Track workout Tuesday

Date: 2026-01-20 AO: Fast Twitch Q: Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff) , PAX: Astro (Kyle Kirchhoff), Alf, ductwork, turkey_leg, Benny FNGs: None COUNT: 5 *Benny posting on behalf of Astro WARMUP: After a quick disclaimer that ladder work would be involved, off 5 pax went to SCMS via Raintree with lots of comments that via 51 was quicker and less hilly. THE THANG: ladder work of 400 , 800, and 1200 meters around the track. Rinse and repeat 3-4 times or till time was called around 6:05 to head back to the ao.

[Ultimate] 5 AM is the New 515

Date: 2026-01-23 AO: Ultimate Q: MARTA , PAX: MARTA, Paris, smokey, Fruity Pebbles, Zipper, Mayo, Spyglass, Shank, Yeti, Spikeball, Crawdad, David Baker, Wu Tang is for the children, Wario, Aoli, Biden, Peachss,Bullystick, Duff, Fuzz FNGs: 1 Fuzz COUNT: 21 Before the deep freeze of 2026, the mighty PAX (some mightier than others) arrived at 5 AM sharp. Numbers were so large that the football sized field was selected and there was a wonder why we haven’t set the kickoff at 5AM all season – even Paris and Pink Eye were present and/or prompt. Spyglass led the group in some light stretching.. further proof injuries can only occur at home or by the knife.
Familiar foes met on the pitch with yellow vs. red. MARTA, on brand, led the first two points with turnovers allowing red to stumble off to a quick lead. Yellow battled back trading points but remained down – not used to a congested field which limited their ample deep threats (Yeti, @Aoli, Paris, @Flywithme) until a twisted ankle pulled Spyglass temporarily from the field. Bolstered by a short season loan of Spyglass, Yellow was able to dink and dunk their way to a 2 point lead and never looked back when he was cast away back to red. Yellow with the casual win.
Welcome back @shank who showed his rust and is off to a surprising 0-2 start to the season. More importantly, the @bullystick and Spyglass corrupted the Spirit of the Game and the mind of young @Fuzz (FNG) convincing him to make a call that would embarrass your mother. Clearly the disc was bobbled and secured after the ground caught the disc- Hopefully LAX tiktoked or myfaced it for further scrutiny by the corrupt league office. Neither Fuzz or Red should sleep well tonight.
The LAX team (aka boys who play with sticks…) kicked us off the pitch a wee early. Props/Kudos to @pinkeye, smokey,@frutiy, @yeti, Spikeball, Spyglass for getting some extra work with the joust. Hopefully, DFACS avoids the Borelli residence this weekend- wellness check anyone?.
Stay warm and stock up (powerade only) this weekend – This may be one of the only deep freezes the young’uns have experienced.

SCARS – Garaja Fiesta

Date: 2026-01-23 AO: SCARS Q: F3 Elsa , PAX: F3 Elsa, Pepsi, The Worm FNGs: COUNT: 3 WARMUP: Parking lot Mosey with a very good and thorough disclaimer.
MARY: Q was actively avoiding freezing rain so we risked a quick hike through the Bowl then looped back for Garaja Fiesta. Managed to cover most of the garages despite stairs and entire floors being cordoned off for ice. Solid mumblechatter all while trying to find open garage exits and dodging aggressive garage drivers. Made time for an extra loop thanks to our Worm Navigational System (WNS?) and still fit in time for some post ruck stretching.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Watch our for our friends and neighbors during the ice storm this weekend.
COT: Remember your annual checkups of all varieties 🙂

Joust

Date: 2026-01-23 AO: Joust Q: Orange Whip , PAX: Mr Brady, Orange Whip, ductwork, MARTA, O’Tannenbaum, Smokey, Fruity Pebbles, Spyglass, Hops, baracus, geraldo, Yeti, Spikeball, marge, puddin_pop, Fly With Me, Limey FNGs: None COUNT: 17 WARMUP: I complained like a little B about how sore I was, realized no one cares, circled up in parking lot and did everything except SSHs while the lacrosse boys rolled up in $60k trucks playing EDM. One kid had pops drop him off but asked that he do it around the corner. Call your pops if you still can.
THE THANG: – Indian Run 1 lap – Partner track work w/hand slap merkins – 100 yard suicides with dry docks and sit ups – Man-maker merkins with partner – (Joined by Ultimate bros) – Line up on end zone and 3x sprints with abs at the end – Burp & Jerk circle with up downs at end (plenty of Remember the Titans comments) – Run to lot and did some stupid bear crawl circle – Romanian dead lifts and done :white_check_mark:
MARY:
Old school workout. It was good to get the boys lined up to race. Been a while. Yeti is still fast and the chap (sorry don’t know name) in the blue hoodie. Couldn’t keep up. #midForties
Boys were chattery all morning but oddly very nice to the Q. Very few refusniks on the burpees which was the biggest shock of all…ya see, they aren’t that bad when you’re on a $2m turf field.
Complete veteran group. All OGs who built A51. I love new guys but it’s always fun leading all the old timers in the gloom. Complaining was kept at a minimum #rare, beards were grayer, runs were slower and jokes were plentiful. What a way to pass the years.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: prayers to Glass Joe whose wife is battling cancer :pray:
COT: YHC

THE THANG: Continue up Raintree, right on Four Mile Creek, regroup at Whitethorn. As far as you want to go on Whitethorn towards Raintree, turn around and head back to SCMS. Strong work as Pax got 5-6 miles with plenty of hills. Sobering morning with the house fire in Raintree and inconsiderate and inattentive drivers. Be careful out there! MARY: None ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2nd installment of The Prod on 2/6. COT: Thanks to Slimfast for the closing prayer.
