    A mass gathering pushed from RP on the levy route with 2FNGs…and a slew of 2.0s! Welcome new PAX Lois Lane, and Rocket

  • 24142 Venti – from Sea Man

    A gentle breeze tampered the humidity. The Pax sojurned up through Tulane and the Cemetery Route! Despite the coolish wx Bad Moon still managed to sweat so much Star Bucks mop team wanted to block his entry. Also had Fredo, Kotter his way back to the Pax! For those interested we are 1 month away from Venti’ 1yr Birthday, and the Venti has been enjoying the inclusion of 2.0s!

  • March of the Penguins – from Willie

    As the month of March approaches its end, so does the March of the Penguins CASUP (1000 Penguins per day in the month of March). Special shout out to @Sandbar, and @Sogo for accompanying me on this journey. Also, a big thank you to the Qs this month who added extra penguins to their workout. That does not included @Douille who did 3 total penguins at Misty Mountain last Saturday.

    Yours truly rolled into the workout right at 5:30AM, dressed in a Penguin onesie, with Welcome to the Jungle blaring on the bluetooth speaker. My standard music rules applied. The PAX can skip a song with a 10 burpee penalty for the entire group. After the standard disclaimer, we moseyed to the field for a warm up, all in cadence.

    SSH x 20
    Imperial Walkers x 20
    Mountain Climbers, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters x 15 each
    Self Love OYO for 1 minute
    Arm Circles Reverse/Forward x 10
    Hillbillies x 20

    The PAX then made it’s way to the statue in front of the zoo, and partnered up for a not so traditional DORA. The only exercise was 600 Penguins 2/1. Partner 1 ran the small loop while Partner 2 banged out penguins. We had 2 skips during the DORA, resulting in 20 burpees. The skipped songs were “Living on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi and “Spoon Full of Sugar” from the Mary Poppins sound track.

    The next transition was a run to the bandstand where the PAX circled up on stage for the Name That Tune challenge. The songs on this playlist are all songs that we know and love, but they are sung in a Lounge Singer style by the one and only Richard Cheese. The PAX did 30 Penguins 2-1 while the song played, then the PAX to the left had to guess either the song title OR the original artist. Get it right and we continue with penguins, a wrong answer gets the PAX 20 merkins. Some of the songs played were hits like, “Baby Got Back”, “Gin and Juice,” “Brass Monkey,” and “Been Caught Stealing” just to name a few. The PAX did pretty well as we only had 2 wrong answers resulting in 40 merkins. With 6:15AM approaching we made our way back to the flag for the standard COT.

    It is a pleasure to lead these men in a workout, and I appreciate the PAX indulging me in my crazy ideas.

  • 23053 Venti – from Sea Man

    RCR Venti – Couch and Brown Bag headed at a quick clip to bank miles. Rest of Pax followed at Venti Pace. 2 Trains and a light headwind on the levy didn’t delay pax, who arrived at SB to greet Willy who rucked starting at 0515. At SB PAX celebrated Huck’s 7th Birthday.

  • 24032 Venti -RCR – from Sea Man

    In celebration of RCR, a massive wave of PAX sojourned into the gloom towards the river! Even Whoppers Delicate Machine was eager for a Double Esspresso! The Venti now consists of 3 Routes:

    Route 1 – The Esspresso – AKA IR Layup a walk down St Charles to Adams and to Starbucks
    Route 2 – Venti – down uptown side of the park, across Magazine, first right to the levy, sprint up the levy post Army Corps, to Carrolton to Starbucks.
    Route 3 – Grande Venti – down the uptown side of the park and continue round past the Golf Course. Cross Magazin towards the Grotto and Avenger Field then follow the levy to the standard Venti.

    We all rallied at Starbucks, for Dong Phong where exceeded the dBs of Baristas ears. We filed down Magazine like a bunch of middle aged Frat Dudes + O’Dulles + Tree Frong + Bubbles. TUPD was very confused as they past us.

    A lot of guys have been bringing their 2.0s on these runs and it has been fun. Routes 2 & 1 are done a clydesdales talking pace.

    Talking is the mission of the venti! Back in March a guy Justin Erenworth took his life and left a wife and 2 young kids with a lot of questions. Recentlly Peppa has had 2 HIMs from his Navy days take their life, and just last week Wilson & I, our friend lost their 16 yr old to suicide. So this give us a time to talk and be there for one another. Not everyone can stick around for coffee or “COFFEE” w/ Almonaster!
