Downtown Rodeo 🤠 🐎

Date: 2026-06-03 AO: Titan Q: Toothless , PAX: Papa Bear, Pole Dancer, Makita (Anderson Fader), Tim the Toolman, Spinal Tap, Vector, Pep, Hipster, Toothless, CubCadet, Shelby, Steampunk, FNGs: None COUNT: 13 CONDITIONS: Pleasantly cool, a welcome break from the oncoming onslaught of humidity and heat
WARMUP: Active warmups e.g. skips, shuffles, karaoke, etc.
THE THANG: Downtown Rodeo :face_with_cowboy_hat: :racehorse: Head to the field where the first event is set up
Event 1: Barrel Race Relay PAX split into two groups. Groups perform exercises AMRAP until all PAX have completed the barrel pattern. Incorrect pattern results in a restart for that runner. First group to finish wins, winners do 5 burpees and losers do 15.
Round 1 – Prisoner Squats Round 2 – Merkins Round 3 – WWI’s
Event 2: Stampede Bear crawl sharks and minnows, as in bear crawl across the field and try not to get tagged by the bear crawlers who are it. Number of taggers (ideally) increases each round along with the difficulty. Last man to be tagged wins. 2 rounds.
Event 3: Climbing Pikes Peak The Manitou Incline is a set of 2768 railroad tie steps gaining 2000ft of elevation in a mile. Let’s climb it. 2768 divided by the number of PAX. Roughly 200 double count mountain climbers each.
Event 4: Quarter Horse Dash The namesake of the Quarter Horse comes from it being the fastest breed at or below that distance. Conveniently, a lap around the Parthenon is exactly 1/4 of a mile. So, PAX run a lap with someone calling finish times. Continue to run laps and beat your times else be faced with AMRAP exercises. Some PAX made it 3 laps before heading back for time.
MARY: Dealers choice til time, starting with 10 bucking broncos aka donkey kicks
MOLESKINE: Barrels relay was mostly successful, but at least one of the PAX messed up the pattern on each of the rounds which ended up being the deciding factor in the race. Bear crawling sharks and minnows from the Stampede event was a hit with everyone, especially CubCadet and Vector. The 200 mountain climbers were surprisingly difficult once getting to the higher counts. YHC was toast for the Quarter Horse Dash, but Spinal Tap must have sandbagged because he was almost 10 seconds faster on the 2nd and 3rd laps!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: – 7/11 convergence! – Come to bomber for Strutter’s birthday kickoff – Keep checking Slack for more fun announcements!
COT: YHC encouraged the PAX to be grateful for their health & the ability to workout, as health is easy to take for granted until you don’t have it. Prayer requests were shared, ball of man was convened.

May the Westeros Be With You

Date: 2026-05-04 AO: Westeros Q: Vector , PAX: Papa Bear, Shy Guy, Pep, Spinal Tap, Vector, bluemule, CubCadet, Tim the Toolman, Natural Ice, Squatter, Topps FNGs: None COUNT: 11 A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (well, in Missouri in 1977), YHC was 7 and his parents took him to see Star Wars (not “Episode 4” or “A New Hope” – in my day we just had one trilogy and we liked it). Needless to say, it was incredible and unlike anything young soon-to-be-named-Vector had experience. After many sequels and countless $$$ spent on action figures (which I still have in my collectable Darth Vader head container), it remains a strong childhood memory (despite later diversions into midachloridians and Jar Jar). So to celebrate May the 4th/Star Wars Day, the PAX re-enacted that first SW movie. So let’s go shoot at whomp rats and get going . . .
CONDITIONS: Crisp and bright, like a two sun sunrise on Tattooine.
WARMUP: Stormtrooper Hops, Imperial Walkers, Little Yoda Arm Circles, Tauntaun claps, Overhead force presses, Reverse Little Yoda Arm Circles, Jar Jars (Michael Phelps)
THE THANG: #1 Take the Droids to the Old Man: Coupon Rows and Burpees (for R2 and Ben) for 22s (double because Artoo . . . )
Break to do the Kessel Run — not sure anyone made it under 12 parsecs
#2 Find a Pilot: Ring of Fire with coupon presses — all made it and were deemed worthy pilots
#3 Rescue the Princess: Lunges (for Leia) and Star Jumps in a round of 11s (representing the 11 live action released SW films — sorry, Mando – your film ain’t out yet so doesn’t count)
#4 Attack the Death Star Ring of Fire with merkins and advance into circle with each rep.
Mary: Force flutter kicks, Bounty Hunter Boxcutters, Death Star Dollys
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack – Holy Smokers, Juicy J marathon
COT: – Prayers for Squatter and his M and 2.0. While the workout and theme was done in fun, life can be serious. We lift up Squatter and his family — know that you have many brothers here to offer payers, support, love, anything you need.
RANDOM NOTES: – Appreciate the level of SalPal’s SW nerdom – Appreciate bluemule noting halfway through the work out that there was no way we’d get through all of the movie plots in time (Hmm, Empire next week?) – Glad I could feed Natural Ice’s Weird Al fandom once again with 2 deep cuts – It ain’t easy to plan a full playlist with SW themed songs, but I did have the disco version of SW theme that went to number one on the charts (it was 1977: all we had was disco, Star Wars and cocaine . . . )
PLAYLIST: Star Wars Main Title – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra Cantina Band – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra The Saga Begins – Weird Al I’m the Droid (You’re Looking For – Nerf Herder The Imperial March – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra Star Wars Theme – Meco Yoda – Weird Al Chewbacca – Supernova Return of the Jedi – Alex Jean The Empire Strikes Back – Meco Dual of the Fates – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra The Throne Room/End Titles – John Williams/London Symph Orchestra
