We won’t miss that dude…



We won’t miss that dude…

15 fought off the fartsack temptation, braved the cold, and showed up at the best AO in SCLT–Anvil.  It was so cold, Rachel had on long sleeves.  BRRRRR.   The virtual shovel flag flapped in the morning breeze.  The virtual Lobsta Roll showed up to Q.  Disclaimer was given. And, we’re off….not before 20 burpees to get the blood flowing.

Warm-O-Rama

ADIOS style warm up with:

A = Abe Vigodas (windmill old man style) x 10

D = Dancing Chilcutts (alt leg lifts in elbow plank) x 20

I = Imperial Walkers x 20

O = One-armed burps (no push up) x 5 each arm

S = Side Straddle Hop x 20

The Thang That Made Us Hurt

Partner up (size, speed, wealth, intelligence, looks, or political party does not matter).  Run between the curbs of the parking lot with descending hand-slap merkins at each side.  20 down to 10.  #CrowdPleaser.

Do some type of Mary to allow shoulders to cool some. Perhaps, it was dolly and heels to heaven.

Rack & Stack Suicides across the parking lot.  At each stop at the line (coming and going), perform called exercise.  Line 1 = Cliff Climbers x 10.  Line 2 = Merkins x 10.  Line 3 = Donkey Kicks x 10.  Line 4 = Burpees x 10.

Perhaps some more Mary?  Flutter.  Did we do something else?

Partner back up for modified Dora 1-2-3.  Do combined 75 merkins, 100 LBCs, and 150 squats while partner takes a lap around the light pole.  Finish with some Mary.

One more time across the parking lot:  10 merkins + crab walk to next line + 10 merkins + bear crawl to next line + 10 merkins + crab walk + 10 merkins + bear crawl + 10 merkins.

Leave the parking lot of pain and head toward launch.  Quick detour for a few trips up North Face.  10 jump squats at top and bottom.  Do as many laps (2-3) as time allows.

Finish.

YHC thought he completed the farewell Q a few weeks ago. But, alas, the Q shuffle at Anvil left a spot for today.  Mermaid asked, YHC begrudgingly accepted.  YHC wanted to stay close to launch but give everyone a little stocking stuffer.  Oh what fun it is…  Several mumble chatterers quickly and often proclaimed “I won’t miss VP.”  The PAX completed 265 merkins + how ever many you did for modified Dora.  Go ahead claim 300 total.  Hope you were able to raise your arms to wash your hair.  YHC doesn’t have that problem.  (Not because my arms didn’t hurt.  I just don’t have any hair.)

It has been a true pleasure to get to know the men of F3 SCLT.  YHC parachuted in from the Dash (Winston Dash Salem) in Feb 2015 and had an immediate network of friends.  From BRR to happy hour to pool party to afternoon smokes at Tinder Box, I really do thank all of you for your friendship.  I hope to be back in CLT from time to time.  If you make it to the Dash, look me up.  I will still be the old one with specs.  Until we meet again…

Now the Abe Vigodas and everything at the beginning make sense. And it isn’t ADIOS when you’re only an hour away. We can still track you down…
Great Q as always, Brother –

That hurt. Bad. And the cold had nothing to do with it.
I think Chelms was disappointed in YHC’s feeble rep counts on the modified Dora.
Grateful for you Van Pelt. Will miss you here in south Charlotte. Will definitely look you up in the Dash if I’m up that way. Go Deacs!

Nope – I just added 20 to whatever number you gave me.

Good luck on next endeavor VP.

Tough one VP, as expected. Hope the men of F3 WS appreciate the brutality you will inflict on them once you are posting regularly up there. As Hops said above, we will miss you in A51. The week ain’t over yet though.

Like VP, I didn’t have the issue of raising my arms to wash my hair, but I did attempt to shave my head this morning and it was a miracle I walked away unscathed. That was a tough one… happy to be a part of your farewell Q, but happier it’s over. Good luck!

Sorry to miss your farewell Q, Van Pelt. It was good to get to know you over the last couple of years. Best of luck back in WS and let us know when you’re back in town. We’ll see you in the mountains, if not before.
