Basemaster Classic – The Gopherfish

Good crowd at the Base Camp this AM, a site that I visit infrequently. Not sure if I’ll be invited back either, but it was a good time.

Thang:

Warmup COP in field of darkness listing to Swiper talk constantly about P90X while Simba pretended to be interested.

The Gopher:

– flapjack until time called

Mary:

– LBC
– Dolly
– Bicycle
– V Up
– 100s
– Simba’s call – 10 burpees

Skin:

Worked up a good sweat this am running the track. This is a nonstop one that starts to get to you after the 3rd lap or so, especially during the climb back up to the concession stand. Sorry it wasn’t more creative, but I was up late last night and had a lot on my mind this AM – so we went autopilot.

Simba said that this may have pushed the “moderate” boundary a bit, but I say “whatevs” to this. You guys can handle it (you already did). You could probably handle quite a bit more. You’ll pass out before you die, trust me . . .

Not sure if Swiper had every been to Base Camp, or if he actually knew anyone there, but he was flying around like he owned the place. He left early, but I think it’s because Simba asked him to.

Good to see Mall Cop, Wolfman, Strawberry, and some of the other guys that I don’t run across very often in my normal circle of workouts.

Welcome FNG Matt, who we named FMB (Fire Marshall Bill). He’s a Fort Mill firefighter who has never seen “In Living Color” and had not idea what we were talking about. Perfect.

Gotta run – busy day and no time for a ninja backblast. Sound off with any comments.

Swiper is fast and kept letting me know he was waiting on me. But I was there first on the last round I think that is why he left.

Adding HH and Swiper to the mix increased the chatter by approximately 320 percent. Always better with more chatter.

Do you think we should have changed FMB to FG (Fly Girl) for not knowing In Living Color?

FMB is hysterical, esp for a fireman. My favorite character by far.
Fly Girl isn’t far from naming him/someone “Jenny”, as in Jenny from the Block, J Lo, a Fly Girl.
