Where is Watchtower?

Where is Watchtower?

Posted on behalf of Goodfella:

Coming off a great Memorial Day workout led by Popeye, and plenty of over-eating this weekend, we had record attendance at Watchtower this morning (last week’s attendance was a solid 2!). The humidity was brutal today, which led YHC and BottleCap to shut down the Doc pre-run a few minutes early to hydrate before the workout.

Quick Mosey then circle up with 10 Pax…well, make it 11 Pax as Jingles rolled in on 2 wheels like usual. Wait, make it 12 Pax as Loafer loafed his way in late as well. Wait, make it 13 Pax as Frack cheerfully rolled in at the tail end of the warmup. The 13 finished up our warmup of::

SSH x 20
IW x 20
Peter Parker x 20
Merkin x 10
LBC x 20

Mosey over to the front of the school and gather at the carpool pickup location for some fun.
Introduce the Pax to “Burpee Shuttle”, where we started at #1, sprinted to #8 for 8 Burpees, back to #1, sprinted to #7 for 7 Burpees, etc until making it back to #1.

Wait a minute, here comes Posse with a sneak attack at the #2 station to show us all how it’s done! We now have 14 Pax at Watchtower! Record Attendance!

All-in, we completed 36 Burpees (make it 3 Burpees for Posse!) to start off the workout, and all were starting to sweat.

Mosey over to the football stadium for some Stairs. Some from the Pax immediately complained about the “wet and sweaty” bleachers we were about to navigate. Someone even took it a step further and told us he was going to play it safe and gingerly tip-toe down the stairs so he didn’t get hurt! (not mentioning names, Damascus!):

Up & Down the stairs then (10) Dips at the bottom of each section.
Plank it up and wait for the Six.

1/2 Lap around Track to visitors bleachers (much less sections and stairs for some relief).
Up & Down the stairs then (10) Derkins at the bottom of each section.

Plank it up at the top of the stands and wait for the Six.

Grab a wall for People’s Chair, Leg Extensions, and Air Presses.

Mosey To Brick Pile, Partner Up:

Round 1 = P1 Overhead Press (x 150 as a team), P2 Down the stairs and back

Round 2 = P1 Bicep Curls (x 100 as a team), P2 Down the stairs and back

After some complaining about “sore calves” and uneven terrain, it was time to shut it down early at this station. Maybe the humidity was starting to get to the Pax?

Long Mosey back to Wall near front of school for:
Incline Merkins x 30
Leg Extensions x 25
Bicycles x 25
Incline Merkins x 20

Circle up for Mary…work our way around the circle of 14 Pax:

LBC x 14
Flutter x 14
Dolly x 14
American Hammer x 14
Heels 2 Heaven x 14

Thanks for allowing me to lead today, fellas. It’s a great campus and there’s always something new to try. All kidding and ragging aside, it was great work by everyone today. The banter keeps me/us coming back for more, and no one is immune!

Announcements:
Speed for Need gaining tons of momentum and fund raising. Union Co crew will participate in 2 races this year (Komen and Ginger Snap).

Damascus asked to take the Q at Commitment this Saturday, to celebrate his 1-year Anniversary at F3. Nice job, Damascus!

Thanks for taking us out in Prayer, MoneyBall!
