Breaking promises for a Burpee Free Q

Breaking promises for a Burpee Free Q

My Q rotation generally lines up with a Cantore – aka rain, which generally has me scrambling to come up with an indoor routine (1 routine that I use all the time “sandwich board”) and somewhat unprepared for an outdoor workout. No rain this morning; I quickly surveyed my garage for some potential props for use at the floater. I came upon the “Hurley bag” – AKA basketball mesh bag filled with various things – 6 smelly mesh practice jerseys, 3 cones and a ladder. This would be the fun bag – threw it in the car and headed to The Floater.
The garage scavenger hunt had me running late and I hit The Floater at 5:29; a few minutes before SJT (Standard Jingle Time). Much to my surprise the mad lurker was there ahead of me – along with an FNG. Score one for Jingles.
Mosey around the block and back to church for some warm-up:
SSH
4 Count Imperial Walkers
Stare directly at FuseBox – eye to eye contact. He was uncomfortable
Mnt Climb/Plank Jacks and Merkins

The Thang:
Heard some mumble chatter on when a visit to #KeithJongHill would happen. Not wanting to disappoint the troops I headed directly to the hated dictator. There at the crest of the hill the Pax laid eyes to the smorgasbord of goodies I had laid out on the hill – smelly jersey, and cones lined up equidistant apart up the hill.

First Course:
Bear Crawl – Tuck/Merkin/Hurley
From 2nd cone from top – bear crawl to cone then 10 Tuck…next cone Merkin
From 3rd cone –bear crawl to cone then 10 Tuck…next cone Merkin…next cone Hurley
From 4th cone – bear crawl to cone then 10 Tuck…next cone Merkin …Hurley..Merkins

This was a short course – but so far the FNG/Jamie was hanging

Lap around the bottom of the floater hill and end up at the bottom stopping at the ladder I had laid out.
FNG/Jamie… where did he go… he’s still with us….

Second Course
Suicide up the course (9 Cones)
Each stop back at the bottom = Merkin Ladder – side plank to each square with a merkin at each – total of 13.

This was a Gaser for me. I didn’t seem to fool the speed skaters – BottleCap, Hollywood, MoneyBall Easy Button—ShakeNBake was crushing it will soon be joining the speed skaters. The plodders like myself, Doughboy, Jingles, FuseBox and Hooch tolerated the abuse from the dictator – good showing.

Finish and head back to parking lot – for some marry—-oh no I hear a train at 6:13. 2 Minutes of Burpees……

FNG – Jamie = “Happy Ending” Jamie is a Massage Therapist – if he goes “Orville” will it be from the workout or the name?

Circle up – Announcements:
Commitment for Saturday
Sunday Fellowship Discussion
Pool Party June 8th – This is a fundraiser for Sandbox as well. If you can’t attend please think about donating to the cause.

Always an honor to have chance to lead this great group of guys. I call it the melting pot of workouts – from speedskaters who set the pace – to the Clydesdales who provide the power – some young guns, millennials, genx and baby boomers? did I miss any demographic?
