2024 Tour de Lightmere is in the books. Record 44 pax showed for this year’s premier SCary event despite the 28 degree temperatures. In the gloom glow ropes were passed out on the cookie table, brief safety instructions and then we were off.

First stop in a cul de sac was all about warmups featuring stealth burpees and the required Scary stretch. Waved goodbye to the house and then safely crossed Lochmere drive to run to Windy Rush Lane. Gathering like the Hoos ’round the leaf pile we held for the six, did a few more exercises culminating in Monkey Humpers in front of @hgtv’s house. Then on to Candy Cane house where the traffic suddenly picked up.

Down to the dock where the featured exercise was @kirkland leading us in 100s, a stroll down Lochmere drive, Earkins, Dirkins, Dips…cross the road, through the disc golf course culminating in the crazy house. The back to the flag for COT. Around this time @Kitty Litter pointed out that mileage topped 2.0 miles — a bit more than expected, but the pax made it through.

Robust COT with 10 FNGs. Six took names and four wisely remained anonymous so that they can’t be tracked by the government spies among us. The fires felt mighty nice.

Thanks to @Shipyard and @ Water Wings for fire duties and to all who helped make this a lot of fun for all. Ten FNGs at YHC’s workout means that with multiplier effects, means that @Fruit Loop has rocketed into first place for the 2024 Scaryiest Man contest. I humbly accept the honor. Who knew that Tour de Lightmere was the sleeper event to achieve a massive victory from behind?

This morning’s animal-themed workout started with a review of the 3 F’s, then Armstrong led us in the pledge, then Spirit led us in a full speed warmup lap around the parking lot. Warmups consisted of various animal poses led by Spirit and a few called by fellow PAX.

We ran to another parking lot to do a variety of animal-themed relay races. The boys won 2 races, the girls won 1 race, and the dads won 1. The dads will need to train for next time.

Then we played kids vs dads capture the flag it was fun at first but didn’t end well….

SCary’s most dangerous AO claimed another victim and this time it was YHC…after a swift and heroic move capturing the flag, my getaway was foiled as I promptly slipped on the concrete and scraped up both my knees and dislocated my finger.

Special thanks to Jigglypuff and Sbarro for stepping in to help finish the last few minutes as YHC was bloody and somewhat disabled.

We finished with animal crackers (of course) and Gatorade. YHC was a bit disillusioned and forgot I had a whole carafe of coffee in the truck. Maybe I’ll save it for next month, LOL

Busy, hard working bunch this morning for some cardio cone work, obstacle course through the playground, basketball relay race and an intense Dads vs kids capture the flag game to wrap it up. Kids technically got the first flag capture and the win, but a headfirst full extension dive into the sandpit past 7 kids by The Super to start a late flag capture rally deserves kudos and a call out.
Wrapped it up with Juice Muffins and Z Bars… fun start to the day!

Big Rivalry coming up between the Chiefs & Ravens, oops Eagles. Started with the rules & pledge, all flawlessly executed. Followed by child & truck (parked) collision (ouch!) Thang 1 was the football basics running & passing. Thang 2 a little green light / red light with burpees as penalties. Thang 3 move to variation of sharks & minnows –>Chiefs & Ravens/Eagles. Last was pearls on a string kids choice of exercises.

Overall successful day, over a mile was covered. Honor to lead. Only minimal talking back to the Q from Augmenteds daughter.

Prayers for Dinosaur Roar. Prayers for all the moms. Verse of the day by Judge –> I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13

YHC did his best to keep order and the kids warm while we traveled around the paths at Ritter park. My son also brought a whistle.. you can imagine how that went.

We did 6’s (6 squats) and 10’s (10 jumping jacks) at the baseball field bases, obstacle course work and ran to the tunnel to squat jump and touch the beams above and finished off with some old fashioned merkins weighed down by the 2.0’s.

COT included Gatorade and checking out Francois ride.

Welcome to 3 new FNG’s of the Wings clan and prayers to family members that are struggling with health, traveling for the betterment of our nation and others around the world, and those unspoken prayers.

1st ever SCary Dad’s workout!
YHC was excited to see 2.0 FNGs present. Mission statement was explained, pledge executed before kicking off the warm-up.
Armstrong and Snorkel shot out of the gate strong way ahead of the PAX! Warm-up and stretching on the baseball and then a few laps on the playground obstacle course.
Next the PAX headed to the Greenway for what ended up being a little more than intended. Some 2.0s were eager and some faded fast due to the distance covered.
We got a quick water break before heading to the basketball court for some knockout and Mary.

Welcome Four-seam, Sbarro’s 2.0 and Armstrong, Amway’s 2.0!

Looking at making this a monthly event on the first Saturday of the month. Thanks for coming out!
