Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Chunks, Papa Bear, Cropduster, Sherlock, GameStop, Pep
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
Conditions: Sweat-soaked and glorious
Warm-O-Rama:
We kicked things off with Side Straddle Hops and a round of dynamic runner’s stretches, which successfully faked out Pep into thinking we were headed for a long run. In reality, I just needed a stretch after too many miles this week. Mission accomplished.
The Thang:
Cinder blocks were retrieved, and we headed to the hill for a devious round of 11s:
– Bottom of the Hill: Blockie Burpees
– Top of the Hill: WWI Sit-Ups
–
But wait—there’s more. Because I’m a glutton for punishment, each trip up or down the hill had its own special challenge:
1. Carry a cinder block
2. Bear crawl up
3. Crawl bear down
4. Crab walk down
5. Lunges uphill
6. Run backward uphill
7. Sprint (plan run)
8. High knees
9. Side shuffle (switch sides halfway)
10. Lieutenant Dan (lunge + squat combo)
We may have gone one minute over time… but the hill demanded it.
Moleskin:
Today marked my 5th year in F3 and the first of three consecutive Qs in the Goblet of Ice Trifecta.
After completeing the the Triforce of Power we have two more lined up:
– Triforce of Wisdom: Thursday at Green Machine
– Triforce of Courage: Friday at Handsomizer
COT:
Prayers lifted for the men of Stronghold walking through the fire tonight.
Announcements:
– 4th of July convergence at Handsomizer – final details TBD
– Upcoming CSAUP involving teams of 5 – details coming soon
SYITG,
Natural Ice
