YHC arrived at the Foundry to find other Pax ready to roll. The gloom was especially gloomy this day as the weather wasn’t sure what it wanted to do. The fog and the high humidity were dead giveaways that the weather was a changing. YHC wasn’t really sure what to dress for either, but was surprised by a 57 degrees morning. Shorts and short sleeve F3 shirt weather has arrived again, even if only for a short time. Surely this weather would bring out some Pax ready to take on the world!
YHC planted the shovel flag, and it was on! Who is that fresh face? Look, it’s an FNG……well done Tool! Disclaimer…..and then….Mosey to the track for….
The Thang
Circle up on the artificial surface inside the track
SSH IC x 30
YHC was going to use the 17 to 13 NDSU FCS Championship score over the JMU Dukes as the theme, but opted not to.
Abe Vigodas IC x 10
Imperial Squat Walkers IC x 15
Ring of Fire
Circle up and all assume the plank position. YHC slowly gave instructions, allowing all to embrace the plank. Starting to YHC’s right, and going ccw, each Pax does 5 merkins then says next, then the next Pax does 5 Merkins while first Pax resumes the plank position, and so on. The FNG had some difficulty with this, one would expect a good name…..
Complete 3 rounds. Finish the ring of fire with Mountain Climbers IC x 15.
Bataan Death March
Indian run on the track with the last Pax dropping off to do 5 Burpees, then run to the front, tagging the next Pax for Burpees on the way. Completed one round. Mosey to the Foundry….
Stations at the Foundry
YHC selected the timer to be the run to the jogging path, 10 burpees, return to the Foundry. It was all good until YHC tried to prevent Pull ups from following the Burpees. 7 stations was just too much to handle. YHC was like….
Then after it was time to rotate, YHC was like…..
The good news was that each Pax got to do the run with 10 Burpees….but one evolution was enough
Let’s mosey to the NOMA fountain
While waiting for the 6, the Pax engaged in some Catalina Wine Mixers IC, just because we didn’t do enough shoulder work yet.
Stairway at the Fountain
Incline merkin ladder on NOMA steps. Start at the bottom step with 1 merkin, then 2 merkins on the second step, 3 merkins on the third step, up to 11 merkins on step number 11. Times about up. Mosey back to the flag.
COT
Count off and name-o-rama. The FNG told us about himself, and this guy is incredibly cool and smooth. Smooth it is. Welcome Smooth.
Announcements, which included the Crazy Ivan and Da Parish King status at the Krewe of Lourdes.
Intentions included healing from illness, especially for Shorty and his M, for cancer victims, and any others needing assistance.
Thanks for posting with me today! You guys hold me accountable and keep me coming back for more!
NMM
The NDSU Bison have 6 FCS Championships in the bag from the last 7 years. They have not lost to an FBS team since 2010, including a victory over #13 ranked Iowa in 2016. They did not play an FBS opponent in 2017, and their next FBS opponent is Oregon from the PAC 12 in 2020. Carson Wentz was a Bison. Just thought you should know that……
