Re-Committing

Re-Committing

The PAX gathered around the shovel flags at 0615 on Saturday at Weddington HS.  The FNG was disclaimed and 10 PAX set off into the gloom for an opening COP.

The THANG:

• Mosey and circle up to the HS Student Parking lot.  Either because Dasher notices Camacho arriving in the front lot, or because he doesn’t want to start with burpees, Dasher heads off to find him.
• Opening COP with BLIMP – all merkins today will be hand-release
  • Burpees (hand release) – 6 count IC x 10
  • Lunges – IC (front L, front R, side L, side R) x 5 each
  • Imperial Walkers (knees to elbows) IC x 20
  • Merkins (hand release) IC x 10
  • Plank Jack (elbows) IC x 10
  • At some point, Dasher and Camacho finally showed up.  Turns out Camacho guessed wrong and went around the far side of the school
• Mosey down the trail, down the hill, show up at upper Practice football field.  Plank for the six.
  • Inch-worm across the width of the field OYO, run back, PAX lead planking
  • Moderate shuttle run to center, back, width of field, back, plank with 10 counts
  • Burpee Broad-jump across the width of the field OYO, run back, PAX lead planking
  • Moderate shuttle run to center, back, width of field, back, plank with 10 counts
  • Bear crawl across the width of the field OYO, run back, PAX lead planking
• Mosey to the Elementary school playground.  Stopping for the six at various times with Heels-to-Heaven.  Once at the middle of the Elementary Field, divide into 3 groups.
  • Group 1 – Plank with feet on swings. In & Out crunch 20x.  Run back to center of field and plank.
  • Group 2 – Run to playground and do pull-ups until Group 1 finishes. Run back to center and plank.
  • Group 3 – Run to basketball court.  Plyo hops, leaps, karaoke across and back until Group 1 finishes. Run back to center and plank.
  • 10 Hand release Merkins (throw in some Wide Arm and Diamonds on later rounds) IC.  Rotate groups.  Repeat so each Group does 2 full rounds of all 3 Stations.
• Quicker Mosey to the trails.  Squat hold, plank, Freddy Mercury, and other various exercises along the way to allow the group to come back together.  AYG to top of the Hill on the trail.  Squat hold for the six.
• Mosey to the front of the HS.  Same 3 Groups.
  • Group 1 – 15 box jumps or modify to step-ups
  • Group 2 – 20 dips
  • Group 3 – Merkins until time to rotate.
  • Rotate through 3 times.
• Move a few yards back to the cars for closing Mary
  • LBCs
  • Makhtar N’Diayes
  • Flutter
  • Dolly
  • Reverse Plank Butt raises (Crowd Pleaser)
• COT!

The MOLESKIN:

• My how the Union County Boys can bring it!  Doc McStuffins, Dasher, and Transporter (who somehow made the whole workout in a hoodie despite the 60 degree temps) were leading the football practice segments. These three don’t just lead, they are out in front and pulling away.  Perhaps still some work to be done on the grit – some of them sought softer pastures for the Makhtar N’Diayes instead of the parking lot asphalt.  Popeye’s forearms are so swole, his elbows never touched the ground, so he had nothing to worry about.
• Welcome Site FNG, JRR Tolkien, who was doing a little recon for the @F3BlackDiamond workout here this Thursday. Already his 2nd recon visit, he’s planning a 3rd recon trip to map out every nook, cranny, and step for his Q on a hard 1 hour impromptu workout at 0515 on Thursday.
• Welcome FNG Bo-Berry (Phillip)- EH’d by Argonaut.  Bo-Berry stayed with the group today and had enough wherewith-all to give us his life story at COT.  In the end, we just went with his first job at Bojangles.  Though Snowflake did have a pretty creative Long Island Iced Tea (Bo-Berry is from there) that we could have turned into “LIIT” or “LIT”, but the creative juices just weren’t flowing free.  This is definitely consideration for naming FNGs at the second workout they attend.  More time to think!
• Silicon was back (KOTTERS) and still able to hold it together, Argonaut is a beast and the War Baby, and Camacho was not late but just wanted to get in some extra running looking for us. All are facts.

Thank you for following YHC today, thank you for Ice9 and Snowflake for the opportunity to lead, thank you for Union Co Schools for a great campus to use as our playground, and as Snowflake said on the takeout – thanks be to God for the ability to get out and exercise.  May we be as diligent and has as much effort in other areas of our lives.

Until next time (Thursday),

Bratwurst
