A bitter cold morning turned into 3 tight games of super fun footy.
Things looked bleak 5 mins in as Jose tried to put a hole through L10’s foot. Then reinforcements arrived in the form of Brady and Kelel bringing the numbers up to an even 6v6 whilst 10 shook it off.
Games were back and forth all morning with both teams having a great mix of young bucks and old timers.
We all warmed up quickly and the boys who braved the cold were rewarded with a fun day and well earned Sunday nap.
See you next Sunday!

Arriving back just in time to see Teddy and Rousey ready to go :japanese_ogre:
Run to the parking deck, bottom floor for some basic SSH, IW, slow potato pickers and merkin/ runners stretch
THE THANG: the plan for the first half of the workout is: 1- burpee, 2- merkin, 3- squat, 4-ab. Burpees are burpees Merkins- standard, diamond, wide hand release and dive bomb Squat- standard, sumo, jump squat Ab- LBC, box cutter, flutter (2 is one), heels to heaven
Then run to the next floor and 2,4,6,8 run 3,6,9,12… you get the picture….well, rousey never really caught on, but he was always doing something!
We did 10 total rounds.
We then worked our way back down doing a variety of exercise for the next 15 mins on each floor.
Run back home and done
MARY: oh, we did Mary!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: nothing
COT: thanks Midrift for taking us out and getting all the premiles, parking deck miles and a few post miles
Teddy is always fighting some injury and today it was also gassy. Tried to kill us a few times!
Rousey can’t count, might not do the called exercise, and talks to himself. So glad his is back out in the gloom.
It was a great morning. If you didn’t do something, still gonna be a great day. Go attack it, be present in life, and those around you.
Toe jam up next week and Alex will be back on the schedule! Also, First week in February is gear day.

First time at Joust

Date: 2025-01-10 AO: joust Q: Focker PAX: ductwork, geraldo, hoover, Mint chip, Orange Whip, THE Rug Doctor, Water Works FNGs: None COUNT: 8 WARMUP: mosey over by soccer field for SSH, Hillbillies and 5 burpees THE THANG: cross the street to virgin territory on sardis lane. Hard to believe but was confirmed by the long term site Q DW. Plan was 5 exercises 10 reps a piece at every stop sign and cul de sac along the way. Prison squats (not on your knees like wamwrap does) Lunges Merkins Mtn climbers LBCS After our first stop, the yeti found a pristine outhouse. We didnt want to leave him behind so we did some Drydocks and monkey humpers to keep him company. Yeti said “do not go in there like ace ventura so off we went. Unfortunately we didnt make it to providence like YHC had hoped but theres always next time. Back on campus we did some monkey humpers and dry docks next to the UFO guys. Jogged down by the stadium for some peoples chair at the puddin pop corner. Luckily for us, no gas expelled by any of the pax. Working our way back to launch we did the Hops favorite, walltarji (im sure he’ll correct me). Thanks to the guys for coming out in the cold weather and growing a pair as Orange whip puts it. MARY: plank for a minute ANNOUNCEMENTS: xmas party at Hops’ house in December COT: DW took us out

Snowmageddon…

Date: 2025-01-10 AO: scars Q: Roulette PAX: taggart, The Worm, ToeJam, Starch, Winston (Taggart’s fearless four-legged companion) FNGs: None COUNT: 5 Conditions: Cold enough to make your ruck straps feel like icicles, with a snowstorm creeping closer by the minute. The PAX rolled into the gloom layered up and ready to embrace the suck. And just as we were about to kick off, taggart arrived with his trusty sidekick, Winston — a dog who clearly has no time for nonsense and even less patience for the cold.
THE THANG: We rucked just under 3 miles, keeping a strong pace to stay warm. Winston, however, had a slightly different agenda. While the rest of us were focused on crushing miles, Winston seemed determined to sniff every tree, pole, and blade of grass along the way. About halfway in, The Worm peeled off early. His mission? The Stacks breakfast meetup. Apparently, he’s a man who knows that rucking builds strength, but Grape jelly bacon pancakes builds happiness. We gave him a hard time, of course, but secretly we were all a bit jealous. With The Worm gone, the rest of us pressed on. The final stretch was quiet — the kind of quiet only found on a winter morning when the world hasn’t woken up yet. That’s where the work happens. That’s where scars are earned. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Stay safe out there today. COT: Prays for those dealing with natural disasters around the country.
