Outland Swamp Beatdown

Outland Swamp Beatdown

6am Pre workout
5 mile run for Glass Joe and Double E
4 mile run for Turnpike and Shepard. Trying to get in as much running as we can to prepare for the Mud Run next month. Thank you Glass Joe and Double E for being supportive and pushing us!

Some nice chatter was going on during our run this morning as we spoke how when I am on Q I can’t catch a break and it is always raining. Double E suggested maybe a name change to Rainman and then Shepard chimed in saying TP doesn’t stand for Turnpike instead it stands for The Puddle.

The Thang:
Turnpike on Q

Seriously I can’t catch a break with the rain/wet while on Q. Not a problem for me though and the Pax are doomed to get wet and muddy.

Time to roll and let’s mosey:

Hairband mile for those PAX that were in the fartsack this morning while four were going strong getting some miles in before the beat down.

Circle up:

Ssh x 15

And that’s enough lets mosey to the soccer field it’s time for Four Corners of Wetness to begin.

Each corner of the soccer field will consist of an exercise and the Pax is to run from corner to corner and we will increase each exercise by 10 each round.

Round 1:
Corner 1 – 10 Merkins
Corner 2 – 10 LBC’S ( this was a crowd pleaser in the mud)
Corner 3 – 10 Burpees
Corner 4 – 10 Squats.

Plank when complete

Round 2:
Corner 1 – 20 Merkins
Corner 2 – 20 LBC’S
Corner 3 – 20 Burpees

Corner 4 – 30 Squats

Plank when complete

Round 4:

Thanks to Smokey for taking us out.

Great job done by all the PAX this morning. Shout out to Shepard for getting out early and joining us for the run. I want to thank all the PAX as they continue to support and push me every workout to get stronger. Not only strong physically but also mentally and spiritually it’s greatly appreciated and I am hoping soon that I can give a beat down on a nice day and who knows what that will bring.

Prayers to our brother DT who has been battling a stomach flu bug. We miss you out in the gloom!

Continued prayers for Zip as he is doing well with recovery.
