- ~80F and sunny and heating up during the workout. 0530 start. Q’s: Porcelain, Big Bang, and Funyuns. Pax: Rocket League, 3rd degree, Vegemite, Torch, Offshore, Crab Legs, Hi-viz, Black Lung, Bicentennial man, Right said, Casual Friday, Frugal Mcdougal, Robin Hood, 3rd person, Waterboy, POP-a-lock, Hambone, Harvey Updike, Princess Aurora, Red Skull, Ebola, Hot & Ready, Razor. 27 total.
- Warmarama: circled up behind the statue. No FNGs but read disclaimer verbatim because this was going to be CSAUP (counts for Ironclad?). Q’d up the music for Sally (play Moby “Flower”) to warm up, Q’d by “up”-stand, “down”-thighs parallel, “ground”-deep squat. Great hip opener warmup. 13 reps each (get it?)- SSH, LBCs(fwd-reverse), overhead arm claps, merkins.
The thang-counted off 1s and 2s to form 2 groups. Indian run in these groups about 1/2 mile with shovel flags to the sand volleyball court. YHC had pre-staged necessary equipment to claim around 1776 lbs of sand in two different cubic yard nylon sacks. (100#/ft3 for sand 3ftx3ftx~2ft high). Bottoms of sacks were already secure. Items that could be used to execute this task were 4~10foot steel poles, 2-shovel flags, 2-reusable grocery bags, 2-garbage bags, 1-lap counter, 1-20oz cup, 1-banana, and 2-oranges. Designated the youngest pax (Harvey Updike and Rocket League-great work men!) on each team to lead the group in filling the bags then lifting them to move them around a quarter mile to the Parthenon. Raise over head 13 times for the original 13 colonies. Claiming the ground and raising it for a democratic constitutional republic. Bags were filled quickly even with those not involved in filling doing Lt Dan with the flags. Test lifts were conducted during filling for safety and YHC called the bags full enough at a bit more than half way.
Moleskin break: two sacks were used because the number 2 is very involved with our independence. Only 2 men actually signed the Declaration of Independence on the 4th of July (John Hancock and Charles Thomson). The vote for independence by the Second Continental Congress actually took place on the 2nd of July 1776. Most of the signers of the Declaration did so on August 2nd. Q audibled to only go to the front of the Parthenon where we were met by a loyal Nashville police officer. YHC’s stinky sweat got close but still managed to convince the officer we were not a threat but completely stupid. When we tried to EH the officer before he left he invited us to go to a gym to spar with him. I’m game!
T-claps to Big Bang not only did my co-q have the next activity fully Q’d up great with co-q Funyuns but Big Bang had me having flashbacks to a rather large log from Grow Ruck as he helped to organize and call the lifts for team 2.
Bags returned to volleyball court. Around a half mile total movement with bags. released bags at 0630 to turn Q duties over to Big Bang.
Moseyed back to statue. Big Bang explained the 1776 Devildog shown in the pic. Buddy teamed up and started with 76 burpee but in. Then moving back and forth 50 yards out and back with partner picking one of the 17.
Moleskin freedom was the partial railroad tie drag Big Bang pictured prior to workout. Sandbags here were at least 60 and 80 lbs. Farmers carry 2×30# dumbbells.
Great work staying hydrated and thanks for the bagels Robin Hood.
Big Bang rallied everyone in a circle at 0725 for the 76 burpee buy out. Most were close to complete.
Announcements: warpath and tin can ruck on 21 July. Note cans will not pack as tight and are mostly water (62#/ft3) so cans will be half the weight (scaling as necessary).
COT by Funyuns. Thanks to those that have fought for our freedom in many ways. Prayers for Spicoli. Get out for Team Job bbq tonight if you can!
