Blimps at the GC

Leave a comment

Short disclaimer then jog around back of center for warm-ups. Normal stuff: SSHs, imperial Walker’s, low slow squats, merkins, Peter Parkers, Parker Peter’s, and MNCs. Mosey to back hill for accumulating BLIMPS. 5 Burpees, 10 Lunges, 15 Imperial Walker’s, 20 Merkins, 25 Plank Jack’s, and 30 Squats. Start at bottom with 5 burpees, run to firestation for 10 donkey kicks, run back to start. 5 burpees, 10 lunges, run to station for 10 donkey kicks, run back to start. Repeat adding letter each round. Pollo had to duck out due to asthma flair up but it took us a while to find him. So good lesson to always pay attention to all PAX. After we got that squared away back to blimps. I think we figured out how to count the imperial Walker’s by the 5th round. Finished up back at fountain so we bear crawled one loop around it. Jog back toward cars stopping at other traffic circle. Partner up for 20 partner merkins with hand slap in-between then 20 partner big boys with hand slap at top. Jog back to cars for a few rounds of Mary, except somehow Autobobn thinks Merkins qualify as Mary. But all good, recover and COT. Lots of sickness going around and PAX coming back from being out. So prayers for health right now. Thx for the opportunity 1/2 shell!

King of the Ring I

Leave a comment

14 Kings at Ring of Fire this morning.
– <@U02JMD0EKS8> was the King of the Ring today. You may now bow to his magnificence.
– <@UGU3XR5RP> came in a not so close 2nd, but he did manage to outsprint me at the end and cause me to perform a couple extra exercises at the end. And by exercises, I mean dry heaves.
– <@U5EKTLC5C> prepared us all to be underwhelmed, but not by his mumblechatter.
– <@UMRNJ46AW> had some hazy recollections of a Slayer concert with <@UGYDCTRST> (not present), but with as many Monster Energy Drinks as he has before a concert his blood pressure increases to a level he’s doing good to be standing much less remembering who attended what.
– And speaking of what Anchorman called “Cookie Monster” metal, <@U076RS8F1DG> had his signature tunes playing for the duration.
– Don’t know if you’ve noticed lately, but <@U0603USPHAS> keeps trimming down and is looking strong out there.
– <@UST30T7FF> represented the Pre-spect crowd well, and even gave me a butt pat, so… you know… I may not have been the King today, but I still feel like a winner.
– <@U01JUGK82TY> and <@U5KHMNAG4> were disappointed but unsurprised at the lack of leg exercises in this workout.
– <@UN6PTD007> was gracious enough to hold back and let a couple of us feel good about our performance.
– <@U079NTF8AP8> is more of a 3 sets of 10 guy.
– <@U087GQFA2FJ> was the WarBaby today and held his own with a bunch of guys that are old enough to be his dad…

This is my report. You could dress it up like Baby Yoda and take it trick or treating in July, but it still wouldn’t get more strange looks than you would if you dispute the truth imbued herein.

Honoring 809

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SWIMS
– 20 SSH (dc)
– 10 WM
– 15 IW
– 15 MNC
– 15 Strawberry Pickers
THE THANG:
Today we honored York Co. Detective Mike Doty, Badge No. 809, who’s End of Watch (EOW) was 7 years ago today, 1/17/2018.

Background:
York County deputies responded to a domestic violence call shortly after 10 p.m. on Jan. 15, 2018. Dispatchers were told the suspect, Christian Thomas McCall, was “actively assaulting” a woman at the home. By the time deputies arrived, McCall had left the home, sparking a massive manhunt.

Hours later, McCall fired multiple shots, striking a K-9 officer. Dozens of law enforcement units responded to the scene with McCall managing to evade police until 3:30 a.m. More shots were fired at that time. Doty and two other York County deputies were hit.

Doty died from his injuries at a Charlotte hospital on January 17. The other injured officers, https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/york-county-sergeant-returns-to-work-nearly-a-year-following-deadly-ambush-shooting/275-45f8eb8a-09b6-4069-b98a-5f4f3489c768, Sgt. Buddy Brown and York police officer Kyle Cummings, recovered.
Doty served York County for 12 years. He was an investigator with York County’s drug enforcement unit and the coordinator of its Law Enforcement Office Narcan program.

The Doty WOD
(all items done with a ruck or weight of some sort):

DOB 2/2/1980:

12 years of service, 37 years of life:

– 37 ruck swings, then run
– 12 squats, then run
– 37 bent over ruck rows, then run
– 12 merkins, then run
– 37 ruck curls, then run
– Repeat all the above one more time

Badge #809:

Everyone got through it all, and ended right at 6. Alot of great mumblechatter. The Pirate is doing the D2D for the first time so the rest of us gave him a ton of tips.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
A LOT going on in The Fort. Read your newsletter and GET INVOLVED. Invigorate that male community leader within you.

COT:
A la C-SPAN we went around and each offered both a prayer and a praise, then lifted them up to Him.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead. Blessings.

Bounty Hunter return to the gloom

Leave a comment

Bounty Hunter (Slackless) had far too few coupons and led us through a “pass the weights around” board of pain. When we had enough, we moseied around the Site choosing our own exercises in cadence.

My man Bounty was a little rusty…all the more reason to get his butt back in the gloom.
