  • Local Man Dies Doing Monkey Humpers

    A Wilson approved PAX of an even 4 hit the rolling hills of Tuckahoe for a tour of sorts.

    Mosey to the Church

    Numberama, Nameorama, COT

    MOLESKIN

    As AC/DC once sang that was a Whole Lotta Mosey, well close enough.  Kubota clocked over 3 miles.  The loop itself around was measured at about 2, but with plenty of running in the Dora and high knees 3 miles seems about right.  YHC successfully confused Offshore so much he thought the Kanawha tennis courts were part of some unknown baseball complex.  Apparently still dazed he took to doing his Monkey Humpers in oncoming traffic.  As he snapped out of it and avoided disaster, he joked that the headline would read “Local Man Dies Doing Monkey Humpers.”  YHC noted, “At least you’d die doing what you loved.”  Thanks for getting up extra early to see some sites.  Make it a great one.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    Offshore is looking to start a new Tuckahoe 3rd F, details forthcoming

  • I [heart] MILFs

    Are moms hot? Are ball dippers single count or double count? 100 reps then 200 reps then 300 — how does that work? Eight seekers of knowledge posted to Source of Truth; here’s what they learned:

    COP: Invisible jump ropes x 20 (Tclaps to OC for the Floyd Mayweather flair); hillbillies x 15; Don Quixotes x 10 (YHC almost blew an O ring in this one); cherry pickers x 10; Suzanne Somers x 10 per side; Heels to Heaven x 20.

    IP run (The Six does 3 Hand Release Merkins then pursues) to the track

    THANG 1: BBC Catch Me If You Can

    Lap 1: PAX A Bernie Sanders, PAX B 3 burpees and pursues; flapjack

    Lap 2: PAX A Bear Crawls, PAX B 6 ball dippers and pursues; flapjack (This sucked. Big time).

      Lap 3: PAX A Carioca, PAX B 3 crabcakes and pursues; flapjack.

      Long mosey to the hill for:

      THANG 2: MILFS

      PAX A sprints up hill and back while PAX B exercises; flapjack and repeato until team rep counts are reached:

      Merkins x 100
      Imperial Walkers x 200
      Little Baby Crunches x 300
      Freddie Mercuries x 200
      Sumo Squats x 100

      Long mosey around school, the sprint the length of the front drive to the flag.

      COT: Numberama, name-o-rama, announcements, YHC took us out.

      NMMS: Boberry is Shivering in the River this Saturday and Doozy is organizing a moving crew this evening for a parishioner in need at his church – check Slack channel for deets. That 220 yard bear crawl was a mouthful, but this beast mode PAX chewed it up. Hats off, gents.

    • Back in the Saddle

      YHC has been sidelined with the flu.  Seeing that there was no Q, signed up last night, not knowing it was going to be wet and rainy.  No worries.  With one HBR faithful warrior, Handshake, in tow, we commenced a covered workout as YHC works his way back into shape.  Here is how it went down:

      • Mosey to the bus loop for COP
      • 30 SSH
      • 15 IW
      • 10 DQ
      • 15 helicopters
      • 20 merkins
      • 40 2x LBC
      • 10 2x Suzanne Somers, each leg
      • 25 APD
      • 12 minutes of alternating burpees and donkey kicks
      • Modified straight-line 4 corners (4 stops with 10, 15, 20, 25 reps)
        • HRM
        • WWII sit-ups
        • Monkey humpers
        • Crab cakes
      • Mosey back to the parking lot for COT with YHC taking us out

      I have missed the PAX and missed this AO.  Good to be back with a faithful warrior.  Hopefully the weather will improve and bring back more of the PAX in future weeks.  The burpees and donkey kicks were a good kick-starter to getting back in shape.

      God is good all of the time!

    • Half measures

      Seven of us assembled for this evening’s Punisher. Twenty-five yard mosey off of the parking lot and into the grass (mostly) for COP with 25 x SSHs, 15 x IWs, 15 x DQs, 15 x Russian Soldiers, 12 x Suzanne Somers (each side), 25 x Hello Dollys, and Arm Circles – 30 Small (forward and reverse) then 15 Large (forward and reverse).

      Move to the edge of the school and line up for 11s. Run the length of the school wall, drop for 10 Wide Grip Merkins and hop up for 1 Squat. Return to the start for 9 and 2. Continue until 1 and 10 completed.

