9 Pax made it out to Chiseled for some station work and then we decided to cook the pork belly for the final 5 mins.
Cover standard Diccs and ensure all have signed proper waivers and 8 pax off for quick mosey around Mt. Chiseled. Upon return our 9th pax came in on 2 wheels calm cool and collected into the lot to join the group. But as this pax has sung before in concert…
Alright, Alright.
Yeah its alright.
Don’t need no five star reservations
I’ve got spaghetti and cheap bottle of wine…
Proceed to continue with quick warmup:

Moleskin:
8 pax joined YHC as we stayed on campus today for Ignition. The goal was to bring some fun back but also get the necessary work in and requisite 4 miles.
DiCCS provided and reviewed. Deflated provided his non-resuscitation orders (before applying proper chap stick). Next step was to ensure proper new D batteries installed on the Lasonic TRC-975 boombox and that duel cassette loaded with proper mix tape for our journey. Lets Go!
Indian run towards high school parking with 6 doing a burpee and running to front and grabbing and holding the boombox overhead. Once at high school parking lot put down music and line up.
Bratwurst Medium Rare Warm up:
High Knees 1/2 way and stride out rest
Butt Kickers 1/2 way and stride out rest
Carioca 1/2 way and stride out rest
Backwards run 1/2 way and stride out rest
Thang:
Partner up – P1 goes one way around outside parking lot, P2 goes other way. When you meet 20 x merkins. Do 5 x and then meet by speaker
Complete another Bratwurst Medium Rare set for rest
Repeat laps around parking lot another 5x with 20 squats this time
Complete final round of Bratwurst Medium Rare warm up
Indian Run again with speaker to bottom of circle by baseball fields. This time with partner P1 goes to top and begins squats along fence. P2 does 10 burpees OYO and then go to top and meet P1. Complete 5 sets
Finale
Indian Run back towards field along concrete path. Split up into 2 teams shirts (YHC team) and skins. Lets play a little Canadian Ultimate Frisbee (due to extended length of end zone). Caveat – any time frisbee hits the ground everyone stops does 5 squats. Very tightly contested low scoring due to defense lack of atheltic ability with catching throwing a frisbee. But at one point skins were up 2 -1. Due to YHC being competitive sore loser, lets take a quick break and do some Mary on the grass/dirt. Maybe this will disrupt the skins momentum. Continued to play for few more minutes, but did not appear to disrupt them enough so lets call for Mary again this time:
Big boy sit ups
Back Scratchers (Dasher appeared to be big fan as he showed me that I was #1 from across the field). Time is running down so game ends with Skins winning 3-2. Mosey back to start and meet up with Flash masses for COT.
Moleskine (Soap Box Time)
Overall good work and smaller crowd worked to our advantage. Goal was to get the work in and not forget that we can have fun. Believe it was a good change of pace for many that participated.
Mumble chatter:
Shake & Bake did not appreciate when I showed that the BoomBox has its own wheels and did not need to be carried over head
Deflated may have been more embarrassed with having to carry with choice of music playing, but was relieved when Hypnotize by Biggie came on
Dasher again likes to roam the middle like the late great Sean Taylor any chance he can in Ultimate Frisbee or Flag Football.
Hooch & Rubbermaid will be signing up for the next challenge on how to catch/throw a frisbee in 42 days.
Gerber made adjustments to his frisbee game and took full advantage of the Canadian endzones
Hollywood did his best Hunter Renfrow impression with being shifty and making some big catches on the field while also showcasing the dad bod
Bottlecap hopefully we passed our corporate inspection
Every time I think of B&C
Boys
I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here at Chiseled
And you’re miles away in bed
And I’m wondering why you never showed
there was no storm raging this a.m.
My gloves were not even frozen
I used to hear your names in certain circles
And it always made me smile
I spend my time
Thinking about you fartsackers
And it’s almost driving Recalc wild
And that’s Zin’s heart that’s breaking
Down his long distance driveway today
We Lawson Boys ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
We ain’t missing you
No matter
What my Millbridge/Quellen friends say
There’s a message in the backblast
And I’m sending you this signal today
You don’t know how desperate I’ve become
And it looks like B&C is losing this fight with Lawson
In your fart sacking world
we have no meaning
Though I’m trying hard to understand
And it’s my heart that’s breaking
Down Fuse’s long distance driveway today
We Lawson Boys ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
We ain’t missing you
No matter
What my Millbridge/Quellen friends say
And there’s a backblast that
I’m sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if you can’t cross the bridge and drive the distance to Chiseled
Stop this GroupMe posting overload #nopostnopost
We Lawson Boys ain’t missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
We ain’t missing you
No matter
What my Millbridge/Quellen friends say
We ain’t missing you (We
ain’t missing you)
No way
Since you’ve been fartsacking today (I can lie to myself these days)
We ain’t missing you
And there’s a storm
that’s supposedly a raging
Through Banjo/Fuse’s AO today
But they decided to stay away
And Recalc/Draper/Ol Mcdonald/Foundation at missing you at all
Since you’ve been gone away
We ain’t missing you
No matter what my Millbridge/Quellen friends say

Moleskin:
9 Pax joined came out to Ignition and got used to carrying some rocks around campus.
Warmup:
Grab a “running” rock from pile. Chatter starting already that pax afraid it will be like crossing the Delaware River as we heard Deadwood’s Q included Saturday. But low and behold everyone stayed dry.
