Sprinting with Friends

13 men posted for this weeks edition of the Dreadnougt. No rain today, a rare occurrence! The goal of today was to stay off the pavement and get in a little speed work. YHC was thrilled to see some of our Respect club post with us today, especially my boy Blart! Following a proper intro and disclaimer, we began.

Mosey to the front of the High School for

SSH, Cotton Pickers, Hillbillys, Down Dogs to merkins, ending with Hamstring stretching.

Thing 1

As we moseyed to the football field, a large, angry creature appeared out of the darkness. We all prepared for battle. Alas, we discovered it was Flip!

3 cones were placed on the football field at the 25, 50, and 75 yard lines. Time for some suicides, running back and forth to each cone and then to the opposite goal line and back. This went down as follows-

1. standard suicide
2. 5 merkins at each cone
3. 5 MH at each cone
4. 1 pallet cleanser lap
5. 10 CDD at each cone
6. BONUS- 5 burpees at each cone AND at the base line every time you returned

Thing 2

Mosey to the Pull up bars and partner up. Partner 1 does 5 pull ups and then LBCs until Partner 2 returns from a lap around the building. We did this for 3 total rounds.

1 minute Plank

Thing 3

To the track we go. Instructions were given to sprint the straightaway and jog the corner. Then stop and wait for the 6 man. At this point, an exercise would be called. On my Go, the boys lit the track on fire. Ever tried to sprint alone? Didnt think so. This is where the power of the Pax comes into play. Support and competition forces each one of us to put forth maximum effort. The exercises were

1. LBC x 15 IC
2. Pickle Pounders x 15 IC
3. Reverse Plank
4. Dying Cockroach x 15 IC
5. Pick up my cones

As a Q, it is really fun to see how these sprints are going to work out. You never know just how hard the guys are going to push or how hard you will push yourself. I’d say everyone busted their tail on these sprints. Misty won some, Frosty and Squid some, Gert really tried to win, Deebo never even breathed hard while always at the front, Bayliner was just smiling, Ram sang the NCSU fight song, Blart was complaining, Shroom was on the phone, Flip never said a word, and Ronnie B and Monkey showed us just what the respect brothers can do on the last round.

Back to the Shovel Flag for LSF, Freddy M, and Down/Up dog.

Very impressed at the effort of the Pax today! Thanks to each of you for joining YHC at the Dreadnought. As I’ve said before, join the boys at the Dreadnought. See where your limits are. Its doing the things that may scare us that make us better.

Blart took us out in prayer.

Pleasure to lead today.
