FNG1 = Daly (Watch Tower 2.0)
760 Run Club (3-mile standard) participants included Camelback, Pit Stop, Calypso, Crocs, Something, Mr. Holland and YHC. I don’t think any of us earned a free beer, yet. It seems the 760 club keeps extending the qualification just before we all meet it, like a dangling carrot in front of the ass’s face.
Once we all got back to the launch pad and created our own puddles of sweat, we got after it. I’m pretty sure even the pax that didn’t run the standard were already excreting perspiration from every pore. Here’s what happened during the Night Ranger event, to the best of my knowledge…
Warmorama (as if we needed to get any warmer) was a mosey to the picnic tables for:
SSH x10ic, IST x10ic, Windmill x10ic, mosey to the street corner for step ups
Mosey to the old Town Hall for step hops to the top and back down x10.
Mosey to the old Town Hall parking lot for some various line hops x15ic (including side to side, front to back and NKOTB), Curb Kickers/Balboas/Riverdance/Mohammed Ali’s x20ic, then finally, some line inchworms and worminches with Mericans.
Mosey to the sidewalk for modified Cacka Lacka Choo Choo to the end of the sidewalk.
Mosey to the caboose for a repeato of step hops to the top and back down x4ic.
FIELD DAY:
Break into to 2 groups and start on opposite sides of the field at the first tree. Do one Jump Squat on your side of the field, then Evasive Karaoke (picture 2 lines of pax on a collision course) to the other side of the field, progressing one tree forward (S2K). Then 2 Jump Squats, Karaoke back to the other side, progressing another tree forward…until you get to the other end of the field.
REPEATO all that with Mericans and Side Shuffles instead of Jump Squats and Karaoke.
Partner Up with Partner 1 doing Lunge walks through the field to the next tree and Partner 2 bear crawling. Switch every tree until you get to the end of the field.
Self-Inflicted Fatal Wounds (I can’t tell if that is a PC enough title for “Suicides”): Run to the first tree, 2 CDD, run back, 5 WW2 Sit Ups, next tree 4 CDD, back to 5 WW2 Sit Ups, etc etc.
We made our way back to the AO and stopped to attempt the Australian Peel Back along the way. That, my friends, is not a good representation of F3 during an evening workout for all the passing cars to see. Well, maybe it is an exact representation. I’ll leave it up to you.
Once back to the parking deck, the pax were temporarily distracted by a commissioner candidate pulling up to abscond attention and gain more votes. After 30 seconds of discussion, all pax were convinced to vote for someone else and rejoined the workout for MARY:
Pretzel Crunch x15ic each side, Low Flutter x20ic, J-Lo x10ic.
FIN
MOLESKIN:
-This had to have been the hottest workout I’ve ever been to. And, even so, pax showed, and gave it their “all.” I hope everyone had as much fun as I did during the physical agony.
-Mr. Holland is a social butterfly and instigated many return waves from passerby’s as the rest of us embarrassed ourselves with bad form. I’m sure he can tell you how many waves he was able to affect.
-It was either because Camelback suggested the exercise or was REALLY GOOD at it that someone recommended changing the exercise name from NKOTB to “The Camelback.”
-Evasive Karaoke is fun. And, Pit Stop learned early that if you get out in front, it’s a whole lot easier to avoid other pax.
-Calypso made some very valid points to make this workout even better for next time. When I plan on the fly, it definitely leaves lots of room for improvement. I hope he signs up to Q soon 😉
-Crocs must have blown his…er…used all his energy in his Q earlier in the day, or was it the Standard, or was it both? I was concerned I may have had to use my CPR skills on him.
-Something is great at following directions, for about 2 minutes. Then, you had better have someone else to explain the exercises close to him.
