Voodoover at the Charge

Voodoover at the Charge

14 of F3’s finest (including an FNG EH’d by Huddle) congregated at PDS in the borderlands between Area 51 and Metro. Some came for the 2nd F, some came for the weather (which was beautiful BTW), all came to work hard.

Jog down to midfield for COP:

• SSHs x 25 IC
• Merkins x 15 IC
• LSS x 20 or 25 IC
• Mountain Climbers x 25 IC
• Burpees x 10 OYO

Head to the wall under the bleachers for People’s Chair. PAX were told to partner up by size and speed and remember their partner throughout the workout. Big Top said he was big and slow, so he got to partner with the Q. Plank work was sprinkled in below for the early finishers.

Catch Me If You Can for 3 rounds around the (heated) track:

• Round 1: 15 LBCs
• Round 2: 15 Merkins
• Round 3: 15 Jump Squats

People’s Chair to regroup.

Head around the wall and up to the bottom of the bleachers for circuit work:

• 10 x split squats per leg, up the stairs
• 20 x Sister Mary Catherine’s (jumping lunges), down the stairs
• 30 x bench squats (six to the bench), up the stairs
• 40 x calf raises (#nicelegs), down the stairs
• 50 x LBCs

Repeato, but replace SMCs with Mountain Climbers and bench squats with bench dips because the Q’s legs weren’t working properly

Back down to the football field, line up along the near end zone, facing midfield. The following is approximate since YHC was winging it a bit. These are the right exercises, but the order might be off a bit. The distances are right though:

• Bear crawl to the 50, AYG back
• Backward run to the 40, AYG back
• Crab walk to the 30, AYG back
• Burpee broad jump to the 20, AYG back
• Seal drag to the 10, AYG back (learned this one with Team Spearhead – this was a crowd pleaser since everyone was wearing shorts)
• Partner carry to the 20 (switch halfway), AYG back
• Partner wheelbarrow to the 20 (NOT the 30, switch halfway), AYG back
• Bear crawl to the 40, AYG back
• Backward run to the 50, AYG back

Head over to the corner of the track for 4 corners (this was meant to be a Dirty MacDeuce, but we didn’t have time for full laps between exercises):

1. Diamond merkins x 12, LBCs x 12, Mountain climbers x 12, run to next corner
2. Carolina Dry Docks x 12, Freddy Mercury x 12, Monkey Humpers x 12
3. Wide arm merkins x 12, Dollies x 12, Stump jumpers x 12 (this is about the time Old MacDonald surreptitiously relieved himself of last night’s dinner)
4. Merkins x 12, Flutter Kicks x 12, Jump squats x 12

Head back to the wall beneath the bleachers for People’s Chair with 25 air presses in cadence and 2 10 counts from Baracus and Snowflake.

Run back to launch lot (not “lunch lot”) for 60 seconds of Prairie Fire Mary – 10 x for each partner

Done.

Thanks to Tesla for the takeout in COT.

Announcements:

1. Oral Cancer Foundation 5K this weekend in Fort Mill. F3 brother Bing is running it in memory of his friend, Jeremy Blevins, and would welcome participants and donations. See his Twitter feed for details. I knew Jeremy through work and he was a good guy. Race details can be found here.
2. There was one other announcement, but I forgot it. #cobains Sound off below if you want it memorialized.

Moleskine:

YHC was scheduled to Q last week, but after an early week trip to San Francisco, the old iPad clock remained on Pacific time that morning. After apologizing profusely to Baracus, he kindly allowed me to take his Q this week to try to redeem myself. Hopefully the PAX felt it was worth the wait.

YHC loves Qing at this AO because of the options it provides with a comfortable football field, a (heated) track and bleachers. All of them were used today. Everyone was pushing hard out there, with a number of Larry Birds. Thankfully, it was dark and YHC couldn’t see them so they didn’t hurt his feelings.

Welcome to Old MacDonald, who grew up on a farm and had a very long and detailed life story, most of which YHC missed because he was still breathing heavily. Tesla immediately named him appropriately and then the PAX lined up to submit orders for hogs to be smoked. Aside: Van Pelt, you might want to look this guy up, you could probably do amazing things together. #powercouple OM worked hard the entire time, splashing merlot at one point, but continuing to push. I hope to see you out there again.

Thank you to Baracus for the honor to lead this morning. Please sound off with anything else YHC missed above.
