21 PAX post for this morning’s downpainment at the Crater.  It was great to see some faces we haven’t’ seen at the Crater in a while along with the more familiar faces.  T-claps to Beaver, Gunny and Slum Lord for the extra credit run into the AO this morning.

Our time began with proper disclaimers and a welcome to 100% veterans.  No FNG’s today.  We did a set of SSH to allow Polo to join us, then ran to the stop sign to continue the warm-a-rama.

8 cones and 16 exercises

A cone was placed at each street light and had an exercise taped to each side of the cone.  Partner up and run up one side and down the other, stopping at each cone to do the exercise.  At the turn, use Herniated Disks.

Cone 1:  Mtn Climber/Crab cake

Cone 2:  LSF/X-merkin

Cone 3:  Inch worm merkin/Plank jack

Cone 4:  lunges/dips

Cone 5:  Ab chopper/Shoulder taps

Cone 6:  Imperial squatters/ Wojo squat

Cone 7:  WWII Sit-up/Dry Docks

Cone 8:  Burpee/LBC

Each team completed at least one round before OMAHA was called.  Mosey to the shovel-flag for some Mary…

  • Convergence next Monday (Labor Day) at Latham Grinder – do not come to Quaker Crater. I-Beam will be Q.  6:30 start and will go for 90 minutes.

Q took us out.  I appreciate the opportunity to Q this morning.  I challenge those that haven’t been a Q yet to talk to someone you know that has and co-Q to get one on the books.  We may be an obnoxious group at times, but there’s nothing but support for a man that steps out of his comfort zone to get better.

Nomad out.
