An Oyster and 10 minutes of Saab

Seven First Watch regulars, One SOJ Stalwart and One Saabski decided to converge at River Road Church this morning at 5am. After cursing the cold breeze and welcoming Oyster, it was time to roll!

Mosey to the smallest Henrico park for COP #1:

DQ’s x 10, Copperhead Squats x 10, Russian Soldiers x 10, Merkins x 10, Crab Cakes x 10, Suzanne Somers(L) x 10, APD’s x 10, Suzanne Somers(R) x 10

Mosey over to Saab’s driveway for COP #2:

Monkey Humpers x 25

Head on downRiver (see what I did there, Splinter?) to the UR practice fields. Complain about how hard the turf is and then complete a round of 4 Corners:

Corner 1 – 10 x Merkins

Corner 2 – 10 x Merkins, 20 x Jump Squats

Corner 3 – 10 x Merkins, 20 x Jump Squats, 30 x SSH’s

Corner 4 – 10 x Merkins, 20 x Jump Squats, 30 x SSH’s, 40 x LBC’s

Plank-a-rama

Line up on the goal line for some Football Field work:

10 yard Bear Crawl, 10 Merkins, Run back

25 yard High Knees, 25 Monkey Humpers, Run back

50 yard Karaoke, 25 Deep Squats, Run Back

75 yard Karaoke(opposite facing), 25 Heels to Heaven, Run back

100 yard Bernie Sanders, 10 Burpees, Run back

Al Gore-a-rama

Mosey over to the steep hill and perform even hour Clock-Work Merkins on the hill

Climb up the hill and partner-up. One partner performs 10 x uphill WW2 sit-ups while other partner planks and holds you ankles firm to the ground (insert sophomoric humor here). 3 rounds each partner.

Slide back down the hill and perform odd hour Clock-Work Merkins on the hill

Partner up and one partner performs Box Cutters at bottom of hill while other partner runs up to the fence and back. 3 rounds each partner.

Mosey back upRiver (ahem!) to COP #3:

In Saab’s driveway, perform American Hammers, APD’s and Reverse Crunches

Homeowner yells at PAX and then joins PAX to head back to VSF for 3 Burpees. Time!

Numbers, Names, Announcements (See Slack) and YHC took us out!

NMS:

It was nice to have Oyster post with us today! He had to get his day started early and First Watch is the perfect option for that! Not much, if any, oversharing today, but there was enough complaining about the cold wind and the hard surface of the practice fields. Someone suggested the wind would not be as bad if we would have headed down to the bottom of S. Ridge Road where the wind never blows, but that PAX member can do that whenever he signs up to Q First Watch 🙂

Saab finally made his grand entrance to First Watch when he caught us abusing his driveway. Thanks for running back with us and joining the COT!

There was a good amount of running (especially for a Kubota Q) and a lot of awkward hill work. Not sure what the partner WW2’s should be called. Comment with your answers!

Good work and well done this morning, Men!

SYITG!
