RounTrey

  • Rucktrey Standard Saturday

    The lads rucked on a brisk Saturday morning. Part of New Year’s resolutions are consistency and showing up everyday for yourself. This set of pax showed up and did the task asked. 3.5 miles of walking and talking with some heavy loads on their backs (pause).

  • Quiet morning in Rountrey

    8 men met in a neighborhood pool parking lot to see what “Jabroni” had in store for The Alamo crew and this is what transpired.

    Mosey back and forth in the Parking Lot and complete a COP.

    Mosey back to the Parking Lot entrance and complete a 6 Mailboxes forward, 1 back and then complete 15 of an exercise and 10 of another exercise. Various exercises (SSH’s, LBC’s, Merkins, HMR’s, Squats, Imperial Walkers, WWI’s, WWII’s, H2H’s, Pole Smokers, Carolina Dry Docks, Derkins, etc.).

    We moseyed left on Graythrone, right on Litton, left on Endstone. We took a detour onto the trail by the lake and went up the trail and then back and then completed our journey down on Endstone Trail, left on Port Savage, then right on Rankin to finish our loop.

    Announcements – Breaking Bread is open the end of January (the last Saturday and Sunday of the month). New Years Day Convergence Thursday 1/1 at Dogpile at 0700.

    Prayer Requests – continued prayers for Wildcat and Charlotte (my M’s Cousins Daughter). Wildcat is headed to Fairfax on January 6th and then begins a new regimen on January 13th. Charlotte was in Cleveland at the Cleveland Clinic the other week, but she’s back home now.

    NMS – very quiet Pax this morning. Other than diligent counting during the COP the Mumble Chatter was minimal until we turned onto the Walking Path the chatter started to come to life. Wildcat was sharting the entire time, prayers for his Skivvy’s.

    It’s been a while since YHC has been to The Alamo. YHC was glad to see an empty Q sheet on Sunday evening.Thanks for having me out.

    PS – Happy Birthday to Matlock

  • 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.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS

    • 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

  • OSU wins

    COT

  • 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.

    • 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.
