We had one more 4:13 Strong man finish under the 30:00 (LifeSaver). All in time of 51:28 so there is a lot of room for improvement.

Before our next Tortoise & Hare, this group will have some opportunity to practice their running. We will run penalty miles Wednesday and Friday morning at 0530. Same distance and same course as today. All are welcome to join.

COT: Closed with a prayer for strength, courage and guidance.

30 count x toe touch
30 count x flamingo, both sides
1/2 mile light mosey around park perimeter

Corner Three: 200 Bonnie Blairs (2 ct)
Corner Four: 400 Side Straddle Hops

Wrapped with some prisoner squats, reverse lunges, star jumps, and sprinters stretch to bring us to time.

MOLESKINE:
PAX were surprisingly good natured about the exercises, but the conditions were just right and the group energy was high so I think we all felt a lift from the good vibes. Stereotypical rock playlist did not distract from the chatter but gave rhythm to the calisthenics.

It was an honor to have men from the Asgard region in town as well as Jockey from across the pond! Also had two FNGs from DintyMoore, great to meet them and welcome them in to this crazy thing we do.

Coffee at Dose was exceptional, took over the whole cafe & got a little rowdy. :coffee:

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– may-you-pull-up continues, never too late to join!
– Fresh cohort for thestronghold starts this Thursday

COT:
YHC had an injured wrist, hence the leg day, so my message was for the PAX to appreciate the health we all had that allowed us to get up and get out to a workout, and to not take what isn’t promised for granted.

Prayers for Siri with summer childcare, Pep with his current project at work, and FNG Hedwig for job prospects.

As always, it was an honor to lead, men!

Take a Load Off Fanny (The Weight)

AO: the-castle
Q: hambone
PAX: Chunks, Sunshine, Crawlspace
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
CONDITIONS: These were “teasing” conditions–thought it was gonna be warm, but it was actually still kinda chilly

WARMUP: 1/2 mile run

Walk the weights over

Go to the middle for some IST, SSH, and merkins.

THE THANG: run back and grab the weights (2x16kg kettlebell, 1x32kg kettlebell, 60lb sandbag, 2x15lb plates, 1 20lb ruck)

Round 1 (x2):
farmers’ carry with 2x16kg kettlebell
squat with sandbag
plate steer with weight plates
deadlift with 32kg bell
jog it out

Round 2(x2):
farmers’ carry with 1x32kg kettlebell
sandbag press
figure eights with 1 16kg kettlebell
swings with ruck
jog it out

Head back to start.

MOLESKINE: I played a little rinky dink and fooled the pax by thinking we were running back to the weights–we ran past them at one point and did some extra running. YOLO.

I always enjoy adding in some weighted work. After running and bootcamping quite often, it’s good to do a metcon that is disguised as strength work.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: May the 4th be with you, and may you be with us on the 4th as we launch Hendersonville F3.

COT: Prayers for surgeries, babies, wives, and another year of life.
