BloodMoon Circuits – In Cadence

Event Date

Jan 21, 2019


9 PAX gathered on a chilly Monday, bundled up for the frozen tundra.

Warm Up:

IC SSH – 20

IC Cottonpickers – 10

IC – Small arm circles (forward/rear) – 10ish (lots of confusion re: "rear" vs. reverse)

IC – Large arm circles (forward/rear) – 6/7

Tha Thang:

Parking Lot Lap – end at flagpole (THE flagpole – not the shovel flag)

IC Bench Dips – 10

Mosey to bottom of parking lot

Dragonwalk to top of parking lot (almost lost 90% of PAX on this one)

Air squats (Q forgot due to so much complaining about dragonwalk)

High knees to second parking lot entrance

IC Merkins – 10

Karaoke to bottom of parking lot

IC Burpees – 10

Mosey to flag pole (note – this completed loop one)

4.5 Loops completed – each with IC exercise that held IC Merkins and IC Burpees constant.  Flagpole exercise varied as (IC Dips/IC Decline Merkins/IC Dips/IC Incline Merkins/IC Dips).  Trip to top of parking lot varied as (Dragonwalk/lunges/quadraphelia/lunges/bear crawl).  Top Right Corner exercises varied as (air squats/IC air squats/IC mountain climbers/squat jumps/IC mountain climbers).

MARY:

30 IC LBC

30 24 IC Flutterkicks (YHC stopped when half the PAX's feet were on the ground)

Reflection:

Phil 1:27 Only let your conduct be as it becometh the gospel of Christ; that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

Challenge: Is your conduct becoming of the gospel of Christ?  What does that mean to you?  How can you improve?

Moleskine:

Note the consistent use of IC exercises (4 count).  This was intentional as YHC was struck by Mulligan's Saturday Q Fail and wanted to ensure we all stuck together.  It worked.  But goodness the opportunity for complaining and Q harassing seemed to go up exponentially… 

Rumor has it that some SVU owe Mulligan money because we had more than 5 post in the cold…  Sinners.

YHC was surprised to find out that I picked up a new spouse in C#.  This was evidenced by the constant correction at each turn.  I apparently don't start exercises properly, end exercises properly or communicate properly – which C# felt obligated to point out… constantly…  I'm better for it (or at least I feel like i'm supposed to say that)

Apparently the dragonwalk up the parking lot was not a crowd favorite (but swole chest & shoulders and tight core are awesome).  I believe Mulligan and I were the only ones that completed it.  (Shout out to Mullligan for attacking the full workout – he's got Spartan in his sights.)  Halfway up I looked back and saw 7 walking PAX (I think Sonar had a pipe in his hand so I was glad I checked).   Marker continues to be a stud and the improvement in his ability is noticeable.  Happy to see Sonar and C# out consistently (even if C# was more focused on my approach than his own effort).  Sonar pulled a "you do you" on the bearcrawl (almost as popular as the dragonwalk) to which Clark mentioned something about a wrist problem but YHC didn't push further.  I want to thank Diesel and Crawdad for being the only ones that actually counted during the In Cadence (YHC was questioning a full workout with IC as breathing became more challenged).  It seemd Crawdad got bored about halfway thru – YHC will try to challenge him more next time (but he did say he needed more upper body strength – 120 merkins should help).   YHC was pleased to see that Mater was leading the pack on the first lap around the parking lot – he's turned in to quite a runner (even if he does breath like a freight train).

As always, it was a pleasure to lead.