      Begin team Bearimeter. Three begin to Bear Crawl to the east and around the school. Four run forty paces and return. Switch roles. Continue switch until we reach the bus loop. Begin Lindsays with 30 Reverse Crunches and 10 Captain Morgans (single count Squats with one leg on the curb). Continue, adjusting count by 5 reps, until 10 and 30 completed.

      Resume alternating Bear Crawl in the direction of the playground. Stroll-mosey the final 20 yards. Begin Super 21 alternating Carolina Dry Docks and single count Boxing Cockroaches. Start with 1 rep of each. Complete 2 reps of each. Add another rep of each per round, aiming for 21 reps of each. Break after 10 reps of each for 10 Jerkins under the swings. Break again after 15 reps and 18 reps. Halt after 18 reps given limited remaining time and mosey back around the school. Bearimeter and Super 21 unfinished!

      A minute of stretching in front of the school before returning to the parking lot for COT. YHC took us out.

      Nice work guys. Great turnout. Have a good week.

    • No I didn’t forget my cloths

      Rounders, Corned Beef and Trout ventured out on the 4 mile chicken biscuit loop over in Rutland. Mudface and No Idea did their thang around the school…

      Met back up at the school…numbers, no announcements, prayer….out…

    • The Day Our Clothes Are Supposed to Stay Clean

      8 SOJers and Annie welcomed YHC and Sally for a run on the trails.

      With the Q sheet open last night, and Gumbo’s solo run last week, YHC thought Sally might be the only company this morning. A strong showing by the PAX was a welcome surprise. Tclaps for Marmaduke, Honeymoon, and Annie who also posted to OTB yesterday.

      We ran down toward the river and took some loops on the trails. Rosie was a capable tour guide. The entire PAX was in sight throughout most of the run thanks to headlamps and no leaves on the trees.

      Nancy Lopez took a spill on a tree root, and his comment inspired the BB title. YHC hopes he is okay.

      Check out http://forethecause.org and mark your calendars for May 15th. See Nancy Lopez and Wilson for more details.

    • Sandersing

      Six tenacious thrill-seekers erratically parked at Hoedown this morning for a late sign-up edition of a Splinter Q. After describing how much sleep YHC lost over the past few days thinking about this Q, off we went for something similar to what is transcribed below.

      Quick double loop counter clockwise around the drop off loop in honor of Upchuck ?. Diversion after turn 3 of lap 2 up the stairway and to the center of the sea of black.

      COP
      – 10x Donald Quixotes
      – 1x Burpee
      – 15x HIGH Knees
      – 2x Burpee (accurately predicted by Hitchhiker)
      – 15x Arm Circles each direction
      – 3x Burpee
      – 20x American Hammers
      – 4x Burpee
      – 15x Imperial Walkers
      – 5x Burpee
      – 15x Mountain Climbers
      – 6x Burpee
      – 10x Lunges
      – 7x Burpee
      – 15x Hillbillies
      – 8x Burpee
      – 20x LBCs
      – 9x Burpee
      – 10x Kimchi Twists
      – 10x Burpee

      Very short mosey to the very short basketball hoop (appropriately sized for some PAX members) and wait for Upchuck to demonstrate his inner Spud Webb. Small 4 corners bounded by two basketball goals. 10x merkins, 20x squats, 30x WWIIs, 40x Flutter Kicks (2 count). Alternate bear crawling and lunging between stations.

      Slightly longer mosey to the southeast corner of the black sea for a full sized 4 corners. Increase count by 5 for previous exercises. Skip jump between stations with arm waving OYO.

      Anticipating complaints due to the lack of moseying, YHC led the PAX for a brief mosey down Lindsay. Partner up for catch me if you can. After some discussion around the intended outcome of Bernie Sanders, and Handshake catching his breath, partner 1 starts “Sandersing” up the hill while partner 2 completes 3 burpees then runs forward to tag partner. Continue up the hill.

      Mosey back down the hill with great fanfare.

      Same partners, suicides up Lindsay with lit lamp posts on the right acting as the lines. Partner 1 runs legs 1 & 3 and partner 2 runs legs 2 & 4. Idle partner squats and jumps repeatedly.

      Needing to run back up the hill, YHC beckoned alternate “Sandersing” and forward run with the lamp posts acting as the transition point. Convene at the top before scurrying back to the parking lot for 2 minutes or mary which included reverse crunches and LBCs.

      Numbers and Salutations before ample prayer requests with YHC taking us out.

      Great fun today fellas.
