  • Super Pain

    Watching the NFL Post season has been painful for us here in New Orleans.  YHC hoped to use the big game to create some useful pain.  The #downpainment was going to be inspired by the winner of the Super Bowl and YHC was planning a 12th man inspired Dirty McDeuce when an inexplicable play call created a sudden change.  The newly installed Patriot theme called for lots of Merkins and a Hero WOD stolen from Cross-fit.

    It was good to see 5 strong on a blustery Metairie morning.  It was also fitting to have our resident Patriot fan in attendance.  It was time for another Patriot #beatdown.  To honor the winning score the Pax had to do 28 Merkins every time YHC called Super Bowl.

    The Thang

    • Mosey to the Rock Pile for Warm-up
    • Warm-up COP: SSH x 30; Good Mornings x 16; Imperial Walkers x 30;
    • Select your rock
    • Mosey with your rock back toward the flag – along the way called Superbowl – 28 Merkins
    • Fence Chunkers – 20 reps = Patriots completions in first half
    • Mosey to the Soccer Field sideline – a little lagniappe for YHC and Chaka as we grabbed an extra bench and carried it roughly 20 yards #EveryYardCounts #JustAskPeteCarrol
    • Modified Carse (X-Fit Hero WOD) – going with the Patriot theme here: Start each round with a 50 yard Bear Crawl.
      • Super Bowl Called before the first Bear Crawl – 28 Merkins. #MumbleChatter:  I thought Seattle had a better defense, why did they allow 28 points?
      • Round 1: Squat Press Rock x 28; Bunny Hops IC x 28; Dead Lift Rock x 28; Box (Litrally a Bench) Jumps x 28
      • Round 2: Same thing, but 24 reps
      • Super Bowl Called – 28 Merkins
      • Round 3: Same thing, but 20 reps
      • One final bear crawl for good measure
    • Back to the flag with rock in tow.
    • More Fence Chunkers. Time only allowed for 8 reps.  Not sure what that represents….possibly the number of Seahawks that punched Gronkowski at the end of the game.
    • Return Rocks
    • Horse to stable back to the flag.

    Great workout today.  I thought Rev was crazy for going with the short sleeves until 15 minutes in when I had to shed my overshirt.  There were definitely some good size rocks out there today (no matter how I try to word that, it just doesn’t sound right).  The Bunny Hops were much harder than YHC thought they would be.  Probably could have gone without trying to do them in cadence.  The intention was to do them over the rock, but that needed some modification by most.

    Shout-Out

    YHC led the shout out – Prayed for a specific request and gave praise for Root’s new job, even though it meant he couldn’t be with us.

  • Tito Landrum Rocks

    YHC is a St. Louis Cardinals baseball fan, so I was very excited when we named an FNG after Tito Landrum.  I was even more excited to see Tito when I pulled up at Rock City today.  For those of you not as passionate about Cardinal baseball, Tito Landrum is the man that filled in for Cardinal lead-off hitter and base stealing champ Vince Coleman in the 85 NLCS and World Series.  Coleman was hurt in the NLCS when he got ran over by the automatic rain tarp (no joke – check it out here http://www.captainsblog.info/2010/10/13/this-date-in-history-the-killer-tarp-and-the-cardinals-strange-1985-post-season/3161/. )  Anyway Tito Landrum filled in and was the best player on the team for the rest of the NLCS and the World Series.  So when YHC saw our Tito there today, I was certain that he could step in if I happened to suffer an unfortunate rock related injury.

    The weather was perfect this morning: 50 and dry.  YHC barely arrived on time, causing Yankee to start creating a back-up plan.  Cobains, I’ll try to be earlier next time.

    YHC felt like we had a pretty good pace going today.  RY confirmed that we ran 2.1 miles total with the rocks, which is an unofficial Rock City record.  I am glad we got in some Mary, as I feel like I have been neglecting her.  She served the purpose as I heard RY say she made him forget about Lt. Dan.

    • T-claps to Tundra for Larry Birding it all morning even though he had the biggest rock.
    • I would give T-claps to Yankee for manning up and carrying YHC’s rock back to the pile, but then I would need to call him out for picking such a little rock in the first place. So I just won’t say anything.
    • Great to have another Uptowner out to the burbs, now we just need Metairie to represent.

  • Going For Distance

    It was colder than most of us were expecting this morning.  Tough morning to get out into the gloom.  It was one of those morning’s that you know you wouldn’t be getting up if it was just you working out by yourself.  YHC arrived to see Amnesty’s Jeep in the parking lot.  As Amnesty got out and did some track work to warm-up the hammie, it looked like it was going to be a 2 man gig.  Then we saw Yankee’s Jeep pull up with Tundra to double the count.  Off into the gloom four strong.

