D Day Remembrance

D Day Remembrance

QIC: Drama Queen

Date: 06/06/2019

PAX: Gucci, Schneider, 60 Minutes, Sour Mash, Drama Queen (QIC)

When Schneider asked for Qs several weeks ago and YHC chose 6/6 there was no doubt a theme was in order.  75th Anniversary of D Day is all over the news today and YHC recommends you stop and take a moment to realize the enormity of this day in history. Read an article, watch a documentary, or a least watch first part of Saving Private Ryan and think about this achievement.

No better place to start the day than with an F3 beatdown with an attempt at honoring those who bravely ran straight into enemy fire.

WARMORAMA

Not in theme mode yet – we went thru some of The Standards – 60 Minutes joined us in the midst of SSHs which Q blamed on messing up the cadence.  Most likely it was the after effects of a week long cold.

Mosey to football field at elementary school

CROSSING THE ENGLISH CHANNEL – line up on sideline
• 10 Squat Jumps – honoring paratroopers
• 10 Toy soldier paces
• Hold boat for 10 count
• 10 low army crawls
• 10 WWII sit ups
• REPEATO until cross the field

LAND ON THE BEACHES (5 corners)
• Utah – US
6 Merkins
6 American Hammers

Run to center of field for Omaha Beach – 11 Burpees

• Gold – British
6 Mountain Climbers
6 Freddie Mercs

Center/ 11 burpees

• Sword – British
6 diamond merkins
6 low dollies

Center/11 burpees

• Juno – Canadian
6 Ice Skaters
6 Heels to Heaven

So it was 6/6 at every corner and we completed 44 burpees

Schneider added an extra element – he wanted some bricks carried back to his truck so each pax carried 4 bricks back to BC parking lot.  At this point we lost Sour Mash – is this the last week of school and last time he gets this excuse?

BACK TO SHELTER
BLOCK WORK
• Curls
• OH Press
• Skull crushers
• Bent over rows

SPRINTS in parking lot

MARY

Low flutter, Mutton Crunch, maybe something else and to close us out about 30 seconds of body destroyers concentrating on good stretch

NMM

Strong group of loyal WeFoCo pax this AM but not a lot of MC – maybe respect for elder and sickly Q

YHC threw out some D Day facts but noted that I had gotten a little engrossed in last night’s research and almost forgot I was planning a workout – #historybuff

Even breaking them up, 44 burpees is a lot

We encountered a teacher setting up for Clemmons Elementary Field Day – hope she doesn’t tell Carla on us and hope the kiddies don’t have to do 44 burpees today

Schneider’s extra mission of brickcarrying added more than expected to workout

Finish with the sprint down and back was a good finish – might need to do that more #remindsmeofmyyouth #60minuteswoneasily

ANNOUNCEMENTS

BBBC launches from same spot tomorrow – some discussion on routes and modifications.  60 Minutes and Schneider plan to launch at 5:15

Wort (Schneider’s son) graduates this weekend.  Congrats to all grads and may they make good choices in celebrations.

Seems like there was something else – or perhaps prayer concern – add if you remember

Gucci’s great uncle was one of casualties of D Day and from Bedford, VA – per capita highest loss of life and home to D Day Memorial

Final thought – Eisenhower told men of D Day to keeping moving forward (sounds a little like F3)

COT

YHC took us out thanking for freedom men of D Day gave us and hope for peace in today’s world. Hard to imagine what those men faced and the price that was paid.
