Duck Diarrhea aka 6 Month Anniversary – Convergence Part 2

Convergence Part 2.  I made an executive decision to have 2 convergences due to the fact that we have a pretty divided group of weekday guys and Saturday guys.

It has been raining all week.  Everyday – all day!  And so it was no surprise Saturday AM that it rained the entire workout.  In honor of the Convergence/6 Month Anniversary of F3 NOLA we decided to go with a mixed DJ set for the workout.  Roots started us off –  as the honorary Captain of this leaderless/leaderful (is that a word?) band of guys connected by F3.  I missed some great mumble chatter b/c this backblast is a day late.  Sorry.

The Pre-Thang – This first workout at our new time slot of 630AM hit hard.  Why does sleeping that extra 30 min seem like such a big deal.  Had to hustle to the AO because of a slow wake up.  I was still recovering from  crawfish and a few 12 oz curls just a few hours before this workout.    Raining steady — I was pretty sure this would interfere with attendance at our Anniversary bash/Convergence.  Pleasantly surprise to see about 10 guys hanging around where the shovel flag should be – oops I had the flag.    Excellent Kotters — Redfish (kind of – he was around a week or so ago) and Buster.  Welcome back.  Wait a moment and then the I’m not a trainer speech from Roots and we were off!

First COP led by Roots was on the Great Lawn.  The steady rain must have made the GREAT LAWN the perfect outhouse for a thousand ducks because the field was covered with duck diarrhea.  Oh the smell.  And of course my boy Roots chooses not to modify.  Even with our whining…

SSH x 25 IC, Lunge x 10 IC, Imperial Walkers x 15 IC, Merkins ***NOOOO please x 15, Plank Jacks x 25 IC ***Ohh gross,  Squats x 30.  Roots was kind enough to modify and let us skip on the plank walks but he made up for it with two #suddenchange  10 burpees on your own –the PAX was surpressing dry heaves the whole burpee fest.

Roots passes baton to YHC – Reluctant Yankee

We mosey over to a few raised benches by the Sculpture Garden and go for a few rounds of

Step Ups x 30, Inclined Merks x 15, Squats left leg x 20, Sudden Change 10 burpees OYO, Declined Merks x 15, Squats right leg x 20, Sudden Change 10 burpees OYO, Step Ups x 30

Mosey to the Baseball field and Hand off Q to Mr Awesome

First exercise is the SNO-BALL – a team sprint from deep right field to homeplate to get our team Sno _ Ball post game!

Then first base 5 burpees, second base lunge jumps, third base mountain climbers, and plank and wait – rinse and repeat two times – all OYO

Then line up on 3rd base line.  There was a nice sized trench there and MR A calls for 20 Cross fit push ups in your puddle to clean off the duck diarrhea.  Then we added some burpees and mountain climbers to get you a little wetter.

Then Mr A hands off to Reveille for our 4th Q.  We run to the track through some small lakes and ponds.  Too late to worry about wet shoes but I can’t help but wonder why I wore socks.  Reveille takes us to the track for some modified (due to time) DIR-TAY MAC – DEUCE.

Sumo Squat x 12, Mountain Climber x 12 then a lap

Lunge High Kick and wife Pleasers x 20 then a lap – no eye contact please

Side Lunge and Low Squat x 20 then a lap

After the last lap – Rev handed off to Hawg.

Finally Hawgcycle runs us a good mile back to our shovel flag.  Still sitting there – thankfully present.  Hawgcycle sits us down in some thorns and fire ants for 6MOM and decides to modify us with a move to the Peristyle.  Thanks for not pushing us out to the Duck Diarrhea.
