I Will Take You Places You Have Never Been Before

I Will Take You Places You Have Never Been Before

The long anticipated return of QIC to lead the faithful of Bagpipe inspired 20 PAX to show up on a warm November morning. After butchering the disclaimer by adding things about caring, pushing and trees we were off for a short mosey to Duckworths parking lot for:

COP:

SSH x 15,  5 merkins OYO, IW x 15, 5 diamond merkins OYO, LSS x 15, 5 wide arm merkins OYO, 15 LBCs 5 burpees OYO.

THE THANG:

Leave Duckworth’s parking lot and mosey towards the Lab Corp pond, find chairs or a wall and perform 3 rounds of 20 dips, 15 incline merkins, 10 decline merkins.

Once completed, it was another short mosey to Synchrony Financial parking lot for 4 corners. 2 corners of toe tap crunch the other 2 corners diamond merkins.  3 rounds, 10, 20, then 30 reps each corner. Perform various mary waiting on the six.

Another short mosey to the lost fountain and partner up. At the fountain, 10 throw down abs, then run around the  row of trees and meet in the middle for 15 hand slap merkins.  2 rounds then return to base for mary.

On the way back stop at various places for more merkins.

MOLESKIN:

My goal today was to take us to an unfamiliar area of Ballantyne Corporate Park. In the 2.5 years that I have been posting on Tuesdays, I don’t remember going to that part of the park.  This AO has so many interesting nooks and crannies.  One day I will find the elusive rock pile.

When culling through the list of names from the COT, QIC realized that there were more PAX attending Bagpipe than Swift. A few theories were postulated: Loogie and Patent Pending surmised that a PJ Q equates to an easy one, so that is why so many came out. I think from the number of PAX breathing heavy and Fire Hazard mumbling about the amount of merkins, that theory was proven wrong.  Bratwurst summarily dismissed he PJ effect by stating “par for the course this time of year.”  Since there is clearly cognitive bias at work, we can discount that idea. While others may have been confused and thought it was a running workout. But #imnotarunner.

Either way it was good to see Yogi, Loogie, Patent Pending and Tuck return to Bagpipe.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Balrog. Be there this Saturday: https://f3southcharlotte.com/2017/11/01/preblast-balrog-ii/

Thanksgiving Day Jam: workout led by Paper Jam 6:30am launch from the fountains at the Blakeney Shopping Center for those who want to justify all that they eat later that day. Preblast soon.

Prayers for Kirby’s M and his family.

As always, I am humbled to be given the opportunity to lead.
