  • Venti Expands – from Sea Man

    The Venti is all things to all people! The Venti succeeds because it’s shorter beatdown that allows us more time to lift each other up with a coffee saunter back to the start!

    The Pre-Order – a 2.5 mile Ruck that launches at 5:15
    The Venti – Traditional 2.5 mile run to Star Bucks
    The Grande – Lengthened 3.5 mile run to Star Bucks (park to stables around Fly and on to Star Bucks)
    The Tall – Straight shot down St Charles to Adams and to Star Bucks
    The Esspresso – speed interval workout along the St Charles Neutral Ground

  • Attendance Award: Uptown Pax – from Bolt

    8 pax assembled for various activity with “down rangers” from Uptown. There was running, S&M, and whatever Chaos Monkey was doing with his sandbag.

  • Resist the PSL – from Sea Man

    PSL’s are coming and only a gun show will stop them!

    Mosey around the lot to pickup late arrivals Tube Steak and Willie (of course) and to the field in front of the zoo for standard warm up and Tantric Arm Circles.

    On to the statue for the Dora
    100 Shoulder Taps 2:1
    200 Dips
    300 Inclined Mercs

    Followed it up with Lunge back pedal around the loop while partner did LBCs, LBT to the Right, LBT to the left.

    Back to the field for Jack Web’s. After much whining about 10 we finished our 10 tantric Arm Circles and on to the flag.

  • Venti 24221 – from Sea Man

    It was hot we ran the levy to Starbucks but they were closed do to boil water advisory. PJs was open and serving with bottled water. Back to the COT

  • 24156 Tsunmai – from Sea Man

    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!

  • Campout Campfire – from Sea Man

    A large grouping of Pax headed out to conquer the uptown rockies! (Yulman, Wolfpack, Little Wolf, TES Stairs, and Loyola Music Stairs) Dodging protesters, and news outlets, Popalock sent the Pax on their quick journey.

  • 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.
