I’ll Be Right Back

I’ll Be Right Back

Twenty two of A51’s finest ignored the cool temperatures and posted for their mid-week burn.  As 5 pax wrapped up the pre-KB exercises, Fireman Ed kept the others far away so they didn’t get coerced into joining the KB work.

Here’s how the story goes:

Little baby jog around the parking lot to pick up the straglers.  Continue jog down to the football/futball (whichever you prefer) field for a little follow the leader.

Surpentine the length of the field with jogs (fwd and bkwd), karaoke, bunny hops, side steps, butt kickers, high knees mixed in.

COP:

• HR Burpees x 10 OYO
• SSH x 25
• IW x 20
• Hillbillies x 20
• 8 count body builders x 10

Get into groups of 3 (Q fail #1 as I wanted many small groups of 3, not 3 large groups) and line up for gassers across the width of the field.  Alternate running 1 pax at a time.  Recover from sprint until it’s your turn again.  We did this long enough that I think we got about a dozen sprints in per person.  Felt like 100!

Mosey over to the rock pile.

Rock time (IC):

• Curls x 25
• Tricep extension x 25
• Flutter with press x 25
• Rotate 1 position to your right
• Rinse and repeat (minus the the second round of flutters)

Animal Planet at the baseball field:

• P1 performs supine pull-ups while P2 performs animal work.  Flapjacks.
• Dragon walk to 1st base
• Bear crawl to 2nd
• Crab walk to 3rd
• Bunny hops to Home

Jog over to the field behind the far baseball field.  Q forgets where gate it so we have to jump the fence (Q fail #2).  Plank-o-rama.

Triple Nickel:

• Run to other fence
• 5 1 legged merkins (R foot high)
• Run back
• 5 1 legged merkins (L foot high)
• Repeat 5 times

Circle up for 3-4 MOM:

• HTH x 20
• Protractor with pax calling angles
• Deck Squats x 10

Ye Ole Moleskin:

• As I write this backblast, the Anvil and Charge leadership is huffing and puffing in Twitter-land about their workouts being the best.  Blah-blah-blah
• As promised, there were no 1 legged burpees today.  I didn’t say anything about 1 legged merkins.  Tiger Rag is still calling it a ruse.
• At the end of the pre-KB session, Hairball announces that he’ll be right back.  Apparently he went home to do a quick load of laundry.  Suprisingly, he made it back in time for COP.
• The hillbillies in COP were a crowd pleaser, but would be better with music.  Thank DD for that one.
• It’s been a couple months since I last Q’ed and I think I’m getting rusty.  I self recognized two obvious Q fails, but I’m sure there were more.  Feel free to bust my chops about it.
• Brushback was absolutely crushing the gassers.
• Not sure what Hairball was doing with his rocks, but it didn’t look like curls.
• Welcome to DV FNG’s Wild Turkey and Brushback.  Great to have you join us this morning.
• Bugeater took a moment to teach the pax a new exercise…maybe we should call it the drop-n-roll.  YHC didn’t see it but apparently there was some heated competition brewing between Bug and TR.  Good thing Bug had about 10 layers of clothing on for padding.  #charmin #tripgate
• I love it when the back blast practicly writes itself.  There was enough comedy this morning to keep us entertained.  Sound off below with additional comments.
