It was an exciting day at Twin Team Lounge! 11 men arrived to a new flag location and fully functioning coffee stand. Here is a brief summary for your viewing pleasure:Mosey to back of BWES for warmup: No counting or cadence – just move across the bus loop. Ukranian Soldiers, Forward Straddle Hops, Hillbillies, Knee Pulls, Karoake, Bernie Sanders, Mummy Kicks, Raise the Roofs. I might have missed a couple. Exercise One: 4 Corners, Wall Work Edition. We used the school as our square: 10 Chicken Peckers, 20 Donkey Kicks, 30 Wall World II Sit ups, 40 Hoe Downs. Take…
Fresh off GTE #59, L Woods took the Q and challenged the PAX to reflect on one question before the beatdown began:“What’s one thing you need to get back on track in your life?” We then proceeded to work the track for the entirety of the post. Warm-a-Rama Side Straddle Hops Imperial Walkers Don Quixotes LBCs Alabama Prom Dates Freddie Mercuries The Thang 1. Indian Run 11sCones marked each quarter of the track. Start with 1 burpee and 10 butterfly sit-ups, increasing reps with each lap. 2. Four Corners — Round 1 (on track) Cone 1 – 10 Merkins Cone…
3 HIM met at the Alamo to go for a little before sunrise jog around the treyborhood. 4th HIM upon fart sacking met the cohort mid way through the endeavor. He was dressed in all white and appeared out of the morning mist. It was like Gandalf the white in lord of the rings. Quite the sight. The PAX pressed on completing 5 miles. The Q might have gone over the standard 45 minute time limit, but as his wife tells him it’s always better to last a little longer than required than not long enough. Overall great run. More…
4 Over Achievers joined up at the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary for the first Extra Credit session in several weeks. But Pull Ups are back and here to stay. There were some pull ups, pull up negatives, some jerkins, some dips, and some incline merkins. But a good time was had.
Knew I might be solo today so I opted to run from the house at 5:20 down to the AO. Couple swings through the parking lot around 5:30. No one showed, continued to run through the Tarrington hood back over Robious to Twin Team and home. 4 miles as usual. Minimal mumble chatter. Nice morning for a run. -Singer
A solid band of brothers converged to welcome an uprange Q and a local FNG. Here’s how these 16 gloom cats toured the spooky streets of Rountrey, meowing probably too loudly for the sleeping populace. The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey to the end of the lot and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer A wide selection of excellent Warm-up Reps IC broadening the minds of many newer PAX – yes, there IS more to F3! CULDESAC CIRCUIT: Mosey around the hood (maybe 1.6 miles), stopping at x7 culdesacs, with the PAX completing the following at each stop OYO: x5 Burpees x10 Jump…
3 weeks till Spartan, this is now a new phase. I have not done an OCR with less weight wasI probably 240-250 at all the other races before. I am at a much lighter weight so this will be the first time I can truly see how the changes feel. Yet today, 11 willing souls came out for a morning workout(the air turned fall real quick, I am not used to that quick change). A good warm up to start(SSH, DMH, Ukrainian Soldiers, Copperhead Squats) then added full court runner’s lunge with a twist, waking lunges, side shuffles). After that…
At least that’s what it felt like… until we arrived back at the flag with fewer miles than expected. Next time we’ll be faster.
Despite the early hour of 4am… two PAX in the predawn gloom in search of a few hours of miles for Big Rig, and 24 for YHC. We got a few laps in on some Brandermill paths. Some false starts and pit stops with bathroom trips and forgotten water bottles. Unfortunately YHC started feeling lightheaded and really out of it about 9 miles in. Pushed through and got in about 12. Decided to call it quits there and live to fight another day. Big thanks to Big Rig for continuing to stay with this broken down PAX. Also a TCLAPS…
