Rally to the Flag

November 12, 2018

WHEN: 11/12/2018
QIC: Shake It
PAX: Shooter, Night Shift, TO, TB, Au Jus, Champ, Uzi, OPEC, Dogwood

Night Shift got stood up for EC, but still knocked out a solo Murph. It’s not easy plowing through a workout at 0500 by yourself in 30 degree weather.

 

10 PAX in all came out for a Veterans Day edition of Kenan.

 

Warm-Up: in cadence

  • SSH x30
  • Good Mornings x10
  • Forward Lunges x10
  • Merkins x15

 

The Thang:

We left the north gate of Kenan and made our way to the steps outside the SRC.  We used the walls to do some dips and box jumps. 15 cadence count dips, 15 box jumps, 10 cadence count dips, and then 10 box jumps.  Once the last man finished YHC lead the PAX across South Road, through The Pit, and to the American flag in the center of Polk’s Place.  With us observing Veterans Day today, YHC felt using the flag pole for the center of the workout was fitting.

 

To the east of us was a cluster of three lecture halls (Murphy, Manning, and Carolina), and to the west of us was another cluster of three lecture halls (Gardner, Carroll, and Hanes).  The objective was to run to the steps in front of each of the six halls and perform 10 burpees. PAX could only do one building at a time, and had to return to the flag pole to perform 10 jump squats each time.  We had to dodge some shrubs and a few bike racks, but the PAX really got after it.

 

Once the six had finished, YHC lead the PAX across Cameron, through the upper quad, and over to the sundial at the Morehead Planetarium.  There were four sidewalks leading out from the sundial. YHC instructed the PAX to bear crawl to the end of each sidewalk, perform 10 hand release merkins, bear crawl back, and perform 10 jump squats at the sundial.  Time was almost up, so we made our way back to the north gate. YHC planned on running back at a comfortable pace, but Night Shift talked YHC and OPEC into an AYG run through campus and up Stadium Drive. Apparently Night Shift had somewhere to be.  As the rest of the PAX filed in, we started into some Mary.

 

Mary:

  • LBCs x20
  • Flutter Kicks x50
  • Box Cutters x20

 

COT:

  • Congrats to TB for completing his first GoRuck Tough event.
  • YHC gave out some information about the F3 Belts and Backpacks Drive.
