Need a little wind here



Need a little wind here

Spent the last seven days in Colorado, but Hops asked me to Q this day a month or so ago. Good to be back out in the gloom the day after my return from being a Mile High, and Q’ing actually was a good thing for control purposes. Legs got a good workout on the mountains out there #mercy, but the craft beer and bison definitely did a number on the midriff. Wanted to keep moving to shed the unwanted vacation calories, I think the PAX like it too.

Hops had the HN shovel flag planted promptly, and some late comers rolled in. HIPPA’s disclaimers are the absolute jam, so I plagiarized his “you can sue me, but it won’t do anything” thing and we had a good laugh. Good words direct from an attorney.

Got moving down the road and up to the turf field. Actually we went to the east field (which I had never been on), but quickly found it to be natural grass, rife with moisture. COP:

IW

LSS

MC

HRM

CDD

Mosey to the start of the road to the hotbox, instruct the PAX to their first All You Care to Give run up the hill to hotbox. Partner up.

P1 does called exercise at benches (three rounds: R1 step ups, R2 Dips, R3 derkins/irkins)

P2 runs around end zone net of practice field to the far corner and back

On your six for some Rosalitas and Dollys

Recover and Mosey to home plate area of the baseball stadium.

AYCTG to right field pole, 15 merkins, AYCTG back to home

Same for center field, 15 merkins, too much moisture in field to run back, Omaha straight over to left field pole for 15 merkins, then back to home.

Run to upper parking lot north of turf field, find your friend again.

P1 does called exercise (3 rounds: R1 CDD, R2 wide arms, R3 diamonds)

P2 runs the short track

On your six for LBC x 50

Mosey to turf field again, find your friend again

P1 stays on line of 18 yard box doing exercise (3 rounds: R1 jump squats, R2 sister mary katherine, R3 bonnie blairs)

P2 AYCTG to far 18 yard box and back; the wind here was merciless.

Mosey down to the bridge over troubled gas (Gloss) for wall sits and arm raises x 50 civilian.

Mosey back to launch for 40 seconds of burpees

done

Story time

Today would’ve been a great day for sailing. Outside the fact of being 5:30am and (feels like) 30 degrees.

Threw this one together, but some was planned out. On our first run on the football field by the hotbox, Gloss asked me if I was already off script. Damn, is it that obvious? Actually, that part of it was planned, but some other parts, not so much.

Also, Hops mentioned that Hawks Nest is coming up on the one year anny on March 13th. This weinke was a mishmash of things that have been done in the past, but I think everyone got something from it.

Typical chatter from usual suspects in Gloss, Hops, HIPPA, Pop Tart. Sprockets was crushing it up front as per the yoozsh, Cottonmouth and La-Z-Boy were two peas in a pod as per the yoozsh, Floor Slapper appeared 40 seconds before launch as per the (kinda) yoozsh, Thunder Road and Escargot were quietly getting work done as per the yoozsh, and great to see Mr. Magoo at another AO. Have worked out with him a couple times at Hydra.

Always look forward to starting my F3 week off at Hawks Nest. Great group of guys and great AO. There was an exception this morning as Gloss sharted on the bridge, claiming it to be clean. That stuff might have flown at Indepants High School, but not at Latin dude. NOT UP IN HERE!!

Hoover apparently smoked his Fast Twitch PAX, as only about half of them showed up for our COT. Good to see him along with Purell, Turkey Leg, and Duct Work. Apparently Haze ripped every muscle in one of his legs, and Gummy probably had to take a dump early. Not sure who else joined them this AM.

Great takeout by La-Z, thanks brother.

Announcements:

Hops informed the PAX that Red Rocks recently had a massive stroke, and he is now having to have major surgery to alleviate some of the pressure on his skull. This one hit me like a ton of bricks man. I went to App with Red Rocks (Brad Sherrill), and those that have attended Anvil and Hydra over the past few years probably have gotten to know RR. Such a great guy, and fit as a fiddle. Please lift Brad, his family, and his doctors up in prayer. Isaiah 53:5 – But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

and to think Gloss was described as my friend and partner during today’s workout….what he did on that bridge will never be forgotten, and the stain in his shorts will never be removed.
some other sundry tidbits from the morning’s downpainment:
* Escargot will be on Q again somewhere soon…how about getting you on the list at Hawk’s Nest?
* Floor Slapper was early….again. Who are you?
* Mr. Magoo is becoming one of the most well-traveled pax in Area51
Utah will bring his brand of pain to Hawk’s Nest next week.

“You can sue whoever you want, but you won’t win. You are here at your own risk!” Also liked the Semi call of “You can sue Latin, too, but all of the children of the entire law firm of MVA go here, so you probably won’t win that either.”

Good Q today and welcome back from vacay. The Gloom was not the same without you. Also appreciated the extreme monogamy of partner/friend selection today as Sprockets kept pushing me and making it look easy.

Magoo is everywhere.

Read on the Twitter that the School Grounds Crew is still working to decontaminate the bridge after the Peoples Porcelain Chair.

Outstanding BB, brother. So much good stuff here.

Solid backblast title. Fat guy in a little coat. I’m always honored to be mentioned in a backblast for a workout at which I didn’t post, so thank you. My quick departure was not a Code Brown, although you’re going to want to careful where you step in the woods near Davie Park since my run this past weekend.
