Back Blast – BlackOps – English Manor – 09/05/2019

Loving the starfish efforts. Hopefully it sticks. Got there around 5:15am to finish scouting the location for the ensuing beat down and plant the flag so the PAX could find me.

Rusty, who posted with us down range from Chicago, asked for a picture. A great way to remember his visit to Louisville, which seems to be an annual trip as I remember him joining sometime last year. Always great to know this group is welcoming of DR PAX and it is really cool to think that each of us can do the same in another city – and it will yield the same results of a welcoming group, a beat down that makes you hurt, and fellowship. Not pictured is Fungi who served as photographer.

Weather

Another fantastic morning. Love this time of the year as it is crisp and cool to knock the edge off.

PAX

  • Captain Crunchberry
  • Rusty (R) (DR from Chicago)
  • Fungi
  • Cratchitt
  • Gilligan
  • Meter Maid
  • Dauber
  • Jolly Rancher (Q)

Time was called and we set off for a quick short mosey to the legal office parking lot for some COP. This also served as a quick way to get the “coming in hot” Gilligan time to hop out of his car and join the mosey.

COP

  • SSH
  • Bat Wings
  • Downward Dog and Runners Stretches

Thang 1

I hate running because I’m not good at it. So, YHC decided we’d run a mile just for fun – and just to see how good (or bad) we (or perhaps just me?) are. From Old LaGrange Road down Friendship Drive to the stop sign and back is 0.5 miles per Google Pedometer. So, we went down and rinsed and repeated to get to 1.0 mile.

Everyone completed in and around 9 to 10 minutes. Well done!

Thang 2

Mosey to the fire department pad in front of the trucks for a Mama’s Boy staple – Triple Nickle.

Start at the bottom of the pad with 5x groiners and mosey to the garage doors for 5x jump squats. Rinse and repeat 5x.

Thang 3

Mosey to the parking lot of the firehouse. Find a parking spot and position yourself directly across another PAX.

Goal here was 10x decline merkins on the parking curb, bear crawl to the middle for 10x partner merkin claps, and then bear crawl to the opposite side you started for 10x incline merkins.

We then had a few minutes left for some Mary which included:

  • Flutter Kicks
  • Weezy Jefferson’s
  • V-Ups
  • Box Cutters
  • LBCs
  • Big Boy Sit-Ups
  • Another couple that I can’t remember!

Mosey back to the flag where time was called.

COT

  • Countarama
  • Namearama
  • Announcements
  • Intentions

Love this group and the way each of you hold me accountable.

Jolly Rancher out!
