Nostradamus Meets Dinky

Nostradamus Meets Dinky

5 wise men, who know how to stay dry on a rainy day, posted at CCHS for The Fishing Hole.  YHC thought I might be solo but alas the parking deck won a few over (at least BOG said so).

The Thang:

Mosey over to deck for warm up – Cotton pickers, slow lunges, and imperial walkers

Circuit work with burpee ladder at start on level one, run up long ramp to level 3 for shoulder work, then run down to other end of level 3 for ab work before heading down the steps to the start line at level one.   We started with 5 burpees and made five trips so as to finish with 10 burpees at the end while also sprinkling in some peoples chair before shoulder work on level 3

Round 1 shoulder work was regular merkins, stagger right, and stagger left and ab work was dolly and low flutter

Round 2 shoulder work was CDD and wide arm merkins and ab work was Rosalita and high flutter (lunge walk half way down level 3)

Round 3 bear crawl up to car then run to level 3 for shoulder work of regular merkins and diamonds and ab work of box cutters and knee ups (backward run half way and karaoke other half on level 3)

Round 4 crab walk about 20 yards before run up to level 3 for shoulder work of balls to the wall and planks and ab work of LBC (backward run half way and karoke other half down level 3)

Round 5 we ran up middle stairs to level 4 and then down the stairs at end to level 1 (only time we got all the way in the rain except beginning and ending mosey)

Finish with peoples chair and 20 merkins OYO

Naked moleskin

One of the PAX guessed 7 burpees on round 3 of the circuit (aka Nostradamus) and other quickly caught on for last two rounds.   Old guys are really smart.   I bet more guys would have posted if they had known Nostradamus was going to post.   He’s even more famous than OBT and OBT drew a crowd of 14 but the weather was infinitely better that day (timing matters).

Blades of Glory was stumped when I asked him how tall was the tallest skater to ever win an olympic medal but he said we would research and get back to me.  I could not find on google but did find this comment

“Lysacek, like Boitano, is tall for a singles skater. Most seem to range in the 5’6 – 5’8 range
Ladies are lucky to be an inch or two over five foot.
Scott Hamilton isn’t even five four, neither is Paul Wylie. They are dinky even by mens figure skaters standards.
expand your horizon and watch the other disiplines, you’ll be presently surprised.”

Google can be harsh – calling BOG is “dinky” is just wrong.   If they had seen him slogging it out on the deck this am they would a least given him a “stylish” rating

Caddilac surprised me by being ready on time for the car pool pick up much less being out at all.  He is starting to get his act together (age will do that to a man) and his fitness is coming along nicely.

Chopper didn’t find any loose change on the deck floor so his running tally is still $25.29.  Cooter asked if he could manage that stash but found out he is also a financial planner and didn’t need help – thank you very much.   I think Chopper and Cooter both went back after COP to look for more change.

As always, an honor and a privilege to lead this am.
