Gummy brings the Rolaids to RockZero

No SF planted as co-site Q Flipper was off in Cancun taking selfies of his pedicure and umbrella drink.  Several cars in the lot before YHC arrived…belonging to the misguided souls, I mean intrepid runners, who took on the Smoky Mountain Relay.  The RockZero pax mustered, and after a fairly thorough disclaimer by YHC’s standards, we launched for another Saturday morning assault on Area 51’s best AO.

The Thang & Ye Olde Moleskine:

3 pax/2.0 combinations, including Backdraft’s 2.0 FNG Stick.  Hard to think of Nemo as a 2.0, but he is only 16.  Of course, Dear Abby is plenty young enough for Chelms to be his dad…or is Chelms old enough to be his dad?  Anyway, I’m losing focus here.  Below is what we did, or something akin to it.

Jog to one of the lots near the gym building for COP:

IW x 20 IC

Slow Squat x 20 IC

H-R Merkin x 20 IC

Slow Flutter x 20 IC

CDD x 20 IC

Jog to picnic tables near volleyball pits for

10 Jump Up’s & 10 Derkins

15 Jump Up’s & 15 Derkins

20 Jump Up’s & 20 Derkins

Jog to playground for 3 cycles of:

Donkey Kick x 15 (feet on swings)

Jump Squat x 15

Jog to rocks near the ballfield.  Partner up and grab a rock.

Mosey to adjacent lot for the following:

P1 Overhead Press. P2 runs to light pole & back. Flapjack.

P1 Tricep Extension, P2 runs. Flapjack.

P1 Thrusters, P2 runs. Flapjack.

P1 Bicep curls, P2 runs. Flapjack.

Mosey to grass between road & ball field for following with rock:

American Hammer x 13 IC

Louganis x 13 IC

Squat hold for 1 minute? with rock.

Jog to the semi-circle wall with astroturf (prescription turf?) in front of gym.

Walk wall with feet on wall 1/2 way.  Bearcrawl down.

Walk wall other direction 1/2 way. Bearcrawl down

People’s chair with overhead press x 25 IC

Jog back to launch lot for some Mary including:

Freddie Mercury x 13 IC

Makthar N’djiaye x 13 IC

Protractor with each pax calling out degree.

Hand off from YHC to Gummy for final 15 minutes.

Apparently, Gummy called Triple Nickel on Northface for the remaining time.  Not sure what exercises he called at top/bottom of the aforementioned monstrosity.

COT & Announcements?

Flipper asked YHC to Q and then headed to Cancun…co site-Q Boerewors was also nowhere to be found…appreciate the support!  Former Site Q’s are personae non grata apparently.

Chelms, fresh off a week in the Florida Keys, stumbled in this morning.  Dear Abby, who’s finally getting some sleep since his 2.1 is now sleeping through the night, posted as well.  Good to see you back in the gloom brother.

Also had not seen La-Z-Boy, Cottonmouth or Busch in the gloom in a long time.  Good to see you gentlemen.  Busch even Re-EH’d Backdraft, or was it FNG Stick that pried him from the iron claws of the fartsack.  Backdraft, ever the surly sort, stated on a few occasions after YHC called an exercise – “This is why I quit F3”.  Welcome back friend…many happy returns.  Guessing your 2.0 plays lacrosse, thus the name?

Gummy was kind enough to Q the last 15 minutes as YHC had to bail at 7:45….had a golf round to play….even won some money!  Appreciate my co-Q showing up even after a late night at the USNWC with the M.

Teddy, Tiny Dancer & Jet Fuel were getting after it out there….triumvirat of silent assassins.

Nemo was flying around out there as was Dear Abby…and Busch as well….though he also made sure Busch Ice was on form….paying attention Chelms?

Our WD Marlin looking strong as usual.

Not sure what happened after YHC left, but the twitter remarks about the Triple Nickel lead me to believe there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth…and Backdraft probably quit F3….again.

Always a privilege to Q men.  God’s continued grace to all of you.

Sorry to have missed Hops returning to the rock! Decided to get an early start on Hoover’s move to his new place, with the help of Dingo and Murtaugh, so we got our workout in.

I’m not giving this BB a T-claps because I’m pretty sure I am the WD. Thought I heard Marlin call out 50 for his age. If correct than he gets the R but not the WD.

A few other guys claimed they had somewhere to be at 7:45 when I headed towards the North Face. Like a good closer, I had to bring the heater after Hops worked them over through 8 solid innings. Nemo said that was the only time he’d been to RockZero when Boerewors wasn’t there.

Like Goose Gossage bringing the fastball circa 1975… Man, the triple nickel up the North Face was shear brutality. I thought it was easy sailing after managing Hops’ form conscious jump ups (legs straight!), but then Gummy brought the pain. Solid workout by both Q’s. Felt it the next day.
