What We Have Is a Failure To Communicate
No Q. We had no Q for Dromedary. What’s worse? We had complete radio silence. Far be it from me to tolerate radio silence!
After looking through GroupMe for details on who was running Dromedary, I found nothing. Quickly, I flipped open the Comz app, #slack. I was sure I’d find the info there…I was wrong. Countless seconds went by as I scrolled through the 6 total posts on the #haw channel seeking answers.
Against my better judgment, I submitted my first post on Slack inquiring as to who on Q and volunteering my services should they be needed. It was a dirty feeling, one I hope not to experience again. To my chagrin, I didn’t even get a reply! So, I showed up today ready to lead with zero plan. Lots of paved surfaces, though!
The Warm up:
We got off to a rough start as I failed to announce we were starting and instead just took off running.
One lap around the parking lot and we picked up two stragglers, Manuel (aka El Capitan dela Forma Policia) and this year’s EFFEE Humanitarian of the Year award winner, Transporter.
- SSH: 30
- Potato Pickers: 15
- Imperial Walkers: 15-ish (I don’t have enough rhythm to count those things in cadence)
- Merkins: 10
- Mtn Climbers: 15
Workout:
Line up at the bottom of the hill by the football field. Do an exercise, run to the top of the hill, repeat exercise, run to far end of parking lot, repeat exercise, back to top of hill, repeat, and back to the bottom, repeat exercises. (5 total stops)
Lap 1: 25 squats at each station
Lap 2: 20 Merkins at each station
Lap 3: 5 burpees at each station
Mosey to covered area and grab some bench.
- 50 dips and run to end of side walk, rinse and repeat
- 15 steps ups each leg, run to end of sidewalk, rinse and repeat
- 25 LBCs
- 20 American Hammers (give or take)
Mosey around far side of school. At this point, we actually ran across an unpaved surface. Luckily for me, it was packed down mulch so no risk of blowing a tire.
Mosey around the school to the globe area.
At each light pole, 3 burpees. 5 lights x 3 burpees = 15 burpees
Waited for pax to finish and then took the mosey back towards the starting point.
Went to far end of the parking lot and did a good, old-fashion suicide. 3 total light poles.
At the conclusion of the suicide, we had just enough time to squeeze in one more long down and back.
Circled up and that was that.
Announcements:
- Dasher mentioned a family who’s college freshman son committed suicide yesterday. Di Allard (sic?) was the last name. Lift them up in prayer, particularly at this time of year.
- Mad Dog’s neighbor passed away
- Christmas Party- December 16. Transporter assures it won’t be a full-blown sausage fest. We shall see.
- Keep Red Rider in your prayers as well. He mentioned a family matter on GroupMe and asked that we continue to lift them up.
- Big Announcement- Tomorrow’s workout I’ve affectionately dubbed “The Floater” will be held at the Water Tower in Waxhaw at 5:30am. BC and Dasher are leading and exploring new places further south we can go.
- It was an honor and a privilege to get to lead. Thank you, as always, for putting up with me and my shenanigans.
