Wet, Muddy Lindsley

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:

QIC: Teasip

AO: Lindsley Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x20, IST x15, warmup lap around the park

THA THANG:
Dirty McDeuce 3 rounds of 12 reps of the following: Step Ups, Dips, Jump Squats, Carolina Dry Docks. Lap around the park in between rounds. Meatball showed up halfway through the second round

1 punishment burpee for Special Sauce being 1 minute late and 12 punishment burpees for Meatball being late.

Mosey to the corner of Tenison and Lindsley for Partner Dora.

Partner 1 starts doing the following exercises: 100 LBCs, 200 Squats, 300 OH Presses.
Partner 2 backwards run 1 block, then run forward back to relieve Partner 1.

A couple sprints up the block with 10 squats after the first one, but no exercise after the second one. Mosey back to the pavilion for Mary.

MARY:
Uptown Crunch x11
Rosalita x12
Freddie Mercury x12
Rugby Situps x12
WW1 Situps x12

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out.

MOLESKIN:
YHC had plans for some bear crawling and other fun grass related exercises, but the rain made the field extremely muddy with standing water, so YHC decided to Omaha back to the basics. YHC planned to do the entire Dirty McDeuce in cadence, but quickly realized the Jump Squats would be rather difficult to do in cadence, so YHC pivoted to making those OYO.  

Some grumbling during the punishment burpees, including Sauce trying to convince YHC that Meatball felt caught up after about 4 burpees, but we did all of them. A lot of talk about where Dirtbag and Icebox were, with the assumption being traffic was keeping them from the beatdown with all the rain.

AA did some grumbling with the backwards running and the large number of squats, but YHC was feeling a leg heavy day. Overall a good day and we were able to mostly avoid the rain and mud.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. TID 18K about a week away!
2. Grow Ruck April 9-11

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thankful for the men that got up and got better. Was a good change of pace to the week of VERY strong bootcamps.

MOLESKIN:
Rump Roast brought up the idea of rucking last night and YHC thought it was a great plan. This week has been a bootcamp beatdown day after day! We haven’t rucked much to try and prepare for TID18k so YHC decided to get in a few miles this morning. Great time for mumblechatter – at least most of the way until Rump lost his breath. Lots of chatter between Stingray and Rump Roast around intermittent fasting. YHC chose to listen because YHC has never tried fasting.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. TID18k – March 6th
2. Grow Ruck – April

Some talk about soreness in groins, hips and calves after the 4x4x24; focus on shifting from running to rucking in preparation for TX Independence Day.  There may have also been some chatter about attendance being light this morning, probably due to the windy conditions.  YHC also spotted a coyote before starting, which provided an extra reason to stay alert.

MOLESKIN:

It’s Groundhog Day so what could we do over and over and over…Much mumble chatter about YHC not caring about shoulders today.  Perhaps I should have warned PAX to take care of their Starbucky shoulders.  Following the shoulder comments were the complaints of back pain.  I can provide the number of a good sports chiro!  Tclaps to Slushii for being prepared with an impromptu speaker to aid with the monotony.  YHC took pity on PAX with 10 minutes remaining and moved to some Mary since PAX were also upset YHC seemed to neglect core exercises today.  PAX were relieved until they figured out YHC was serious about holding feet at 6”.  Penalty man makers for lazy feet elicited what may be a record 5-6 “F U’s” on the Rumpometer.  I was humbled with such recognition and felt I should thank the Academy and everyone that supported me in my Q journey!

We all survived, had coffee and as far as I can tell, this week’s batch didn’t prep Slushii for a colonoscopy! 
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

  • Patriot Challenge started yesterday.  Get signed up and log your miles!
  • 4x4x24 this Friday!  Get on the train (Rump Roast is HC!) and start hydrating and carbo loading on Weds

None today

Moleskin:
It’s my son’s (F3 Name- Meow) birthday and wanted to honor his big day and entering the  teenage years with a “manly” workout.  Not a ton of mumblechatter other than some grumbling due to the myraid of sprints and hatred of the Wolverine (Burpee – Merkin, peter, merkin, parker, merkin, jump up).  Also Sound Machine has all the toys and the glow in the dark football was fun to throw around pre and post beatdown.  Was some discussion of  Bleep skipping and Rump Roast’s fartsacking after a HC (weird to see Slushii solo in the suburu). I guess he didn’t want a perfect week afterall! Slushii is still on target.  Overall great day, chilly day but the wind sprints made us forget about it quickly.

Luckily(?) for the PAX YHC and Dirtbag had talked about splitting up the Q last night so when Dirtbag KO’d himself during the EC run (possible delayed victim of murder bunny’ing up The Hill at Lindsley?) YHC was kinda sorta prepared.

Mumblechatter picked up in the second half when there was a lot less counting and we rocked out to SirusXM’s top 500 hip hop songs, I think we heard 478-465. Teasip went 2 for the first 10 on knowing the artist

I posed the question of what would happen if Rump Roast tried to use a speaker, interval timer, and dice during a workout and the consensus was that his head would explode

Thanks to the PAX for putting up with a half baked Q on a cold and wet day!
