  • Guest Q Krank – from Fracsac

    Rudy and FracSac planned on an hour long run to train for the upcoming Double Nickel, then two DR pax showed up from the Houston area, Fort Bend to be exact. It was Krank with an FNG in tow, in town for the Final Four. We couldn’t abandon these HIMs and with that we had a sudden change.
    Krank asked to take the Q, and we obliged. He then pulled several rucking toys from the bed of his truck, as if he was prepared! Impressive! Here’s what we did.

  • Are you ready for some football? – from Jose10k

    Warm-ups: ssh, grass grabbers, self love, torso twists, windmills, arm circles.
    The thang: The pax moseyed to the wall ( east or west, I’m directionally challenged) stopping at every fire hydrant to do 5 burpees. Over the bridge to a nice wide open space for a little 7v7 football. Each team must complete 5 conductive passes to score a point. First team to 5 wins, the penalty for the team not scoring the point was 5 burpees for the first game, 10 jump squats for the second game. Zoolander came prepared wearing cleats, we had a drive by from Bushwacker, blood was shed from Bird and Fracsac, and Shooter laid YHC out. But it was a fun and much needed game day. Moseyed back for leg lifts to end it out when we discovered that the church bell chimes at 7:30, who knew. COT, Shooter prayed us out, welcome FNG Mayor Booty. Thanks for letting me lead, SYITG brothers!

  • Cool Cardio at the Mothership – from Fracsac

    YHC took the Q at the Mothership knowing it was going to be a cold and miserable morning.
    With a brief disclaimer given, 6 pax headed to the peristyle. Bogey, Catfish, Triple Shift, PVC and YHC circled up for the Warmup.

    SSH, GG, and Hillbilly’s followed by a mosey to the Storyland entrance. Finished with some arm circles with Moroccan Night Club where dancing was enjoyed by all!

    EMOM x 5 With 10 burpees (50)

    The Motivator!

    Stations:
    10 cleans with Sweetness aka 60 lb sandbag(timer)

    SSH – AMRAP
    Step ups – AMRAP

    EMOM x 5 With 10 burpees (50 more)

    Mosey to the big lawn for some more fun with sweetness. Pax helped to make this really suck:
    Plank up and pull sandbag thru all pax and back, last pax bear crawls to the end. Rinse and Repeat.

    Embrace the suck: 7 SSH, 7 Merkins, 7 Bobby Hurleys over and over for 3 minutes.

    Finish off with some Mary with a couple rounds of Burpees sprinkled in to hit 120 total.

    Back to flags for COT

    We were warm and far from miserable at the end. Thanks for posting with me.

    There was supposed to be a down range Pax, but not this day.

  • It Was A Painful Morning – from Fast Tax

    Saturday, March 5, 2022
    It had been almost a year since YHC Q’d Mothership so I was rather looking forward to it…at least Friday evening. After a long night entertaining the relatives and drinking waaayyyy too much wine, I finally hit the bed sometime around 1 or 2am. Needless to say, when the alarm went off at 6:00, I knew it was going to be a very painful morning. Nevertheless, Tax Credit and I managed to get there just in time.

    After disclaimer was given, 8 Pax moseyed to the parking lot for some warmups consisting of SSH, Abe Vigodas, Nancy Kerrigans, and Hairy Rockettes. YHC’s inability to do the left side of the Nancy Kerrigans did not escape the attention/commentary of those in attendance…

    Unwilling to jump right into the highly anticipated main event, YHC kicked things off with 50 ish yards of Welsh Dragons.
    Welsh Dragons: While remaining in plank position, PAX bear crawls forward 5 yds, does 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and tap the BACK of each shoulder 1 time. Repeat adding 1 rep to each exercise each 5 yds – bear crawl forward 5 yds, do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, 2 sets of back of shoulder taps… etc. We continued until we got to 10 reps each (I think), holding plank for rest of PAX to finish.

    Next bit of fun was the Indian Crab Walk Snake with a crabby wife pleaser twist at the end.
    Indian Crab Walk Snake: While lined up on your six doing LBCs, the guy in the back crabwalks to the front, weaving in and out of the PAX as he makes his way to the front where he performs two crabby wife pleaser merkins. As each PAX makes it to the front, the guy in back starts, at least in theory…It seems this proved too difficult b/c when YHC got to the front and looked back, there were at least three crabs heading his way.

    With time to spare, YHC thought Indian Rabbit Hop , sure, why not…
    Indian Rabbit Hop: PAX lines up, face down in plank position, all facing left with 2-3 feet between PAX. Last man broad-jumps over the planking PAX to the head of the line, Indian Run style. We continued cycling through until Q said stop.
    After retrieving his balls and cones, and dishing out a few penalty burpees, we headed to the Great Lawn for BATTLE FRISBURPEE.
    After a quick recap of the rules for PAX in attendance, we divvied up into teams and began to battle.

    Team 1 (black shirts): Almonaster, Tax Credit, Willie, War Eagle
    Team 2 (non-black shirts): Boo-Boo, Fast Tax, King-Kong, Mahatma

    The battle was hard fought and close…ish. Several PAX took advantage of the “last one touched” rule to strategically hit members of the opposing team that guarded too closely (mostly YHC), forcing them to stop and do 3 burpees. Almonaster learned (repeatedly) that you can be hit by the Baller even if you aren’t holding the Frisbee. Meanwhile, more than once, War Eagle’s demonstration of full-contact Frisburpee in a prior game was revisited on him and his teammates.

    Even though YHC’s referee skills maintained a fair and level playing field, Team 2’s victory was decisive with a final score of 6 to 2.

    With game over we headed to COT for name-o-rama, announcements, intentions, and prayer.
    Breakfast at Café Navarre followed for most.

    Thanks for the fellowship!

  • 25 was the number of the day! – from Boo-Boo

    Mothership

    It’s no secret, YHC does not like cold weather. Upon arrival, the air temp was 34ish with a stiff north wind bringing windchills to 25 degrees. Days of rain preceding created damp and cold! Catfish shows up in a t-shirt and shorts, but at least he had shoes and socks.

    A short mosey to the parking lot across from the flag for what one would think are normal warmup activities; HOWEVER, choosing to forego Moroccan Nightclubs during arm warmups brought us to what only YHC can describe as near mutiny. Therefore, Moroccan Nightclubs were completed out of order, which barely fixed the problem.

    After the warmup debacle, PAX moseyed to NOMA for the following:

    25 merkins, mosey around NOMA x4

    Plank Jack waiting for 6

    25 X-factors (2 is 1) mosey halfway around NOMA x4

    Plank Jack waiting for 6

    Next a mosey to the Children’s Museum to take advantage of the coupons. Three rounds of the following were completed:

    25 triceps extension/chest press
    50 yards, 10 mountain climbers (2 is 1), and back

    25 squat, curl
    50 yards, 10 mountain climbers (2 is 1), and back

    25 rows
    50 yards, 10 mountain climbers (2 is 1), and back

    Coupons returned and mosey back to the flag for some Mary and a mosey around the parking lot to give us 3 miles towards RCR.

    COT and coffeteria followed.

    It is always a privilege to lead a group of leaders. And a special thanks to Catfish for pushing me to commit to a Mothership Q. It was good to be back!
