No lifeguard on duty
Who knew you’d show up for a boot camp and end up needing a lifeguard. It was a sloppy mess but seeing no lifeguard on duty, let’s jump in anyways.
The Thang
Pre-Workout
We had two different pre-workouts going with Double E and Glass Joe meeting at 5:45 for a 5+ mile run. Horsehead, Boondock, and Drop Thrill met at 6:15 to get a few, or 240, swings in. Great work by all!
The Real Workout
Turnpike:
Nothing like hitting the ground hard and wet in a Turnpike Q. There must be something in the air every time I’m on Q because it’s always a wet and wild time!
HB mile to get the PAX warmed up to the shovel flag.
Circle up:
SSH x 20
Ok enough of that time to get dirty boys. Mosey to the rock pile to pick up some manly rocks for Glass Joe’s half!
Carry the rocks and place them by the entrance to the track then mosey to the end zone.
Round 1:
Start at the end zone sprint to the ten yard line and do 10 squats.
Sprint from the 10 yard line to the 30 and do 30 flutters.
Sprint from the 30 to the 50 and do 50 LBC’s
Then sprint to the end zone and plank until all PAX are complete.
Round 2:
Sprint to 10 yard line and do 10 burpees.
Sprint to 30 yard line and do 30 merkins.
Sprint to 50 yard line and do 50 carolina dry docks
Sprint to end zone plank until rest of PAX is there.
Round 3:
Sprint to the 10 and do 10 Merkins
Sprint to the 20 and do 20 squats.
Sprint to the 30 and do 30 flutters
Sprint to the 40 and do 40 LBC’s.
Sprint to the end zone and plank until rest of PAX is there.
100 yard dash.
Round 1 all over again!
Then catch me if you can partner 1 does 5 merkins while partner 2 runs the football field flapjack when caught. Times up time to hand off the Q to Glass Joe.
Glass Joe:
Take the manly rocks to the stadium.
Partner 1 stadium stairs rock carries x2. Partner 2 does dips. Flapjack. Plank until all groups are done.
Partner 1 stadium stairs rock carries x2. Partner 2 does burpees. Flapjack. Plank until all groups are done.
Partner 1 stadium stairs rock carries x2. Partner 2 does LBCs. Flapjack. Plank until all groups are done.
Take the rocks to the football field end zone.
Partner 1 runs to the 50, merkins x 10, runs back while partner 2 does curls with the rock. Flapjack. Plank.
Partner 1 runs to the 50, merkins x 10, runs back while partner 2 does triceps with the rock. Flapjack. Plank.
Partner 1 runs 100 yards and runs back while partner 2 does LBCs with the rock. Flapjack. Plank.
Return the rock to the pile and let’s start an Indian Run back to the flag.
My ADD kicks in and I see the elevated telephone poles. Let’s all scramble over them at which I almost pulled a Napoleon Dynamite-esque flat fall down.
Mosey to the flag.

Thanks to The Late Show for taking us out
Moleskine
Great work by all in conditions that were less than optimal.
Great job by DT to finish all the elevated telephone poles. You got this mud run brother!!!
Great to see the continued pushing by Shepherd, The Late Show, Countertop.
And who was that guy out front? Oh yeah, Turnpike on his Q. Well done sir.
Horse, you pushed really hard but watch out, Boondock is starting to beast out there.
Hairband, I think I speak for all that it’s great to see you back out. It hurts the PAX when one of our own is down.
I appreciate all the chatter throughout. Makes you forget that you are soaking wet in 40 degree weather.

Um, correction 36 degree weather. 🙂
Hilarious walking of #thirdF and Glass Joe saying “We just worked out in THIS weather?”
Great beatdown by both Q’s. It sucked in a really good sucky way.
The Lord provides, and He seems to always provide me the training I need for my next event, whether I want it or not. 🙂
That was a cold bunch of badness right there. I had the music and everything keyed up under the shelter after the pre KB, hoping you two would take the hint. No reason to stray from the lot . . . but NOOO we had to go to the soggiest and coldest part of the campus and roll around like pigs.
Then, after I warmed up a little on the bleachers, we go BACK to the same God forsaken field and do more of the same.
Seriously . . . who does that?

Hairband, this is pretty much what caused me to hate Sally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41N6bKO-NVI
Song is annoying as crap but the challenge looks to be right up my ally… When I don’t have this shoulder issue. 🙁
Went back to the Chiropractor yesterday he referred me to a physical therapist that I need to get an appointment with. Looks like a shoulder impingement, basically like a pinched nerve. 2015 is not off to the best start physically.
