BurpeeTrain vs. Lochness Monster

BurpeeTrain vs. Lochness Monster

13 PAX made their way to the skyscrapers of downtown Waxhaw in hopes of catching a glimpse of the #BurpeeTrain which has been talked about in the local tabloids.  In recent workouts, some “pseudo-BurpeeTrains” have been spotted but no confirmed sightings of the ACTUAL #BurpeeTrain.

WARMUP

• The Floater disclaimer given:  “I’m not a professional.  Modify as needed.  If a train rolls through town, drop what you are doing and do Burpees non-stop until it has exited.”
• Mosey just outside the shadow of the Watertower
• SSH x 20 IC
• Tempo Merkins x 20 IC
• Peter Parkers x 10 IC
  • Hold it . . . Don’t tell Frack
• Imperial Squawkers x 10 IC

  • 10 hand slap merkins
  • Back to middle of hill

• Commence the #BurpeeTrain with 6 count Burpees
• As we crossed into double digits, some PAX talk about started about it being over
• Then we hear more . . . So more burpees
• After 20, we realized that it is yet ANOTHER false alarm; construction work on the track
• Grab the weights and head back to COT
• Got time for 3 MOP (Minutes of Plank)

FLOATING MOLESKINE

• There were some sure signs of Spring and the warm weather:
  • Gatorcub sporting the shortsleeve Tie-Dye shirt
  • Fuse Box bringing his FNT (“Friendly” Nasty Towel)
  • PAX breaking out in a full lather during warmup
• This led to a healthy discussion post-workout on GroupMe about what temp each PAX starts sfetzing
• A full analysis of symptoms of #ClydesdaleProblems was had:
  • Sweating in warmups when it is 30 degrees
  • Sweating post workout after shower
  • Sweating while typing on GroupMe around lunchtime
• Another deep and important discussion during the workout was about movies that had dogs in them; riveting discussion between Hooch and Mad Dog whondragged others down to their level
• The next Facebook Watch documentary might just be “Recalculating vs Time” . . . The guy is crushing it and OWNS the hill that was named after him #KeithJongHill
• Not to be outdone, Xerox is sneaky fast
• Finch has dropped 30lbs in the last few months; a testament to posting on a regular basis and pushing yourself (and the stress of losing the Super Bowl).  Great job!
• Tooth Decay has quickly become a front of the PAX guy
• Doughboy is getting as strong as the scent on his gloves
• Mad Dog and Finch were setting the pace on the partner plate run
• Foundation and Moneyball continue to set the pace with speed and jokes
• Hooch and Turner, err, Longhorn continue to break records . . . Today’s was leaving early enough so they were home and in their shower before we prayed
• Will we EVER see a real #BurpeeTrain?
• Will we ever see HalfBack again after his CrossFit departure?
• Will we see StubHub’s backblast from last week?
• Will Cha-Ching go rogue and show up on his own?
• Button’s consecutive game streak is broken at The Floater
• Will we ever see Posse at The Floater?
