A DaVille Labor Day Takeover

43 Redwood including several 2.0’s and one FNG from near and far arrived in the north for a labor day convergence. The shovel flags were planted, YHC asked the PAX to circle up and gave the disclaimer, then we went to work.

This how it went down:

Warm Up (PAX Choice) – Follow Spit for a lap around the large lake for about a 3/4 mile run or stay with Mudface and swing around the kettlebell some.

Circle up and pass the Q to Opus

The Tubthumping – Run in place and do a burpee whenever the words “I get knocked down” are sung in Chumbawamba’s Tubthumping. Plank and do mountain climbers in between the “I get knocked down” moments.

Pass the Q back to Spit

COP (ALL IC) – SSH, DQ, Helicopters, LBC’s, Arm Circles

THANG

(split into two groups: 1st group stay with Spit and 2nd group goes with The Carpenter)

Group 1

Spit’s Q

Grab a cinder block and mosey to the far field

Bears & Blocks – Get on all fours (like you are doing a bear crawl) with your Cinder Block on the grass between your knees or feet. Reach between your legs and pull the Block across the grass passed your head. Now, bear crawl forward until the Block is between your feet again, and keep repeating across the length of the field.

20 Coupon Swings

Lunge & Blocks – With the cinder block overhead lunge back across the field

Mosey back to the SF’s to drop of the blocks

A great turn out for this convergence. With school starting tomorrow and several PAX enjoying the summer one last time, YHC wasn’t sure what the turn out would be. The AO was secured not by Big Blue this morning, Mudface was the first to arrived. YHC and The Carpenter were not far behind. The trio set up the AO and went over the plan of attack. The PAX keep rolling in while YHC asked a few DaVillians before hand to planned to Q at some point. It seemed DaVille had the largest showing with 16 (including 2.0’s) PAX members. Glad we had a great turn out for a workout in our backyard.

Mumble chatter was heavy in the beginning especially during the run. YHC could hear Lab Rat even when he was on the other side of the Lake. As time went it on it did seemed to get quieter.

Most of the PAX were experiencing Opus’ newest exercise The Tubthumping for the first time. Opus told YHC later one it was hard to explain what to do because he was so out of breath from Mudface’s kettlebell exercises. It took a little while but the PAX seemed to catch on.

YHC would like to thank all those that help make this happen including Papa Spit for catering the food.

Please feel free to share you favorite moments in the comments.
