  • Dance you Frackers, Dance! – from Fracsac

    Conditions: 50 degrees and dry with a wind chill making it feel like 40. Lots of missing Pax.

    Alarm went off and YHC debated posting due to some lingering soreness. That thought passed and headed to Pontiff arriving 5 minutes early. Curious who the Q was, pulled up the spreadsheet and saw it was…..FracSac?!?!?

    Planted the flag and started talking, apparently not a disclaimer as Rudy quickly pointed out. So disclaimer given and mosey to field for the warmup. Regular warmup stuff with a couple memorable moments. Hand Grenada refuses to dance. Bogey likes to get up close and personal during Peter Parkers.

    What to do when not enough time to plan? Don’t act like you don’t know.

    Mini Dora:

    Assigned partners through count off.
    50 Burpees
    100 ‘mericans
    150 squats

    Partner runs to 50 yard line and back.

    11s
    Burpees and Big Boi Sit-ups
    Bear crawl 15 yards between

    Dance across the field by lunge walking. This really stretches the knees.

    Finish off with Mary, including some wind shield wipers.

    Interestingly enough, there was Mumblechatter during the warmup and then it went quiet until the lunge walks.

    Thanks for posting with me and for making me a better person.

  • Rock Soup – from Hawgcycle

    Conditions: 71 degrees, Humidity 93%, Wind 1.1 mi/h from NW

    Pax: Rudy, Mahatma, Boo-Boo, Klinger, Fast Tax, Tenderloin, YHC

    Seven pax arrived at Rock City in a soupy, gloom. 5 were foolish enough to follow YHC. Wisdom comes with age and Tenderloin did his thing on the track.

    Warm-up
    • SSH x 31; Shoulder Taps x 15; IW x 20; Peter Parker x 15; Grass Grabbers x 10; LBCs x 20

    The Thang
    • 100 yard bear crawl
    • Big Boi sit-ups as we waited for the six. We didn’t wait long.

    Mosey to the Playground (the long way)
    • Pull-ups (3 sets of 10) and Merkins (AMRAP)
    • Swerkins (3 sets of 10), Big Bois (AMRAP), and Squats (AMRAP)

    Mosey to the Rock Pile and pick a rock you can press (ambiguously) 10-15 times, then mosey to the far end of the football field for Rock Suicides
    Curls
    • Carry Rock to 25 yd line; 10 curls; drop rock; sprint to goal line and back
    • Carry Rock to 50 yd line; 10 curls; drop rock; sprint to goal line and back
    • Carry Rock to 75 yd line; 10 curls; drop rock; sprint to goal line and back
    • Carry Rock to 100 yd line (aka opposite goal line); 10 curls; drop rock; sprint to goal line and back

    Repeato with Shoulder Presses (but only up to 50 yards)

    Repeato with Bench Presses (but only up to 50 yards)

    Return rocks and horses to stable back to the v-flag.

    • I knew these men weren’t playing around after the 100 yard bear crawl. Guys were getting after it. No breaks, and stayed off their knees
    • YHC’s communication skills were not the best this morning. A little bit of a cluster with the pull-ups. Although my ambiguity at the Rock Pile worked out. I told guys to pick a rock they could press 10 times. I meant shoulder press, but some interpreted it as bench press and got a bigger rock than they might have otherwise. That made it just right for the rock suicides.
    • T-claps to Klinger for really pushing it on the last sprint of every set.
    • We only had 6 but it was a strong 6. YHC feels like we had a pretty good pace and got some good work in.
    • Boo-Boo and Rudy were keeping each other honest on the swerkins.
    • Mahatma’s extra trip around the sun doesn’t seem to have slowed him any.
    • We tried to celebrate Mahatma’s birthday, but Rudy was there and let us know we weren’t finished celebrating his yet. We thought it was over after Saturday’s Yipee bag, but I think he was wanting a small celebration at PJs. I skipped coffee, but I heard Mahatma had to buy Rudy’s coffee.
    • T-claps for Tenderloin for his consistency. He’s putting in the work every day.

  • The return of the Yippee Bag – from Rudy

    The birthday tradition is back! Finally! Reasons outside of YHC’s control kept the Yippee Bag from its traditional August date, but better late than never. 12 PAX got to experience the joys and sorrows of The Yippee Bag ™ this fine morning. That included one DR visitor (Extinguisher from JAX), one second-timer (welcome back Igor!) and one FNG (thanks Igor and Triple Shift).

    Disclaimer given, mosey to the Big Lawn. Quick review of The Yippee Bag ™ Rules: Basically, there are none. Pick from the bag, the card provides instructions for what happens. Exercises 4 U. Exercises 4 the PAX. Exercises 4 the Q. Fun and Games. Its a crapshoot!

    Circle Up for the warmup. Catfish kicks us off by pulling “20 Merkins for Someone”, and of course – he selects YHC. Its gonna be that kind of day. So the warm up continued in a very disjointed manner, as War Eagle also reached into the bag. In between Situps, 8 counts, Burpees – the PAX managed to get in a bit of a warmup.

    Thing 1: Bear Crawl (maybe 25 yards), then 7 burpees. Crab Walk, 14 merkins, Bear Crawl, 21 Squats, Walk Crab, 28 BBSU. In between, we had LOTS of cards drawn. Everyone’s in on the game. Bogey pulls out the Bear Crawl Relay. Mahatma draws Crab Walk Red Light/Blue Light, and more and everyone is pulling out more Burpees. War Eagle has to go to the MINI to rifle carry the ANDY block.

    Thing 2: Head over to grab a rock. Meanwhile, YHC has to do 10 more 8 ct body builders. 10 Overhead, Rifle carry, 10 Curl, Rifle carry, 10 Row. Return to the tree. Repeat with 9. Then 8. More and more cards. FNG gets selected for 10 Bobby Hurleys – whoa, that guy can jump. Definitely on Team Pontiff for future Ultimate games. Quick game of SPUD (oh, *thats* what the football was for). This devolved into barely controlled chaos. Keep lifting rocks. Then its time to put the rocks away.

    Thing 3: Mosey to the MINI. Partner up for some Dora in the parking lot. PAX 1 – run (w/ bricks), 1 brick-pee, then return. 50 Hand-release merks, 100 Squats, 150 Situps. Klinger drew a “Sing Happy BDay to Q”. He did a great job (while YHC had to do more Burpees). Bogey won the “Hold Your Breath” contest (in his defense, YHC had just run a lap while everyone else was holding low plank).

    Time ran out nearly at the same time as the Yippee Bag ran out. Back to the (Virtual) flag.

    COT: Reviewed 5 principles for the FNG. Then we all know the drill. FNG named “Tesla” due to his South African background.

    Thank you all for humoring me again!

  • Something for Everyone – from Boo-Boo

    13 men came to the Wally Sprint for varying flavors of difficulty, but all with the purpose of becoming stronger than when they arrived.

    Ruckers- Logo, Charmin, Hokie, Kenner Brah, Macgyver, Boo-Boo, Klinger, and Baloo completed 2.37 miles followed by nine minutes of Mary incorporating weighted rucks.

    Tenderloin did his thing.

    Sprinters- Hawg, Frac, Pai Gow, Mambi mindlessly sprinted around the track and showed up to COT dizzy.

    COT, prayers, OUT! Coffeteria followed with partial attendance.
