~17 pax gathered to support YHC in his 6th VQ. The temperature was well above freezing, but we centered our theme on ice (like the water running through Hammer’s veins)
o Some I.W.s
o Some L.S.S.s
o Some True Americans (hand-release merkin plank jack)… apparently Hops is the only person who can handle a 6-count exercise… the rest of the pax were utterly befuddled.
o Hacky Sack.. this is the time on Sprockets when we dance! (Or when everyone stands around and watches YHC dance)
· Mosey to center of the cushy turf field
o YHC asked the pax which 4 U.S. states comprise the 4 Corners nat’l monument. Hannibal nailed 3 of 4 (NM, AZ, CO), and thankfully someone bailed us out with a “Utah!” or we’d all still be in high plank. The jam went like this…
o 5 burpees before, b/t, and after each set
o Merkins
o Jump Squats
o CDDs
o Big Boy Situps
o Bear crawl or crab walk to the corner, mosey back to center (diagonals got LONNNNNGGGG by the 3 round!)
· Mary at center field
The patented “a$$ wrecker” (I told everyone they’d know why it’s called that tomorrow morning when they go to sit down on the toilet)… I heard some raucous laughter from the pax and realize…. That’s not exactly what I meant, but whatever.
o 20 SMCs
o 20 skater lunges (“Bonnie Blairs”)… (5 time Olympic gold medalist and native of Champagne, IL, Hops’ hometown)
Line up on the waterfall line… just enough time for 400 AYG, then back to start.
5 burpee OYO (yes, while YHC goes to get his phone)
· Moleskin
Puddin’ felt the need to bring into question Bonnie Blair’s $exual orientation. (But then again, many of us question that of Puddin’)
Welcome Homer! (Hawks Nest 1st-timer)
· Thank you, Sardine, for keeping me informed of when the 6 was in
· Thank you, La-Z-Boy, for initiating the 400, or we’d all still be on the line
· Pop Tart clearly sandbagged for 57 mins, b/c he crushed the 400… the kid’s got wheels when we wants to
· Floorslapper, I don’t know when or how you found us, but glad you did
· Hopper for informed us that his PT said CDDs are the “dumbest exercise on earth” (cool, I’ll be sure to double them next time)
Announcements:
It was truly a pleasure this morn. Shout-out to Hops for the solid send-off!