    The Thang

    • Mosey to the Rock Pile for Warm-up

    COT

    Amnesty directed our thoughts toward Dr. King and all that he worked to accomplish.  Hard to believe how far we are removed from that time period, but also hard to believe how far we have to go.  Thanks for the reflection Amnesty

    Moleskin

    • YHC’s goal today was to cover some distance with our rock.  I feel good about what we accomplished.  Yankee’s uncalibrated Fitbit told us we covered 1.9 miles.  I think that is a stretch, but we did go farther than any Rock City work out before us.  Someday I hope to make the entire loop.
    • The gloveless PAX were unprepared for the cold Pontiff ground, especially during Mt. Ararat –
    • Good to see Amnesty back after he went AWOL on Wolfpack Mountain.  Take it easy on that hammie brother.
    • Always good to have Tundra pirogue in from the Bayou to join us.  He’s made more Pontiff workouts than all of the Metairie guys combined – a lot more.
    • T-claps to the IT guys for hooking us up with a Rock City Tag and fixing our schedule.

  • He’s Every Man

    We returned to the scene of the crime.  Yankee and Roots looked through the bushes to see if our shovel flag had been carelessly discarded.  No luck.  Just as Chaka Khan was getting ready to lead us into the gloom for his VQ we see Chewy making a Kotter with an FNG.

     The Thang

    Chaka Khan at the Q

    • Mosey to a mud pit across the fence from the new Lady Bug
    • Warm-up COP: SSH x 19 (yes Chaka went with a 19 count on his first exercise); Plank Jacks x 18 (this made a nice hole in the mud); low slow squats x 11; LBC x 15 (at this point Yankee tried to complain about doing LBCs in the mud by saying he wasn’t complaining.)
    • Mosey to the unkempt Softball field for 4 corner 11s
    • 4 corner 11s (10 burpees and 1 squat then run to the next base where you do 9 burpees and 2 squats….1 burpee and 10 squats)
    • Mosey to the Olympic Trials track
    • Double Applesauce (two column indian run) for 1 lap (Victors were on the inside lap – just sayin’)

    Hawgcycle takes the Q

    • Mosey to Tad Gormley….argh locked again. We haven’t gotten in since we were kicked out last month.  Don’t worry Tad, we will be back.
    • Mosey to the nearest grassy area for Ciabatta
    • Ciabatta – 2 sets of 4 different exercises. Each set is 20 seconds all out oyo followed by 10 seconds of rest.  Burpees, Merkins, WWIII Sit-ups, Squats repeato
    • Mosey back to the Great Lawn for a flag check – step ups on a passing picnic bench while we wait for the six.
    • Flag is still there – we do a plankorama waiting for the six: Regular, Left hand high, Left leg high, Regular, Right hand high, Right leg high, Southern Gentleman, Yankee Agressor, Regular (about 15-20 seconds each)
    • Easy as 1-2-3 on the Great Lawn. Pax pairs up.  One man runs across the Great Lawn and back (150 yards?) While other starts doing Merkins.  Runner picks up the count on the merkins where the first man left off when he gets back. Partner sprints across Great Lawn.  Finished when each pair completes 100 merkins, 200 WWIII sit-ups, and 300 squats.  All the pax finished except YHC’s pair; however, are form was good – not saying other’s weren’t, just saying ours was.

    • Mosey back to the virtual flag. We arrived in time to finish with 45 seconds of elbow plankin’

    Today’s workout was inspired by the Cross Fit workout known as the Murph.  It was inverted and extremely modified.  YHC has a long way to go, but maybe one day we will do an actual or at least a slick Murph at one of the NOLA AOs.  If you have time, you may want to check out the Wikipedia page of Lt. Michael Murphy.  It is a humbling read.  There is also a book and a movie about the Operation where he lost his life.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_P._Murphy

    • Prayers go out for speedy recoveries for Yankee (flu) and Amnesty (hamstring). Maybe we should change the name of the Windmill exercise to “Republicans,” since they apparently hate Amnesty.

    • YHC ended the COT with some thoughts about the 3rd F and how it is symbolized by the Rock City Workout.  At Rock City, it’s the rock that makes you stronger.  I can pick a small rock, one that I know I can handle, one that won’t make me too uncomfortable, and I will get a little stronger.  It is the same way with my relationship with Christ.  I can have a little bit of faith, I can bring Jesus into my life in ways that I know I can handle, ways that won’t make me too uncomfortable.  Or, I can “Go Big;” take a leap of faith the size of the rock Amnesty picked at his first Rock City post; an amount of faith that I can’t handle; an amount of faith that makes me uncomfortable.   It is when I “Go Big” that I find out how awesome my God really is.
