March Madness Just Got A Little Angrier!!

March Madness Just Got A Little Angrier!!

Seven pax (including one FNG: Tim G or Flinstone) decided to post to the best AO A51 has to offer and also posted up once the action began (key reference: posting up is a basketball term for those of you who decided to go to Day ZZZZZero and lift sand bags instead of playing a game revered by most everyone….well, at least men).  Here is what this Magnificant 7 got into:

Warm Up:  Jog to the front courtyard of Calvary with basketball in hand for:

• 25 SSH
• 20 Mountain Climbers with hands on basketball
• 20 Figure 8’s through the legs with bball
• 10 diamond merkins on bball (tougher than it sounds)
• 25 LBCs OYO while bouncing and catching bball off the wall

The Thang: Mosey to the bball courts for:

21 (well, it started as 21, but YHC audibled to 11….we didn’t shoot very well, frankly)

Partner up.  Partner #1 takes a shot from the foul line.  If he makes it he goes for the lay-up and continues shooting while Partner #2 does 5 burpees for every shot Partner #1 makes.  If Partner #1 misses, he does 5 burpees and forfeits the ball to Partner #2.

Either Dear Abby or Boutique got to 11 first so the whistle blew on that drill and we moseyed to the front lot of the church.

Basketball ain’t basketball without suicide runs so we ran ’em to each island in the parking lot and back.  Flipper and Dear Abby took the lead on the suicides.

Plank Up and then two rounds of partner sit-ups with ankles locked trading the bball back and forth upon each crest (reps of 25).

Let’s go back to the courts!

It’s time for P-I-G, but we modified it to F-F-F.  If you miss, you drop for 5 merkins and earn a “F”.  Word to the wise….Runstopper has a mean “back to the net, throw the ball over his head shot”.  It was NBN!  Flipper, on the other hand, built a whole new Family Life Center for Calvary with all of the bricks he threw up.  Anyway, winner only has to run to the front entrance of Calvary on 51.  Looser runs to the further away back entrance (#4) on Rea Rd. Plank up to wait for the six.

Mosey to back lot of Calvary for zig zag running drills from one light post to another then run backwards to the starting point (rinse and repeat). Plank exercises.

Mosey back to the court for some mary:

• 35 LBCs
• 20 Rosalita
• 20 Flutters
• 20 Cumberland County Viaduct

With one minute left, we all took one last, long shot at one of the hoops, but to no avail…we were all too burnt.

That’s a wrap!

Moleskin:

YHC changed up the typical Rock format today.  We ran less distance and did our fair share of burpees.  That’s mainly because I had a race last weekend and don’t want to think about running for a little while.  Nevertheless, we had a great morning.  There was great mumble chatter, based mainly upon each guy’s basketball prowess.  Lots of “balls” jokes, too….who could have guessed that??? Thanks for putting up with my game plan this morning, boys….I had a lot of fun!

Welcome FNG Flinstone.  He sells rock for a living, so the naming felt more than right today!

Announcements:

Pretty much the norms:

• Mud run on 4/4.  You can stil sign up if you pay $10 late fee
• Golf outing is on 4/30
• BRR is in September and sign ups are still available.
• Please continue to keep Zippity in your prayers.  He is improving

Thanks for a great takeout Flipper!
