Nothing Exciting – just Hard Work

Nothing Exciting – just Hard Work

19 Men decided to start their Wednesday off right by ignoring any warnings about angry Qs, and form police to post at Anvil and get better.

Couple Site FNGs – Disclaimer given

The Thang:
Instructions were given and off we went:

Pax told to divide into groups of 3.

Three stations:
Station 1 (The Timer) – picnic table covered area – 10 jump ups, 10 dips, 10 decline merkins
Station 2 – Playground – 5 Pull-ups, 10 donkey kicks, 10 burpees – rinse and repeat until you are relieved.
Station 3 – Exit 4 – Lunge walk down the hill – 5 burpees, bear-crawl up the hill – 5 jump squats. rinse and repeat until relieved.

Went something like this: 1 pax from each team went to each station.

Station 1 was the timer and only one with a set count. Once done they went to relieve the pax at station 2.

Station 2 pax did 5 pull-ups,10 donkey kicks, and 10 burpees and continued to rinse and repeat until their team-mate arrives from Station 1 to relieve them. They then run to station 3.

Station 3 pax lunge walked down the hill, did 5 burpees, then bear-crawled up the hill and did 5 jump squats – then continue to rinse and repeat until their team-mate from Station 2 showed up to relieve them. They then ran back to Station 1 for the jump-ups, dips and derkins and it starts all over again.

Goal was to get as many sets in in the 45 minutes and to keep moving. Think most got between 2.5 and 3 full rounds and everyone kept moving – mission accomplished.

6 MOM

Just enough time for one round of Mary – 25 x flutters in cadence.

Finished.

NMM:
This was a reused workout and it still sucks – no time to recover – this one is very much you against you, with the added motivation of knowing your team-mates are also suffering waiting on you to get to them.

For those keeping score – 3 rounds meant you did almost 2.2 miles, 100+ burpees, 40+ pull-ups, 80+ donkey kicks and lots of bear-crawling.

Everyone one was pushing hard out there – with lots of chatter. Lunge walking downhill and bear-crawling up was a definite crowd pleaser.

Its great mudrun prep – granted not as far as you will run during the leatherneck, but does help prepare you for the work/run format of the mudrun – 36 obstacles over 6 miles offers lots of stops for obstacles, then running to the next obstacle.

I also have to call out the absence of Voodoo who did HC to this workout after his SOFAWIB Q and subsequent calling out of the SITE Qs there for not posting. Could be that the Q smoked himself and didn’t leave enough for Anvil this AM – but think it was probably more of voluntary fartsack due to a late night.

Solid Crew today – YHC says it all the time, but it really is an honor and privilege to lead this group of men thru the gloom around this AO.
Thanks Mermaid and Young Love for the opportunity.

YHC is sure he missed something – was too busying recovering from O2 deprivation, so shout out below.

Announcements:

MudRun Sign-ups extended to October 3 – sign-up – it will be a lot of fun.

Spartan Beast – 13+ miles and 30+ obstacles – large F3 showing for this – Nov. 14th (Same day as Thunder Road)

Champagne Out.
