did various movements across the field: bear crawl, oh carry, fireman carry, and backwards oh carry. Recover, recover.

Back to COT. Great group this morning. Lots of mumblechatter helped the time fly by. Thx for the opportunity Sprocket.

OTB Acceleration project…you get the idea

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ran over to footloose lot for warmup and introduced first 2 q source foundations. 1. Disruption 2. Language
THE THANG: Ran to church parking lot at the bottom of the hill where we talked about foundation #3: group (which is what our little workout group is).

Crab cakes was then nice enough to relive the glory days with his infamous rugby sprints (which he led) and exercises. So an oldie but a goodie. He led this for about 10 min and then as if this was tee’d up transitioned the lead to Libbity Bibbity. YHC took the opportunity to talk about foundation #4: LDP. LDP is about great leaders developing new leaders.

LB took a few rounds, then handed off to Sprocket for the same lead on a few rounds.

YHC took the q back and led the group to every set of stairs he could find in a 1/4 mile radius, give or take, which is 3 different sets. A little bit of Mary and stretching as we waited for the 6, then headed back to COT.
MARY: Twister broke out his gas pumper.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes, but kept this short
COT: YHC covered foundation #5: Preparedness. Remember that we are an organization OF leaders rather than an organization WITH leaders.

Dis-rup-tion

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Q source foundation point 1 – Disruption
THE THANG: saddled up with rucks, one 40 lb sandbag, one 60 lb sandbag. Off to the races for a few miles and smiles.

We took off towards the school, through the kid pickup line, into the back of the school, then way up the bus back road to Dam road. Then all the way back for 2.5 miles.

On our adventure we discussed the Disruption socratics and Spurs. Talked about what leaders are and what they aren’t. Shared GrowRuck stories, practiced failure in how to, and how not, to transfer a sandbag, and went over the game plan for Wooden Leg’s upcoming VQ!
MARY: not today…ran back with sandbags instead
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes…newsletter
COT: of course
