RounTrey

  • Rubba Dub Dub

    9 grown-boys showed up to The Alamo this morning. As Flyboy so eloquently stated in the group text, “Not sure where exactly I draw the line but this morning was definitely on the f*** that side of the line.” It appears that several other also found themselves on that side of the line as YHC was the only RounTrey rep.

    WARAMARA – Moseyed to the other side of the horeshoe. Gave the mission, stretched out and got into it. Side note, do you still take baths? If not, at what age did you stop? Answer in the comments please.

    The THANKG – The PAX took an XL mosey throughout the neighborhood to appreciate the lights. QTY (10) exercies at each major intersection with some sprints mixed in. We also made some strategic stops along the way to make sure that the Fart-sackers knew the WE knew where they lived.

    • Rosie’s 12 Days of Christmas

    PRAYERS/WINS

    • Spread the word about F3!
    • We can’t win ’em all. Keep showing up!

  • Hyrox F3 Style

    YHC started off the day by picking up Matlock and a special guest, cutting off Swoop, and running an errand…

    Roll up at 5:29, hop out, let’s go.

    Mosey to cul-de-sac and back. The other week we got a lot of Ohio St facts, so I started off with some Hoosier-Daddy smack talk. 1 SSH for each point OSU scored and various other warm-up routines. YHC strongly suggested the PAX shed some layers and embrace the weather. Some obliged, some were stubborn. Arm Circles + Intensive Stares worked.

    To the tennis courts we go…

    4 stations setup
    1) bands tied to chain-link fence for “ski” pulls
    2) sandbags for squat thrusters
    3) bands tied to fence, around waist for shuttle runs
    4) broad jump burpees

    Split into 4 groups, 90 seconds AMRAP, then run as a group ~1/2 mile, switch to new station. Made it through 5 rotations

    Good work fellas! Was good to see some shorts out there today. Next Week Rudy’s Light run, followed by Nightmare Before Christmas and 12 Days of Christmas at No Toll

  • The week of the game

    What better way to start TTUN (That Team Up North) week than a Q at the Alamo. Some trivia was mixed in, and the PAX failed miserably. I will really need to add Buckeye education in my Q’s over the next year. YHC found himself feeling like Flyboy talking to the PAX about helicopters being met with Blank stares.

    Buckeye Trivia:

    Who is the only 2 time Heisman Trophy winner? Archie Griffith

    Who won the Natty in the first 4 team playoff and the first 12 team playoff? The Buckeyes!

    What state was Woody Hayes in when asked about getting gas he replied “ We will not spend one cent in this state, if we run out of gas we will push the Bus to Ohio”. TSUN

    Who was the linebacker Woody punched at the end of the 1979 Gator Bowl, effectively ending his career? Charlie Bauman

    How many National Championships does Ohio State have? 9

    *The events described here are based on true events.  Some of the names, places and exercises may have been changed to protect the innocent.  This was also modified to fit your screen.  

    Quick mosey around the to start.  COP- 20 each SSH, LBC; Willy Mays Hayes, 10 Each, Jim Duggan’s,  Jazzercise, Helicopters, Imperials Walkers, , Copper head squat, Cherry pickers, Merkins, Dollies, Flutters.

    The Thing: Horseshoe (In honor of the greatest stadium in all of sports). Progressive starting at 5 building by 5 up to 35 and then back down. Many exercises were performed.

    YHC took us out in prayer. Have a Happy and safe Thanksgiving.

  • What’s the time?

    10 grown-boys ran around RounTrey this morning. In order to get them their credit and get my kids down for bed, I’ll give the sparknotes.

    PRAYERS/WINS

    • Holiday stress

  • Crabtastic Q

    Between work travel and football-fartsacking, YHC has missed a few Alamo’s and wanted to get back out there. No better motivation than to put your name on the Q sheet! I completed my pre-blast on a paper plate and sent it to the group the night before.

    Gathered the group, mosey to start things off. Fresh legs led to a tempest pace out the gates. Warmup to get the blood flowing on a chilly morning.

    First THANG – Pyramids
    These are becoming a favorite of mine. Start with one exercise, add one exercise each round. After completing 6 exercises in a round, we start dropping one.
    One the tennis court along the base line (some may call it other things but they are foolish)
    1 – Shuttle run
    2 – hand release merkins x10
    3 – mountain climbers for Swoop x20
    4 – Superman planks (Nancy named these, send all complaints his way) x10
    5 – J-LO pickle poppers x10
    6 – Burpees x5
    Editor’s Note: It would appear from the mumble-chatter that shoulders were burning amongst the group

    Second THANG – Triple Check
    Per plate instructions, head to the hill behind the hill and locate 5 sandbags in the dark.
    Runner – run up hill with sandbag, lunge down the hill.
    P2 – No surrenders
    P3 – Lt Dans
    Editor’s note: It would appear from mumble chatter that legs were still struggling after Friday’s SH workout. YHC intended this to be true.

