After the lackluster showing from the PAX on Saturday and more rain coming throughout the day, YHC was a little discouraged heading into my return to The Brig. The PAX who showed up, showed out and I had a blast leading these men. The advantage of only having one other PAX at your previous Q? You get it to run it back without anyone feeling like they’re getting leftovers. Here’s how it went down: Warmup…
0We had 9 at the Black Flag including Tweety, Fudd, Psych, Madoff, Shades, Little Boy Blue, Ringo, Dovetail, and myself, Capt Jack. We started with a short jog and normal warm up activities. Next, we moseyed over to the circle for a Millennium. We started with the following list of 10 exercises and the goal of 1,000 reps. SSH, LBCs, Burpees, Squats, Merkins, Plank Jacks, Flutters, Lunges, Shoulder Taps, and Monkey Humpers We split into…
1YHC is likely the only guy in the region that was raised by the WW II generation (expect a lot of the pax’s grandads were) so this was a very special day. I grew up listening to these guys tell about it (mostly pretty funny stories) and had an uncle that was the REAL DEAL when it came to war heros in my uncle Roy Fortner who led the 15th Air Force Mission over Berlin…
08 PAX came out for a recovery workout at the Black Flag. YHC took the Q months ago, knowing that BRR bodies would be beaten and bruised and if I had to post the flag, I wanted control of the recovery. Peg, a fellow BRR runner, also posted knowing what we endured over the last few days. As more and more showed up that were not BRR runners, my mind quickly turned to how can…
12 runners and 7 bootcampers dodged the rain at The Brig. After completing IronPax Week 0 in the AM, Merkins were off limits. Instead we took a short mosey to my driveway and completed a weighted circuit focused on pumping up our beach body muscles. Our poor biceps are often neglected in bodyweight workouts so I thought we would do something that would appeal to the likes of Captain Jack, Dovetail and Ringo. 1/2 mile…
1Tonight was a good night for YHC to throw down a Q spot at Black Flag. After doing my first triathalon sprint yesterday, it would be a good recovery for the short, but sweet butt kicking I got. So here’s how it all went down. Warm- up Short disclaimer and we started off moseying towards the entrance of the park, and then the glorious mumblechatter began. ” I thought Big Mac didn’t like to…
2I got to Paddlers Cove a few minutes early went to the pool house set up the Lake Wylie flag, left my speaker and some chalk behind for future use in the night. I made my way back to where we stick the flag and a some guys were already huddled up. Then a few FNG’s showed up and we grabbed up who would later become “Scantron” and welcomed him to our group. He had…
2We had 5 men for a Brig workout March 17th. The group included Soft Shell, Madoff, Dovetail, Roll Back, and myself (Captain Jack). We did a quick warm up with SSHs, wind mills, and imperial walkers. Then we moseyed over to the baseball fields for a modified Cooper. First stop we did 10 burpees, 10 squats, and 10 merkins. Then we jogged a little and then did 9 of each. Each stop we dropped 1…
0I got there about 30 minutes early to set up. I was on a phone call from work with an angry coworker. I saw a few guys huddled up with the flag so I planted Nant’an flag. They went off for a run I started setting up. Then they saw me a couple times setting up and they were curious what was gonna happen. I told them we were going to get some miles in.…
4Arrived a few minutes early since Silent Bob and I discussed a Co-Q the night before and I wanted to make sure we had the details down. He pulled in and let me know he saw Chardonnay running up the hill so we went down to run in with him. We let everyone know we would be switching out after 15 minutes. Silent Bob started us off with a mosey and then stopping…
