Date: 2024-01-20 AO: the-rock Q: hoover PAX: geraldo, ductwork, O Tannenbaum, poptart, Water Works, Focker, THE Rug Doctor, Runstopper, rachel, Mulch FNGs: 1 Mulch COUNT: 11 11 men, gathered in 22 degree temperatures for 3.3 miles of fun at The Rock.
WARMUP: 5 burpees. Run to the avenue of trees, standard texbook stuff (IWs, merkins, squats, peter parkers) THE THANG: – Ladders (suicides are apparently a trigger word these days?) 3 burpees to start, first tree 5 merkins, second tree 5 squats, etc. every time you return to start it’s 3 burpees. lil bit o mary for the abs. – mosey to the grassy knoll for 2 rounds of lunges, dips, and step ups. – head to a parking lot for 11’s merkins and heels to heaven. – run back to launch the log way around stopping at every speed bump for 10 squats. – join the Olympus crew for some Mary.
MARY: Oh Mary, mother of abs we’ll never see in the mirror
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Marta is coming for your blood. Savage Race is in June, Wild Turkey is leading the Ruck Division for F3. If you’ve never done a Savage Race, it’s like a Spartan Race but way more fun.
COT: Pop-Tart shared during the workout that a family in his neighborhood recently lost their father to alcoholism. I know we joke about drinking, most of us enjoy a good drink or 6, and we even drink in the parking lot of a church on the occasional Saturday, but alcoholism is a real problem. We all have someone in our lives that struggles with addictive behaviors like this. As leaders in our communities, it’s our obligation to help our fellow man. Find ways to support them that you feel are best.
NOTABLE STUPIDITY: Thanks to Water Works for bringing out Mulch (that wasn’t stupidity but the rest of what follows is). See Water Works is doing the 75 Hard challenge, and is required to workout for 45 minutes everyday. So naturally you show up 20 minutes late to a 60 minute workout. Of course, he brought an FNG (much appreciated and great work today Mulch) but said FNG didn’t have gloves. Ductwork decided to cut out (and skip some burpees) to get his extra pair of gloves from the truck. Good stuff and almost got the FNG named Frostbite instead of Mulch.