    Third THANG – Bunker Kicks
    Mosey to bunker for a series of Donkey Kicks / I am not worthy / Wall Sits

    BTTF for ring of fire abs edition.

    Announcements – Bridge this weekend, Hutton leading. Bunch of people doing Richmond Half – send them some love! Chili cookoff 11/23 @ 3pm, signup sheet on Slack.

  • Welcome to the Ala(b)mo

    On this chilly October dawn 15 men bravely humored me as I converted the Alamo to a Laboratory and experimented with a previously undiscovered Four Corners formulation. Here’s how it went down:

    Warm Up: We warmed up with a mosey followed by side straddle hops, Jazzercise, deadman hangs, merkins, and a variety of wives.

    Workout 1 – Four Corners Accordion Style: The Pax splits into groups of 4. At corner 1, the first man begins with LBCs while the three remaining in the group jog to corner 2. At corner 2, the Hims complete 10 toe taps on the curb before leaving man 2 to keep tapping while 3 and 4 advance to corner 3. At corner 3, both men perform 10 squats. Man 3 keeps squating while man 4 heads to corner for 4 and performs 10 burpees. Man 4 then returns to each corner and collects his team. Upon returning to corner 1, Man 4 begins LBCs while the three other men in the group head back out and advance to a corner they had not yet completed. Repeat until each man has completed each corner. This Morning the Pax performed the Accordion Corners twice.

    Workout 2 – Meets the Fellas: Accordion Four Corners taking considerable less time than anticipated so we headed to the tennis court to Meet the Fellas. The Pax Paired off for four rounds of fitness style Rock, Paper, Scissors (RPS). Round 1 – Lunge to the center, partner clap merkins, RPS. Loser takes a lap. Round 1 – Bear Crawl to the center, partner clap squats, RPS, loser takes a lap. Round 3 – Lunge to center, partner clap WWIIIs, RPS, loser runs. Round 4 – Bear Crawl to center, partner clap merkins, RPS, loser runs.

    Workout 3 – Tennis Court Laps: At this point having severally under planned for the days event we finished the workout with about 7 minutes of laps around the tennis court. Side 1-lunge. Side 2-Kareoke. Side 3-Back pedal. Side 4-Kareoke.

    Ended with a circle of trust. Announcements: Chili at the Alamo and Father Daughter dance coming up. See Slack for details. Prayers for all preparing for RVA Marathon/Half and for all F3 men to keep coming out and getting after it.

    Thank you fine gentlemen for humoring me and the Accordion style Four Corners this morning. Its always an honor to lead you.

  • The Smallest 4 Corners

    17 HIMs came out for what planned to be an easier, low cardio start to the week. YHC started off with a little mosey and some warmarama ( SSH, Cherrypickers, Dead man Hang, Merkins, Freddies, LBCs).

    With there being 17 YHC thought “the pain cage” would be too small for the group to do a 4 corners so had to audible to do a 4 corners in the parking lot. Our resident women’s famous golfer of the group immediately commented that it was the smallest 4 corners he had ever seen and YHC took note….we completed the 4 corners.

    on to increase the cardio… we moved on to pumpkin alley for a Dora ( merkins, squats and LBCs) some quietly commenting the run was now too far! over to the cul de sac for some speed work as the pax all tried to take down wildcat as we ran from the beginning of the cul de sac to the green house after each called exercise. After all 17 HIMs had called an exercise of 10x and we ran to the end each time the Pax wiped and we mosey’d back to the flag.

    announcements / prayers …..Thanks for letting me lead this group!

  • Thank god for the wind

    11 of SOJ’s best started the week the right way with an Alamo beatdown. The wind was blowing and autumn has arrived, with Wildcat leaking gas the PAX was thankful of the wind. According to the lady going to the clubhouse gym this is what happened.

    COP- 20 each SSH, LBC; Willy Mays Hayes, 10 Each, Jim Duggan’s,  Jazzercise, Helicopters, Imperials Walkers, , Copper head squat, Cherry pickers, Merkins, Dollies, Flutters.

    Split the PAX. I runner to end of lot on each side while pax perform exercise. 3 minutes of Mary to close us out.
