The Abyss – October 5, 2022

We had seven men this morning at The Abyss. Seeing no FNG’s, I gave a quick disclaimer and we took a brief mosey around the elementary parking lot and did some toy soldiers and karaoke.  Noticing ACP was injured, I called an audible and changed my weinke to accommodate his injury. We circled up behind the elementary school for a the warm up. WARM UP Goofball x 20 IC 1 burpee Windmill x 10 IC…

Walls and Bricks

We had 7 this cool evening at the Black Flag including Shades, Red October, Tweety, ACP, Dovetail, an FNG (Poutine), and myself (Captain Jack).

Next, we moseyed over to the circle by the baseball fields for a Walls…

Waving the Black Flag at BRR Recovery

8 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…

Scuttle the ship at Black Flag!

I had the honor to Q the final workout at the original Black Flag AO at Good Samaritan Church.

At the Deep for EMOM Pull-ups and Bricks

We had eight out for a workout at the Deep including Ice Bear, Suds, Seger, Olaf, Vanilla Ice, Kick Flip, ACP, and myself, Captain Jack.  We had some late arrivals, so we circled up at the flag and did typical warm-ups. Since I was expecting a small crowd, I brought the paver bricks.  Each guy grabbed two bricks and we moseyed over to the track. At the track we did a quarter pounder with cheese. …

He had…
