Went into detail in Thursday's backblast about the two-part tribute to my dad, so not going to re-hash it here. Was in my garage yesterday when my supply of emergency water buckets caught my eye...after some thought came up with a plan to integrate them into today's WOD
Warm-O-Rama:
Run to the upper parking lot. SSH, Imperial Walkers, forward fold (boycotting the weedpicker), arm circles. Down the stairs over to the field, stopping to grab 3 5-gallon buckets
The Thang:
Extended board of pain. Ask Devito for details. While one partner performs the exercises on the board, the other partner will carry a bucket to midfield and back. No rx was given on the type of carry. Somewhere along the way PAX were given a 3-round reprieve from carrying the buckets. At 48 minutes, we stopped carrying the buckets. At 51 minutes, PAX were instructed to stay in and divide up their remaining reps. At 55 minutes, the PAX suggested we take some time to stretch, which sounded like a good idea. YHC guided the PAX through forward bend with shoulder opener, prone pec stretch, and seated twist.
COT:
Doing this reminded me of the Water Bucket WOD that Saint2O and I did back in 2021. I didn't have the stats with me today, but I reminded the PAX about water poverty and how many women are walking miles with water while also carrying their children because they don't have easy access to drinkable water. I found an article here that talks a bit more about water poverty. How blessed we are. No other items of note...
Naked-Man Moleskin:
Great to have another strong crowd at Dawn Patrol. Always a great boost to my Saturdays!
