  • Vacations continue … and so do workouts – from Hokie

    As 0530 approached and no trains in eyesight, earshot or the app

    2 pax went running (which grew to four) and one went to KnOT and no one did S & M

    As 5 closed out at COT, we lifted up Frac’s mom and her recovery, Frac’s M and her continued health and Frac’s work headaches

  • Tuesday Trifecta – from Bolt

    Three options for the pax: Pai Gow sprinting, Scantron KnOT, Bolt S&M

  • Not hating on the H8 – from Bolt

    Six pax assembled in the gloom as many Pontiff regulars punched their passports by venturing to Okwata for the biannual H8. We weren’t hating on the H8; we simply chose not to do it. Instead, 3 ran, 2 rucked, 1 walked. YHC looks forward to the Fall H8 with a fully functioning shoulder to get my baseline. Honored.

  • El Diablo’s BDSM (Burpees Don’t Suck Much) – from Bolt

    In preparation for my 3 yr MANniversary Q 6/5, while DR in The Woodlands, YHC wanted to try something new, except of course for the warmorama song bc the pax want what they want and who am I to deny them?! Started with Abe Vigoda then followed by Abe SLOgoda after Bogey, at coffee recently, challenged the idea of what’s a warmup, contending that SSH is too high impact for a warmup. Next, of course, were SSH followed by the usuals. Walk the field backwards to the playground equipment, music blaring to create pax pleasure and pain, depending on the listener (GLORIOUS).

    Morning call x5: this made for a long plank and plenty merkins with 17 pax (it IS starting off to be a good morning), especially with Hand Grenada and Vagabond dragging ass to the pull up bar at the end. Mosey to pavilion where the skip rule was explained, prompting Rudy to immediately make us pay 5 burpees (no double skips so thank Rudy for Sandstorm).

    El Diablo Ds: Dry Docks, (20) (Fast Tax doesn’t like screaming, pay five burpees), Dolly (25), Dips (20), Dying Cockroches (31 just cuz), Derkins (20), Dirty Hookups (20), Diamond merkins (5, they suck at the end): all in varied cadence (the Pax loved that part). Mosey back to warmorama spot and circle up with me, no more skipping allowed.

    100 Burpee playlist (below): burpee the key word(s) and perform a movement in between (SSH, Seal claps, IW, OH claps). 30 sec rest between songs. YHC pivoted the fourth song to be LBC/wife pleasers and still ran outta time (Fast Tax was first to call time so that must mean it was good. Good meaning bad, not good meaning good—this pleased YHC). Honored, motivated, and appreciative as always, pax! COT.

    100 Burpee Playlist:
    Flower/Moby: SSH, “Down”
    Tubthumping/Chumbawumba: Seal
    Claps, “Down”
    Roxanne/Sting: Imperial Walkers, “Roxanne”
    Get Back Up/Toby Mac: OH claps, “Get back up”

  • Knees, Toes, Sprinting, and S&M – from Bolt

    Tuesdays have become quite the mixed bag of options and this week we had knees over toes, interval sprinting and stretch and mobility with a DR visitor, Buzz Kill, from Pearland, TX choosing S&M

  • Runners, Ruckers, and a Hokie – from Charmin

    The title says it all.

  • Some Ran, some rucked, some did knees over toes – from Hokie

    Yep… runners ran

    Ruckers rucked … starting late and then finishing late

    Others explored Knees over toes training

  • Charmin’s Foot Doesn’t Do That – from Bolt

    YHC gave the usual Wally Sprint disclaimer, “Runners run and stretchers stretch; push yourself stretch yourself, don’t hurt yourself. I’m not a trained professional.” Chain Link and Amazon DR from ATL joined the runners and Scantron kicked off the stretchers with knees over toes followed by stretches from yours truly. We discovered Charmin’s foot does not go vertical while in the runners stretch and we allow him to keep coming back anyway. We won’t leave you behind and we won’t leave you where we found you. We will, however, tease you relentlessly; where is Rudy when you need him!?

  • Runners, Stretchers, and Runners Who Became Stretchers – from Bolt

    After the Monday fartsack I decided to drop a comment in the Pontiff channel as a form of commitment to showing up today and upon rising I saw Pillsbury had made me accountable with a thumbs up emoji—no choice now; thank you, Pillsbury! As 530 struck, a dozen pax took to the track or the pavilion for their preferred version of the gloom—track sprints with Pai Gow or S&M with YHC. Triple and Mahatma split time between both. 45 minutes elapsed, then COT.
