A day at the Aquarium – I mean the Rock

A day at the Aquarium – I mean the Rock

Twelve men (well – 9 men and 3 fish), who took the Red Pill at the Rock instead of the Blue Bill at Day Zero, were properly disclaimed (barely) and off we went for some weekend fun in the hot, humid, sticky, nasty weather.

The Thang:

Jog over to correct starting point (Gummy probably wondered if I would show up – helps to tell visitors when you change launch points) for some COP – SSH, Merkins, Stagger right and left, CDD, and Squat Jumps.

Jog over to rock pile and grab a suitable lifting rock (PAX fail – I noticed a bunch of pebbles).   Three sets of three exercises with sprint down to other light pole and back in between each exercise.   Curls, push presses and lateral extensions.   We did 5, 10, and 15.  Wise member of the PAX correctly called “up” the 2nd time and thus we got to put the rocks up.

Over to play ground for some circuit work .    Five sets of three exercises – 5 pull ups , 10 decline merkins and 15 dips (total of 25, 50, and 75).

Jog down to large field for a few minutes of mary – LBC, dolly, flutter, high dolly.   Run the equalizer (run long square on field with PAX turning right as soon as rabbit hits designated spot).   A few more minutes of mary and then run equalizer again.

Down to baseball diamond to “run” bases twice – bear crawl to first, burpee broad jumps to 2nd, lunge walk to 3rd and backward run to home plate.

Back to COP for some maktar jai and Freddie Mercury before running the equalizer one more time.

Up to pavilion for some circuit work – step ups, incline merkins, and old style sit ups.  Rinse and repeat,  Move to other side for some peoples chair and balls to the wall.

Mosey back to starting point and finish with COP of various exercises, including rounds led by Flipper, Nemo, Marlin, and Grady, respectively.

COT

Naked Moleskin – Strong work in challenging heat,  YHC was whipped at minute 37 and had to bare down to finish.  Etrade and Nemo had some good races with Etrade taking the podium mostly.   Gummy has been on a rant about “Your moma” and other men’s body parts but we all know the dog with the smallest package barks the loudest.

I have been trying to increase workouts with pull ups as they are just hard.    I think the entire PAX needs to do more by the way we finished the last 24.

Announcements – F3 Golf this Friday.   You can probably find a way to sneak on the course if you haven’t registered.  Please consider a donation to support the F3 Foundation even if you are not playing (or like me you are playing but can’t really play golf).

Thanks to Gummy for giving me the call to come out of the bull pen.   Q’ing is usually the only reason I get up early on Saturday.

Great take out by Boerewors (I think it was him).   I think it was also his first take out.  Great job stepping up.  Path to improvement is getting out of your comfort zone.
