Proper Disclaimer: Don’t get hit by a car

10 were on-time. 1 came in on two wheels. 11 total showed up for this week’s episode of Base Camp, which featured the return of site-Q Benny from the 180-day Disabled List. Thankfully, F3 runs on guaranteed contracts, so his compensation as site Q was paid in full. Overly-CYA disclaimer was given, and we were off.

The Thang:

Mosey to David Park. En route, do 5 merkins at first street light along 51, 5 squats at the second, and alternate each streetlight down to the Park. When everyone arrives, turn right at the fork in the road toward the lesser-used part of David Park, heading toward the dog park. On the way down, 3 burpees and 8 merkins at each of the 7 street lights down to the back parking lot.

After a little Mary in the parking lot to rest the chesticles (Dolly, Rosalita, LBC’s), we proceeded with a little Paula Abdul along the parking spots. Bear crawl 2 parking lines, do a merkin. Back up one line, and repeat. There was about 20 lines, so we got the blood moving. More Mary to rest before we begin the long slog back to launch. 3 dry docks and 8 monkey humpers at each street light on the way back. Mary to wait for the six. Stopped for Mary a few more times on the mosey back to launch. Rolled in about two minutes early, so we ended with one minute of People’s Chair and one minute of plank. Done-ski.

Announcements:

Dredd is Qing Cerberus on Friday 8/17

A51 vs. SOB paintball match on 9/15

Kotters to Benny as he’s back at it. Good to see him back out in the gloom. His return brought out Mr. Brady, who didn’t remember how to do a merkin or burpee. If you missed it (as most of you did), I think Brady is next scheduled for a boot camp in 2026. YHC is glad he was around to explain the difference between a street light and stop light (Q fail).

Semi-gloss also made it out and was looking strong. Always great to have Strange Brew join us, as well.

Thumper was near the front, as usual. He’s got his VQ at Base Camp next week, so hopefully we can get a good crowd and heckle him properly.

Great work this morning by everyone. Probably wasn’t as “moderate” as Base camp is supposed to be, but it was a strong group and everyone got ‘er done.
