End of Summer 2.0 Fun Day

We had 29 at the Deep including White Snake, Survey Said, Ice Bear, Wild Thing, Shades, Pitch, Ringo, Peg, Quasimodo, Geppetto, Silent Bob, myself (Captain Jack), and lots of 2.0s. We started out with a modified disclaimer and some discussion of why the Dads come out and do F3.  Silent Bob led a good warmup. Next, we moseyed over to the basketball hoop for Rock, Paper, Scissors, Burpee. It was just like Rock, Paper, Scissors…

Hill Nonsense

I seen this hill by Cannonball that we never use so I figured we would use it well today. I knew we wouldn’t break any Cuda rep count or mileage records but I was hoping we could take the elevation gain record today. The hill is about .72 miles from Cuda – it’s dark, it’s not very wide, the air is thick, and Crabbie said the cucumber smell could be attributed to nearby threatened copperheads.…

C.B. Recipe = Rocky Theme Songs, Burpees, Quarter Pounders and Kettlebells

C.B. Recipe = Rocky Theme Songs, Burpees, Quarter Pounders and Kettlebells I introduced myself, said the disclaimer, then we got started on Warm-O-Rama.  It consisted of overhead claps, then 50 burpees.   I played theme songs from Rocky to override all of the mumble chatter.   The fellas didn’t like my burpee warm up …  c’est la vie! The next thing, guys grabbed their kettlebells and Whitesnake with his cinderblock we headed over to the goal line to…

Cuda Tire day

Today was the first day Pitch was the site Q.  I let everybody know they might need some gloves. I gave a brief disclaimer and we took off towards the church. I had previously set up the big tires at the bottom of the half pipe. We took a quick lap around the dark loop and I pointed out a couple station areas. Then we went back to where the tires were at the bottom…

Split Q at Crow’s Nest

Survey and I got there a few minutes early to talk over some strategy. The runners said they had a route to the bridge and back. There was four of them. Then I saw the guys start showing up. Pitch had an FNG with him as he promised. His name was Jason. Then about four minutes to go like nine more cars pulled in. It was party tome. Had a few visitors from Gastonia which…

Capture the Flag at Cuda

14 PAX participated in a barracuda variation of capture the flag in honor of the barracuda flag handoff from Survey Says to Pitch.  We took a warm-up mosey to the center of The Landing and split up in to three teams.  Each team was provided with a map of flag locations throughout the neighborhood and a bucket to deposit their collected flags.  Squads were instructed to retrieve as many flags as possible and return them…

Cinco de Mayo at Barracuda

It was my first Q at Barracuda. I had some ideas about running and doing a set of exercises every 1/4 mile, but when my Q was pushed back to May 5, 2021, I figured why not celebrate Cinco de Mayo and get a little creative. So after a quick disclaimer, we ran to the intersection of Nautical Drive and Mill Pond Road. Each PAX was given a coloring sheet, a set of rules, crayons…

Perspective

Quick disclaimer was given and we took off.  Nice 5 minute mosey towards the track area and around with some butt kickers, high knees, and toy soldiers. Circle up for WarmORama.  I was the DJ taking requests this morning… I heard things like- Cherry Pickers, Windmills, Moroccan Night Clubs, Imperial Walkers, and Low Slow Squats from the crowd so we did them.  Threw in some Monkey Humpers to finish for fun. We moseyed over towards…
