52

It's become a tradition for many to pickup the Q on (or near) their birthday. I celebrated my 52nd birthday on Sunday, Nov 6 so jumped in for the Q this morning. We had the privilege of working out under the blood full moon which was a cool thing to see. A solid dozen pax [...]

Tabata Tuesday

7 pax joined D2 for the Ironman workout this morning, Tuesday, March 15th. A Tabata is a form of HIIT (high-intensity interval training). It is 20 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of rest. Traditionally it is a total of 4 minutes in length (8 rounds). This morning we did several in this order [...]

Kinder, Gentler

Lie on the ground and lift your hips off the ground like you’re trying to go in a nasty gas station and are trying to avoid touching the toilet seat (yes this is a Glute Bridge, with leg lifts)

Biceps, Back pain, Burn

Ironman 2/8/2022 by @Blackberry - attendees @D2  @Fidget Spinner @Blake VanDonkelaar / LOW LIGHTS, @Butterfinger @loveseat @Blackberry @Mrs. Howell, @Blackberry I had pretty ambitious goals for our brief workout; some would say cruel as they involved sprinting across the church parking lot and crawling endlessly through the mud.  But as the rain pushed us onto [...]

Tuesday Tabata

I was stoked to see a steady stream of cars (and a bicycle) pulling into the parking lot of SSCC this morning. Nine pax took the daily red pill and rolled out of the warm fartsack and into the 38 degree gloom here on St. Simons Island. Warmups:Disclaimer and into some LBCs, neck rolls, weed [...]

Go Dawgs!

Given that the CFP National Championship game was on a Monday night we probably could have canceled Ironman this morning. Nevertheless, Siri was a HC to Q and had the DiEGO winkie ready to roll (the tide). Just like them Dawgs! It was a very quiet morning when I arrived at Ironman. No Siri and [...]

Who has the Q?

5 pax posted in the cold but refreshing gloom to get in the work. But who has the Q? An all-important question. The rundown - D2 originally signed up to lead yesterday early afternoon. But then out of nowhere, Blackberry posted about how awesome the Q he had planned for Ironman would be. D2 had [...]

Smokehouse

7 men met in the gloom this morning to get pumped and get warm. We abandoned our normal spot under the lights and headed to the covered patio. warmup - michael phelps, finkle kicks, bat wings, weed pickers, tempo squats the thang - this turned out harder than I thought. We basically did the famous [...]

baseball

On a clear and beautiful Tuesday morning, 6 men joined D2 to play baseball. Well, technically there was not a bat or a ball, so maybe baseball is a stretch (7th ining joke). But I had bases and that was enough for me. As always the morning started with a disclaimer followed by a good [...]
