  • The not so secret Wally Sprint – from Fracsac

    The Wally Sprint AO is no longer a secret, as could be seen with 17 posting today. Dinghy scoped it out last week and inevitably reported back to Moana that it was indeed an acceptable place to post. So Moana put his EH hat on and brought in a new member to our cult….err….Group!

    10 Pax sprinted under the direction of Pai Gow while rest did Knots or S&M. There’s something for everyone on Tuesday at Pontiff, so come on out and then hit up the Discipline is Destiny discussion after.

    Welcome Judy P! It’s a reference to a judge and his last name is Long. Apparently we need help in the naming category. TCLAPS to Moana for the EH!

    Oh, and Strava tells me I’m a local legend in the 400M at Pontiff. Think you can take the title? C’Mon!

  • 1988 National Championship – Again – from Rudy

    YHC decided to start the Birthday Week bonanza with a replay of his very first Q

    1988 National Champions – A Year in Review

    So as 530 struck, 9 PAX set off to the rock pile (it would grow to 12 as late arrivers Heisenberg, Mr Rogers and Wedding Planner joined us during the warm up) while another 5 went off for KoT.

    Circle Up for quick warm up to get blood moving. Grass Grabbers and Don Quixote (what they were called back in 2016, according to my backblast) and then describe the workout. Hand Grenada had the audacity to talk smack about the recency of this national championship. Yet he proudly recalled the 1959 Ole Miss championship year.

    Lets relive the year.

    Game 1: #13 ND 19 – #9 Michigan 17. 5 foot nothing freshman Reggie Ho boots 4 FGs. 19 count IW, SSH and Peter Parkers. False Start as Frac appropriately notified the Q that he was performing Hillbillies. And a 5 burpee penalty applied to Kenna Brah for talking smack.

    Game 2: ND 20 – MSU 3. 20 Merkins in cadence. NOLA football star Michael Stonebreaker returns an INT for a TD.

    Grab a Rock.

    Game 3: As our young QB (Tony Rice) starts showing of his arms, we’ll start working our arms. ND 52 – Purdue 7. Overhead x15, Curl x15, Row x15, Push x7. Drop the rock (Yes, Mayhem – that was 52 total)

    Game 4: ND 42 – Stanford 14. Repeat with x13, then x3 for the Push.

    Game 5: TRAP ALERT! Looking forward to upcoming “Game of the Century”, ND squeaks by. ND 30 – Pitt 20. Repeat with x9, then x3 for the Push

    Mosey to the football field, leave the rock on the baseline as we won’t be needing it for a bit.

    Game 6: Catholics vs Convicts! #4 ND 31 – #1 Miami 30. Hero of the game, Safety Pat Terrel with an interception return, and breaking up the potential game winning 2 pt conversion with 30 seconds remaining. We’ll sprint the 50 yards, 10 Squat Jumps, sprint 50 yards back.

    Games 7 & 8. The Military Academies. ND 41 – Air Force 13, and ND 22 – Navy 7. Suicide Sprints and Burpees. 10/20 then 10 burpees. 10/20/30 then 7 burpees. 10/20/30/41 then 5 burpees. Mr Rogers is FLYING through this.

    Game 9: ND 54 – Rice 11. Rocket takes it to the house! 80 yard sprint. Oh wait, HE DOES IT AGAIN. 80 yard sprint back.

    Grab your rocks, head to the pavillion

    Game 10: ND 21 – PSU 3. Bad weather so the passing game is shelved, leaning on the stable of RBs. Work our quads with Step Ups – x21 each side.

    Game 11: 2nd “Game of the century” of the year. #1 ND 27 – #2 USC 10. Coach Lou Holtz sends 2 starters home for “improprieties”. What integrity! We’ll take a seat in the people’s chair and watch the game with them. 27 seconds, then 10 curls. Repeat.

    Getting late – return rocks, head back to the flag.

    Game 12: #1 ND 34 – #4 WVU 21. Finish up with 34 LBC as we were running behind.

    COT: Count Off, Prayers for Mr Rogers for his surgery this week. He swears he’ll be back for the Friday Birthday Q!!! YHC remains incredibly grateful for this group of men and the accountability and encouragement they bring. Prayers that we all may bring those same skills and abilities to all of our encounters.

  • It Wasn’t Me – from Architect

    Since the listed Q didn’t show, and no one else stepped up, I had no choice but to take the lead and use my enhance mental capacity to scheme up a decent workout on the fly.

    Disclaimer provided, encouragement provided to push one’s self. Warm-ups conducted.

    Mosey’d to playground for some group therapy. First group hung out, second group just sat there, and the third remained face down. Threw in some squats because there were some special requests for leg work. PAX rotated through the three stations above.

    Partnered up and grabbed some rocks. Round 1 – Pairs made it across the baseball field, one riffled carried, the other bear crawled (also by special request). Partners switched as needed. Round 2 – repeat round 1 but with lunges (again, trying to accommodate special requests)

    PAX whined about HR remaining too low (obviously they neglected to listen to the disclaimer). YHC threw in some sprints and BBsitups. After rocks returned, workout concluded with some Mary and COT.

  • Sprinting, KoTing, and S&Ming – from Fracsac
