Spaulding, get your foot off the boat.



Spaulding, get your foot off the boat.

Twenty two men met up in the humid gloom at Olde Providence Elementary.  There were no new faces (although some to me), the men were disclaimed and off we went.

Thang

COP – field behind school

  • SSH, IW, LSS, Merkin, Plank x 15

Concession stand

  • dips & durkins x15 each and then run to jungle gym for pull ups and incline merkins (all you got on the pull ups and 15 inclines).  We ran this route 3x.

Church

  • Partner 1 grabs a rock and does: curl, triceps, overhead press and thrusters x15 each.  Partner 2 runs to the opposite entrance and does 15 LSS.  We ran this route 3x.
  • We reconvened  by the rocks and threw them back.  Time for ‘catch me if you can’.  We left by the opposite entrance, crossed Rea, made it behind the school and back to the church.  Non running partner does 5 merkins.

School

  • 10 step ups by the benches under the oak and 10 incline merkins.  Run to the far end of the school and repeat once.

Mosey back to launch site for 5 minutes of Mary.

Announcements

New launch site at Cuthbertson HS on Labor Day.  Base Camp, DMZ and the Matrix will be shut down on Labor Day.

COP started out a little on the rough side.  Q called the first exercise as IW but started with SSH.  There was an objection or two.  Several men were thrown off, including myself, however we all recovered and were fine.  Crisis averted.  During the merkin part of COP, I noticed someone’s flatulence was also in step with the cadence count and it was mighty impressive.  Puddin know anything about this?  Puddin also advised that CMS is building a new high school on the back fields of OP.  It should be done by next summer.  The initial plan was to run the catch me if you can with the rocks.  I called an audible and the rocks were replaced.  Thank goodness – I didn’t want to deal with a mutiny.  After the workout, Cotton Mouth advised a great way to cool off is to put two bags of ice under your armpits.  Makes sense to me.  Puddin further advised that a bag of ice could be placed under another bag to cool off.  I don’t know about that one.  I’ll have to take his word for it.  Spackler what kind of vote response did we get for today’s workout.  Was it a 6 or a 7?  Maybe an 8?  As we were departing the parking lot, several men noticed Semi Gloss and Motor Boat were somewhat disrobed in Semi’s car.  Both were sharing genuine smiles of anticipation.  I’m sure it had a lovely smell going into work.  I believe it was referred to as a ‘burner car’.

I don’t know what you mean about this polling question? But what I will tell you is that semi gloss now has a podcast between himself and motor boat. It shall be called The Sweaty Fromunda Diaries. They probably talk politics and Chelms will be in the backseat next week headlining the tour.

Puddin’ Pop hasn’t seen Stroker Ace. He may be watching it now since I told him it had peak Loni Anderson in lingerie.

Jet Fuel says his kid’s SouthPark team could beat the LLWS teams. I think Hawaii would give them trouble.

Great Q, Thunder, but why do only Runstopper and Snowflake get listed in the pax? Snowflake has the presence of 10 men (I get that), but Runstopper??? Mehhh…

Foghorn (in his 2nd post) is still learning the ropes. When partnered for the catch me if you can, he thought his life truly depended on NOT being caught by his pursuer. (He moved here from inner city Chicago… that could explain things.)

Cotton mouth told me his shoulder has been painfully aggravated for3 months now. He confesses he’s changed his workout routine not one iota and continues to expect different results. There’s a word for that.
