Weinke Gone Awry

6 PAX Got After it this morning

First Things First… The Hairband Mile (once around the parking lot)

COP (Nomadic Warmup)
– SSH x20
– IW x20
– Mosey around side of school
– LBCs x20
– Flutter Kicks x20
– Mosey over to HS Obstacle Course

PAX stopped for a plank roundup to keep everyone together during the mosey over to the rock pit and our ADD ridden QIC (YHC) got detoured from the mental Wienke by an attractive looking obstacle course on the shoulder of the trail.  So, out the window goes the well laid plans and in comes the obstacle course training intro.

Round 1.  Three trips plank walking under the elevated telephone poles, an 8 count burpee in between each and back to start.  We can all thank Glass Joe for the 8 count burpees.  I guess standard burpees would have been too easy.

Round 2.  Three trips scrambling over the elevated telephone poles with similar pain station between each.  T- Claps to Drop Thrill here.  Being the one man who had not previously run the Overdrive Obstacle Course he struggled through the first round but was navigating like a pro by round three.

Round 3.  Legs Raises on the Pull up bars, 7… 5…3… 1…  This one took some teamwork.  2 men on each bar, facing opposite direction from each other to keep the bar from spinning.

Since the Wienke was out the window and no Q-jack had occurred we moved on to something a little more mainstream F3 beatdown and moseyed over to the practice field for some agility and core work.

Karaoke back and forth across the field followed by high knees and butt kickers.

6 MoM (each man calls his favorite with a couple sets of burpees mixed in to keep the heart rate up)
– (CT)LBCs x20
– (DT) Protractors
– (HB) Freddy Mercury x 20
– (SB) Back Scratchers x15
– (GJ) Flutters x Infinity
– (TLS) ??? this one must’ve been tough because I’ve completely wiped it from my memory #Calloutifyouremember
– (CT) Mack Tar Jai x 12 ish (PAX passed the 4 count around the circle as we went.  Forced a little thought and mental contact/awareness to challenge to mental shutdown during physical exertion)

Indian Run around the soccer field and back over to the MS for COT.  Early arrivers were rewarded with a burpee celebration while remaining PAX made their way to the finish line.

COT

Moleskin:  All in all this was a moderate workout with a couple of “off the beaten path” challenges.  Notable Accomplishments:

  • HB was back on the scene after a victorious battle with the Flu and follow up illnesses.
  • Glass Joe handled the beatdown even though he’d lost half a toe this past week at the beach. Something about cutting it on a fold out bed or kicking a sand shark in the face.  Not sure of the details.
  • Spielberg is becoming a regular at Overdrive and looking strong
  • Drop Thrill overcame the obstacle course like a champ
  • The Late Show strong as always. Even with the loss of his glorious beard just weeks prior.

Great work by all!

While it almost felt like my first time again after a 3 week absence due to flu & recovery of said flu then a random jacked up shoulder issue. I really missed being out there with you guys and it was great to be back.

Great beatdown I appreciate the no man left behind but feel a little guilty slowing you guys down. Stronger every day.

#Kotters Hair Band!

I don’t say this with very much pride, but I’m freaking proud of myself (ironic I know) for not giving up this morning over the poles. There were many days at F3 I’d just have said “Well, that’s too hard, got to modify.” aka stop and do nothing or something that really didn’t challenge me.

It’s because of you guys and all the brotherhood in F3 that I’m where I am today. Got a long way to climb up this mountain, but I can see down the mountain a bit now and I ain’t goin’ back to where I began.

Only got my second FNG this week, I want to get so many more guys on this path with me. It’s totally addicting seeing guys change and being even a tiny part of that.
