Got fixed the backblast issue- working again just in time for announce today’s RUCKZY. Launched with the run bros. They were a bit slow so we finished before them. Enjoyed the discussions with Chops. I think we hit 17 topics, including the longevity of hairdryers, while going up and down the Kildare to penny hill. Perhaps this Ruckzy can continue next sunday with more guys joining.

And just like that AKOA week comes to a close. Some may reflect on this as SCary’s first CSAUP of 2025. Some may reflect on it as the most fun they’ve had all year. Some may reflect on it with disdain and an attitude of good riddance. Some may even still be asking themselves, what is AKOA Week?

Astro kicked things off this morning with some attempted deception involving multiple laps around the upper lot until finally heading towards the dock for warm-ups. Upon the mosey to the dock who should appear but Kitty Litter, OTW, and Amway at various locations each calling their ‘signature’ exercise. Fairly standard warm-ups with the inclusion of the Rick Rude which left Texas Ranger in tears, then passed off to the cat who may be on his 9th life.

Kitty Litter took us down to the disc golf pickle for some AKOA four corners. By now I think you know which exercises were called.

OTW took us over to the rock pile for some rock work and TAKE THE HILL (which was more of a tiny bump to Pick Up).

Amway led us back to the pool for How Well Can You Keep a Secret burpees, Last Man Merkin-ing, and Mary.

Thanks to everyone who participated in and supported this endeavor. Part of what makes this group great is not taking ourselves too seriously and pushing each other to do more than we thought we could. This week accomplished that and shoutout to the guys who completed a full AKOA week. Now who’s ready for part two?

After Astro and YHC participated in the 1-mile EC, everyone was left wondering who the Q would be. Alas, YHC got in my car and left.

BUT WAIT!

Just as the clock struck 0530 and everyone thinking Astro would be their Q, YHC came roaring in the back entrance of the parking lot and emerged from my vehicle like a knight in shining armor. After bidding farewell to my partner in crime, we headed off to embark on our journey.

After a quick warmup along Tryon to demonstrate some AKOA favorites, which are now SCary favorites, we then proceeded to do the main Thang which was a pearls-on-a-string style inflating and deflating set of AKOA exercises along the entire stretch of the dark greenway.

The exercises were as follows:
5 stingray merkins
10 Stifler’s moms (even though Gravel Mouth doesn’t know who that is)
15 American sledgehammers
20 Astro jacks
25 Marge 2 Homers
30 sledgehammer WWII’s

We added one exercise at each stop, until we got to the top of the pyramid (30 reps), then we removed one exercise at each stop until we got back to the nonexistent flag.

Lastly, we circled up for some Cat Scratch Fever, then did some tuck jumps to get everyone moving again, then we went around and did some popcorn Mary to close it out. Was great to be back at the other Friday AO location. Not a lot of mumblechatter today but I enjoyed it. Thanks for the opportunity to lead. MIAGD.

>From the looks of a few faces when arrived, someone lost their bets early. In non typical Amway Q school fashion, YHC showed up and winged it based on the audience and the chatter. Off to the small parking lots for a warmup along with a guy who has a very specific parking spot.

Mosey to the smaller parking lot for a super short 4 corners. Merkins, squats, LBCs, and AKOA 2024 creations. Discussions included trail runs, arcade investments, and neck week coming soon.

Mosey to the finally open gates. Some say it’s coincidental, I say they knew it was AKOA week. Over to behind the stage stairs, steps, and bars. Calves, dips, and Aussie pull-ups.

Mosey back to the flag for some Mary by the pax. HAND!

Great to feel human again. DDD 2.22, HG25 4.19, SCP 4.27. Neck Week TBD. MIAGD!

An interesting start to AKOA week at 88 MPH. 0530 struck and neither Mr. AKOA or site-Q Kitty Litter were to be found, so YHC stepped up to the plate. Let’s mosey up to the Whole Foods lot, at this point Term Paper informed Breezy that despite his absence some things never change, such as the standard SCary warm-ups. Properly warmed we headed down to the lot behind the medical offices, seemed like as good a place as any.

Still deciding what to do, YHC decided upon a double pain train. For train #1:

K at Scratch Fever
I mperial Squat Walkers
T ravolta Merkins
T ie Fighters
Y ves Poll

Train #2:

L t Dans
I mperial Stormkickers
T uck Jumps
T ravoltas
E 2K crunches

Time running out so back to the flag for a quick round of Mary consisting of the:
R osalita

Seemed only the proper way to honor the missing site-Q.

Announcements / Prayers / Praises

Was good to have Breezy back out with us!

LOCH ‘N LOAD: We started with the Mission of F3, the Pledge and the Core Principles. We went for a warm-up jog and did a few warm-up exercises at the Boat Ramp. We started 11’s with Burpees and Peter Parkers at each book end on the Long Hill South West of the dam. An audible was called and the 11’s were reduced to 7’s. Below the dam we completed a round of rock partner pickle curls, rows and triceps. We then hustled back to the Flag and did Low Slow Flutters.

See Slack for Announcements and Current Events.

Prayer requests:
Bing has a job interview.
Astro’s friend has heart complications (hole in heart)
Kirkland’s child’s friend’s mother is battling an illness.
Prayers for injured and recovering PAX.

With some “encouragement” from Shipyard, today we explored some recent phenomena…

I’m not saying it was aliens ….but it was the aliens!

Started with a mosey to warmups. Blew the PAX minds when they discovered the first man on the moon Neil A. Armstrong’s name speeled backwards is A.lieN.

Discussed the apocalyptic scene in New Jersey that has many in panic thinking UFOs were invading. Turns out it was the Goodyear blimp over MetLife stadium. The PAX then participated in inflating BLIMPs.

Burpees x5
Lunges x10
Imperial walkers x15
Merkins x20
Plankjacks x25
Squats x 30

Thang 2 was to represent the Georgia state patrol chasing an UFO across the sky turns out it was just the planet Venus. Thus we did setof 5’s – merkins and CDDs with bearcrawl to and from.

Finished with MARY, where we learned Australia does it differently and Term Paper introduced us to Homer to Martian.

Ended with COT. Prayers to the health of our families, specifically our elders, and Maywe continue to be leaders in our community.

AKOA? Next week
F2 event at Weld Wednesday next week

9 for a wonderful first foray back into fitness after I spent a weekend riptiding around the Caribbean with a few hundred of my now closest friends. Headed over to Waverly to look for buried treasure (forgotten Christmas presents) under the site of the famous Waverly Christmas Tree. Dug our way through merkins and squats. Finding nothing at X marks the spot, and quickly running out of grains of sand in our hourglass, our ragtag band of pirates followed the map around the perimeter of Waverly with still no luck. So back we went to launch an assault on USS DoughBoy. Good times were had by all.

Most important announcement by far was 2/1 Ice Cream for Breakfast at Two Roosters.
