  • Curahee Out and back

    The pax showed up to do a 3, 4 , or 5 mile out and back which took us down john rolfe parkway to broad street and back.

    Roger Roger, Mr. Rogers, Hutton, bedpan, pigskin, white snake, lighthouse, full house, handshake, Gypsy, and byproduct showed up

  • 9/11 ascension bells

    24 warriors posted at what would be a record at circus Maximus for a 9/11 remembrance kettle bell beatdown. 

    A few comments and mumble chatter to start the day and of course an expertly planned set list for our patriotic themed rendition of 2,200 stairs to ascend with your bell. Some cadence chatter got us all in the mood ( never could time it right) but we move anyway!

    History: 

    AA 11 – hit the wtc first

    UA 93 – fought back and crashed in Pennsylvania 

    AA 77 – crashed into the pentagon

    UA 175 – hit the second tower

    Theme and numbers. Fire fighters ascended 2,200 stairs so we commemorate and move in remembrance of our fallen soldiers, brothers, sisters, pilots, family members and those in service.

    Warm-a-Rama

    25 side straddle hops

    11 Don Qs

    11 merkins

    11 crunchy frogs

    Question what were the flight numbers? Silence was the answer- read above to revisit

    11 signifies the AA 11 flight that went down first

    11 burpees for wrong answer. 

    The Thang-

    Long mosey to the Godwin track with bell and we begin our ascension in style with a patriotic ensemble to push us through this beatdown .

    5 excercises 11 of each then climb with your bell to the top and back. 

    6 rounds got us the 2,200 stairs 

    Excercise 1 – 11 in swings

    Excercise 2 – 11 lawnmower pulls

    Excercise 3- 11 suitcase squat

    Excercise 4- 11 halo 😇 

    Excercise 5- 11 clean and jerk 

    Climb the stairs and rinse and repeat. 

    Once 6 rounds were accomplished the Q then asked the flight numbers again and 3/4 were answered. The penalty 77 curls on a mosey back to the flag.

    We end with God Bless the USA and a moment of silence to Never forget.

    Thanks for letting me host this commemorative beatdown.
