  • Second Q, but looked like his first.

    7 enthusiastic souls posted on a somewhat brisk day at the Punisher.  Here’s what went down:

    COP: 25 SSH; 15 Don Quixotes (these were supposed to be Saab style – my fault for going too fast); arm circles -10 small, 5 big, reverso, 15 American hammers; 20 APDs and 35 LBCs.

    Mosey to the basketball court for 3 rounds of suicide doublers.  Reps of 1-2-4-8-16 while running suicides with the following exercises: burpees, jump squats and merkins.

    Then mosey to the side of the school where we partnered up and took turns running the lap while your partner did 100 reps of the following exercises: copperhead squats (not cobras – thanks Toga), flutter kicks, WWII sit ups and dips.

    Next to the school wall for alternating chair sits and balls to the wall.

    Followed by some quick sprints on the bus loop, 50/75/100%.

    Then back to the flag for rings of fire with merkins and burpees followed by 30 LBCs.  At the COT, I concluded with some inspirational words from the great orator, Sir Winston Churchill.

    Moleskin:

    This was my second Q, though it could easily have been mistaken for my first.  Thanks for putting up with me boys.  Counting off during the exercises is still a work in progress.

  • Don’t step in the Fudd

    A mildly moist group of 11 hardy souls, including 1 FNG, posted on another beautiful day at the Punisher for YHC’s VQ.  Here’s what went down:

    COP: 20 SSH; 13 Don Quixotes; 15 arm circles (frontwards then backwards); and 40 LBCs.

    Mosey to the picnic tables for a round of 10 burpees; 20 derkins; 30 WWII sit ups; 40 flutter kicks; and 50 Freddy Mercuries, with a quick run to the light pole and 10 jump squats between each set of exercises.

    Next hit the basketball court for 5 merkins, then bear crawl to the other side for 5 more merkins (go back and forth 3 times).

    Then mosey to the jungle gym and partner up for 3 sets of 5 pull ups and 20 partner leg throws.

    Followed by some quick sprints on the basketball court, 50/75/100%.

    Mosey to the front of the school.  With your partner, alternate wall sits with laps around the parking lot.

    Then back to the flag for two merkin rings of fire followed by 20 LBCs and the COT.

    Moleskin:

    After some debate, we named the FNG: “Double Bag,” for his sensible choice of footwear liners.  On the ride home in Saab’s clown car, we debated about changing the name to “The Weather Man,” based on the FNG’s attire for the day.  I agree with Honey Do, that “Double Bag” allows for double entendre, so we will stick with the original name.

    P.S. I am pleased to report that none of the PAX stepped in the Fudd.
