Tag: First Watch

4 fools saw the 24 degree forecast and said why not, to post at 5 am. With the all PAX SOP we got moving:

COP: SSH, Don Qs, Merkins, Helicopters, Russian Soldiers, Scorpion Kicks (Kubotas call), and LBCs.

Kubota Q: Run the Grassy triangle with 10 Merkins at each corner. Backwards run the long section. Repeato 3 xs (?). Then 3 rounds of 20 PLTs.

Mosey over to RRCB lot. Wheelbarrow up & down lot.

EF Hutton Q: Dora 123 of HRMs, Mtn Climbers, & LBCs.

Handshake Q: 4 Corners (escalating) of 15 HRMs, 25 WWIIs, 35 Jump squats, & 45 SSHs. Honeydo Q with 87 seconds left – back to flag for 6 inches (Hooooolllllddddd it!) YHC took us out.

NMS – Cold temps but beautiful morning with full moon and dry ground. Only a handful of icy spots in the parking lot. Best sight at 5 am is 8 bare knees in the gloom. 3 of the PAX were sporting winter beards (kubota just barely) so faces were warm.

This new AO is headlamp recommended but not required. Wasn’t needed this morning as we did not tackle south ridge hill. EF Hutton was a gentleman and turned his lamp off before he started knocking out his PLTs. Any view seen during the PLTs need to remember the Seinfeld quote “There was shrinkage”

Day 2 of YHC getting handed the Hot Potato at the last second and getting stuck with the BB.

Handshake hit us up with 60 HRMs not 5 minutes after us doing 100 HRMs during the Dora. Total Merkin count for the morning was about 200. Week 3 of this experiment makes this “Kubota’s Sanity Check” workout a success.

The post-election extra early gloom welcomed 4 early risers ready to get their day started extra early. Here is what went down after Handshake found the correct parking lot.

Cherry Pickers x 15

Don Quixotes x 10

Jazzercises x 10

Then do 25 donkey kicks and bear crawl/crawl bear again. Wall sit for the six. Mosey to big parking lot for a DORA. Timer runs length of parking lot and back. Partners complete 100 x Squats, 200 x 2-count Freddy Mercury’s, 300 x step-ups on brick steps.

NMS:

Thanks to three new pax for meeting YHC for another early workout! Evidently, everyone was up early already this morning for various reasons. Feel better Honeydo! Wojo’s wedding plans are in full swing. This is the new darkest AO. Have a great day, all!

Kubota

YHC couldn’t choose just one title this morning, so you get three.

5 early risers posted at a new location (River Road Church – Baptist) at a new time (5am) to test out something different this morning in the gloom. After EF Hutton found the right parking lot and Splinter, HoneyDo and Bodos made their way in, this is what went down.

Mosey around the parking lot and circle up for:

COP:

SSH’s x 20

Helicopters x 15

Russian Soldiers x 10

Don Quixote’s x 10

Jazzercises x 10

let’s mosey!

In between sets, travel up Ridge using the following means of transportation: High Knees, Butt Kickers, Russian Soldier walk, Bernie Sanders, Bear Crawl.

Mosey back up to parking lot and commence with stations:

Station 1 – Overhead Press with Ruck Sack

Station 2 – Lawn Mower pulls with Kettlebell

Station 3 – Flutter Kicks

Station 4 – Kettlebell swings

Station 5 – Burpees

Two rounds of stations

Toss Potato to Splinter:

Saunter over River Road to the wall behind the church and perform “walking balls to the wall.” Line up in balls to the wall form and hand walk to the left along the wall.  LOL!

Mosey around the back of the church to the big parking lot and at each white post (there were several), perform 5 jump squats. Bear crawl in between each post. Turn around and do it again, except 5 hand release merkins at each post and lunge in between.

Head back to the VSF for:

Numberama, Namearama, Announcements and YHC took us out!

Announcements:

Please keep Honeydo’s in-laws in your prayers. His Father-in-Law had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Stache for Cash is coming to an end tomorrow night at Midnight! The goal has not been reached yet! Please donate!

Bodos’ Dogpile VQ is this Saturday! Be there!

NMS:

YHC had reached out to the Tuckahoe PAX last week to see if there was any interest in a 5am Wednesday boot camp since YHC cannot get out at 5:30-6:15am anymore during the week due to M’s work schedule and 2.0’s school schedule. There was lots of feedback, but the feedback was all over the place. HoneyDo texted YHC yesterday morning and said that he would workout with YHC at River Road Church – Baptist at 5am. It was extra special to have Splinter, Bodos and EF Hutton post as well! Thanks for indulging me. This is definitely in the testing stages. Location may change, stay tuned.

Have a great day!
