2020 Campaign Kickoff

2020 Campaign Kickoff

(Posted on behalf of The Wall)

Four men gathered at Shiloh Elementary to get a jump start on the 2020 election season on a pleasantly warmish morning for November. That’s a big crowd for Conviction. All vets, but I disclaimed anyway as I could sense the pax ready to pounce on any VQ errors and omissions. Not to worry there would be plenty more opportunities for that in the next 45 minutes.

Mosey through the parking lot

Bearway to Heaven – bearcrawl 6 parkings spots then 1 merkin; bearcrawl 5 spot then 2 merkins etc.
Mosey around to the bus parking lot – sets of run/monkey humpers/run/low slow squat.
Partner work. Run around the track in opposite directions, then hand-slap merkins at halfway points.
To the playground for three sets of derkins, supines, and dips.
To the rock pile for two sets of curls, presses, and skull crushers.

Mosey back to the front lot for

6 MoM
Each pax called an exercise. Did Freddie Mercs, dolly, back scratchers, lbcs, and a couple of other things I don’t remember.
Moleskin
Four men out and four men back.

SometimesI think we sort of take that for granted.

Thanks to Hair Band for the timely advice. Saved me from leading the pax in a game of cheez wiz roulette through moving school busses. Thanks also for not over correcting on every Q fail! I’ve actually heard him give veterans Q’s a harder time.

eHarmony was upfront and didn’t hear him complain at all. Must have saved that for when I was out of earshot. Last time I was at Conviction he was jumping to the top of the picnic tables during step-ups. Must be all the SSH we are so fond of in Union county. Congrats on the new job!
Crypto is great to have in the pax for a VQ. Just follows along, and keeps the eyerolls to a minimum while the Q announces the next set.
Was Bullwinkle present? He was not. Not to worry, he was scorned for his failure to show, as is the custom here.
Thanks for the chance to lead, it was a lot of fun. According to back half of Hair Bands “compliment” I will be better at it the next time around. I started in F3 in April 2017 and managed to avoid Qing for quite a while through some handy excuses.
