  • Why not: 100 Yard 11’s

    Taking some Heinous ideas from the Lumberyard recently, here was the Daville workout Thang:

    At the track and football field. 100 Yd 11’s:

    10 Jumping Split Lunges one endzone …………… 1 Burpee other endzone
    9 Jumping Split Lungers one endzone ………….. 2 Burpees other endzone
    8 ……………………. 3
    etc

    In the middle! To keep everyone on their toes:

    • Jog 50%
    • Run 75%
    • Sprint 100% speed, there and back
    • Skip
    • Bear or Crab crawl

    After 30 minutes of Fire, we had 30 minutes of Fun. Ultimate Frisbee season is coming, and it’s time to awaken the ancient skills.

    3 vs. 2 Ultimate Frisbee Sudden Death
    (When you don’t have even numbers or enough for full game, start at 50 Yd line with 3 on offense, 2 on defense, and get 3 attempts to score in back of net. Switch. Rinse and Repeat)

  • Can’t Tell The Weather From Our Clothes

    Four brave and variously-attired men descended upon DaPile for a hot potato beatdown (the only thing that was hot until Local Cup later on). I think it went like this:

    Helix led a COP with all the standard favorites, then a mosey to another parking lot. Each island compounded the previous exercises:
    1: 10 merkins
    2: 20 squats
    3: 30 PLTs
    4: 40 side straddle hops
    5: 50 LBCs

    Opus took the Q and took us to the back of campus for a Love Slight Incline. Partner 1 runs to the stop sign and back while Partner 2 alternates broad jump burpees, bear crawling, or lunges. It took a while, though not as long as expected.

    Mr. Holland took us home, completing the lap around campus whilst stopping for 25 of whatever exercise we hadn’t done enough of. Typical Mr. Holland kind of crap, really.

    No announcements to speak of, but the PAX somehow grew by 50% at the Local Cup. Good times were had.

    Great job today everybody with this challenging workout. Last night, YHC was with an old neighbor who had recently been laid off into retirement. YHC asked Corned Beef when he was planning on retiring. CB said his job doesn’t really have retirement, but a friend advised him to start taking a day off here and there. He said on Thursday, he took the day off. He then expanded on this discussion with Bulkhead. From a distance, YHC believes he talked about taking a week and going to Florida as well as one other place. Helix then said to me, “Did he just say Nairobi?” That is what YHC heard as well.

    As we all get closer to retirement, this plan of learning how to retire one day at a time might be best. Instead of working 40 – 60 hours a week and then stopping all together, starting taking a day here and a day there. Over time, take a few more days or even a week and slowly start stepping away. Sounds like a great plan.

    Afterwards, we gathered at The Local Cup with Opus joining us for the 2nd F.

    Announcements – Frozen Triangle – February 8 – See Pre-Blast.

    Have a great day everybody!
