It was just like old times as seven PAX gathered to celebrate my F3 Anniversary. As some of you know, my first workout was last February on the coldest day of 2019. Today, we were greeted by 41 degree (and dropping) temperatures, but fortunately for us it was also wet …
YHC spent a few minutes Thursday evening after a second Thanksgiving meal to lay out a workout for Friday after Thanksgiving. The plan was to keep it simple, no nonsense and focus on burning a few calories from the food and drink consumed the day before. The alarm clock went …
While in awe at the number of Merkins the ISI folks had been posting during the month, QIC decided that it was time to give the group a break and work on other basic exercises this fine morning. Warmup: 20 SSHs, 20 Imperial Walkers, 20 Mountain Climbers, 15 Abe Vigodas, …
Since the Rolling Stones didn’t get to play Jazz Fest, it was only appropriate to pay them homage. Not to mention, Rudy was back from “surgery”, kind of like Mick Jagger. Did you see Jagger’s dance moves after heart surgery? Yeah, we didn’t get that from Rudy today. Warmup:Side straddle …
We posted for a beatdown at 6am in preparation for the REX ROYAL RUN 2019. We arrived to find it under 40 degrees and to find Fracsac and Two Yutes had already run a lap around the park. A quick disclaimer – then we mosey’d over the bandstand. A brief …
Morning broke over the Uptowner, where YHC made a rare appearance for a Friday Q. 6 more PAX joined to start the day with a sweaty beatdown. Warm Up: YHC almost started with a Mosey, before remembering this is The Uptowner. So instead, right here – circle up! SSH x25 …
Sorry, really late backblast. Better late than never, but not much as the memory had faded. I do remember the warm-up, or at least the theme. It is common for a Pontiff workout to start with 31 Side Straddle Hops. Wally Pontiff, the namesake of the park, wore 31 playing …
Conditions: Overcast and 61. Perfect morning to get some work in. I showed up about 12 minutes early to find Hand Grenada had beaten me to the AO. He helped me set up the “equipment” for today’s Hero WOD. (Thanks to Triple Shift for the buckets of water he stashed …
It’s been gloomy this week. A good resbit before the Turkish steam bath that is soon to arrive. QHC sees a lonely silhouette of a PAX ready to go. It’s Hand-Grenada, our FNG from Monday gratis Walleye. He’s nervously peering into the chasm for the pumping station into Pontiff. It’s …
Hawg sent around a text the night before that there was no Q for the morning Post. QHC stepped up to the plate two weeks ago and didn’t want to hog the honor, but wondered who would do so. As YHC meandered over to the AO, he saw a familiar …
