Double Dutch Cage Match

Conditions- 45 and NO RAIN!!

0514- one minute warning and disclaimer. Crayola asked if we needed his speaker. His is bigger than mine. Why not. It looks like it takes 8 D cells to power this thing.

0515- head to the coupon cage. We will work inside the cage. This is getting to be a thing. I didn’t know how long this WOD was going to take, so this would cut down time hauling coupons all over the place.

0516- Crayola is tired from carrying his sound system.

The Thang- Dork WOD

Boston firefighter Michael “Dork” Kennedy, 33, of Boston, Massachusetts, died fighting a nine-alarm fire on March 26, 2014. Kennedy served with the Boston Fire Department for six and a half years and was a Marine Corps sergeant who served a tour in Iraq before that. He is survived by his girlfriend, Sarah Wessman, and many other beloved friends and family members.

BOM- YHC prayed us out.

NMM- Before I could pick a WOD for today, I had PAX hitting me up for what I had in mind. Since it was nothing at that point, I asked Inspector if he had a special request. Unfortunately, he did, and it involved jump ropes and a crap ton of jumping. Let’s do it. Now, where to procure that many jump ropes. I knew Baby Blu brought a bunch to Terrapin one time. So, I pick up the ropes from Blu, and he asked me if BenGay was going to be there. When I told him he was, Blu asked if BenGay knew that we were jump roping tomorrow. I had forgotten all about BenGay’s loathing of jump roping. Instantly a smile came across Blu’s face. You would think a man that loves to bearcrawl would be twisted enough to enjoy jump roping. Apparently not. It worked out perfectly. We had 9 jump ropes and 8 PAX. One could have been used by a fartsacking PAX that is currently regretting that he didn’t wake his 6 up and post this morning. Mumblechatter was nonexistent. Or maybe it was there and we just couldn’t hear it over Crayola’s PA system. BenGay absolutely despises jump roping, but the man didn’t utter a peep and just pounded them out. TCLAPS brother. I’m going to do some digging and see if I can find out if Crayola and Inspector were on some kind of county or school Double Dutch competition team. Shouldn’t be hard to find the only 2 bearded middle schoolers jumping rope. Pothole and Mary Anne were spurring each other on. That’s how it should be. Motivate the PAX next to you to keep pushing. I had to promise kettlebell swings to get Pothole to show up. Why in the crap somebody would enjoy those is beyond me. Foreclosure and 2C were beside me hoppin, skippin, and moanin too. Foreclosure is a machine that must not need rest or sleep. I think he’s been in every backblast since he started F3 and it shows. 2C loved this WOD so much, he’s going to get him a jump rope. I have to say that I enjoyed this one. It was no doubt a sweatfest. Sorry BenGay, but the ropes will make more appearances in the near future. Thank you to everybody that came out this morning to honor Michael “Dork” Kennedy. Commendable work men!