With rock in hand continue to mosey down concrete pathway towards HS parking lot. Along the way alternate with rock in right, left, and both hands doing shoulder press.
Once in parking lot put rocks down and line up along line. Do multiple running warmups back and forth. Unfortunately, just did not feel right to do A or B skips without Brat in attendance, so those were saved for another day.
Thang:
Stacked 4 Corners:
Run to corner 1 do exercise, return to start. Run to corner 1 do exercise, run to corner 2 do exercise, return to start….
Start: 10 Merkins
Corner 1: 20 Squats
Corner 2: 30 Mt Climbers (15/leg)
Corner 3: 40 Curls w/ Rock
Corner 4: 50 LBC
Upon completion. Get with group and do burpee indian run to all are completed. Once all completed everyone grab a rock and burpee indian run around parking lot. Upon running to front Pax at front hold rock over head until next Pax arrives. Continue to 2 circles by Football Stadium
Partner Rock Run:
Partner Up and P1 run one way around circle w/ rock over head. P2 run to bottom circle and around. When meet partner complete 5 hand slap merkins. Trade rock and continue. Complete 5 rounds
Once complete Rock Burpee Run to Transporter Shed – Wall Sit and 20 x Jabs IC
Once complete mosey with rock up concrete path to 2nd light from COT lot.
Curl/Tyson Suicide Run:
All pax walk and do curls to next light with rock. Drop Rock and run to Transporter’s Shed and do 100 5 x Mike Tysons (This was not Recalc/Hooch’s AMRAP). Return to rock and repeat – curl to next light and run to Transporter Shed…
Moleskin:
9 Pax came out to Ol’ 87 and were surprised that we would avoid any running in the rain today. In fact the whole workout was scheduled to be completed under the portico. Now, what is the reasoning for this:
1. Did not want to hear complaints from MB regarding running around in rain
2. Saw that Posse, held the group at Chiseled to just over 1 mile of running yesterday, and figured hold my beer as YHC will further reduce the mileage today much to dismay of Deadwood. (Double Win)
3. YHC was not sure how bad the weather was going to be and already decided to keep contained to avoid wet sneakers
At start with 2 mins to go, YHC began going through DCCS, and look who comes strolling in but Recalc with a hat similar to below. Appears he has taken safety to whole new level when talking about wet DCCS.
Warmup:
Mosey to portico and then begin running laps around outside of picnic benches
Circle up
40 x SSH
15 x Imperial Walkers
20 x Low slow squats
20 x merkins
Thang:
Break up into 2 teams and walk through competition that would include using the 45 lb plates so kindly provided by Bottlecap in various relay races to 25 laps.
Round 1: Pinch Grip around cone while pax does step ups
Round 2: Hair Burners and derkins
Round 3: Pinch Grip around cone while pax does in/out on benches
Round 4: Overhead Plate run to parking lot while pax does squats/derkins
After each round losing team had to do 10 burpees. Kudos to team of Zin, MB, Deadwood, Recalc winners of all 4 rounds. They were able to not only win with YHC holding them down in first 2 rounds. But after making an in season trade of YHC for a future player to be named later, continued to crush it.
Moleskine:
Doughboy – makes the 45 lb plates look like 25 lbs in those big old paws.
Deadwood – YHC felt like a cowboy wrangling a colt by keeping him in the barn and not allowing him to reach minimum of 3 miles for 2nd day in row.
Bottlecap – good push and way to keep the team competitive. Reverse effect when BC is holding those 45 lbs weights with those tennis arms – looks like he is holding some circus weights today
Loafer – good to see you 2x this week. Way to push the pace and get back into this week.
Zin – good chatter today from you today, and way to double down with a Clyent Dinner Q tonight
Recalc – enjoyed the hat choice today, look forward to first AMRAP tomorrow. Will there be birthday cake in celebration of 51?
Moneyball – way to get after it, but watching you do hair burners is like watching Sid the Sloth from Ice Age pushing a weight
Easy Button – unfortunately was not able to be on the winning side today, but great effort. YHC sure that he will be looking to stack the team next time we have a relay competition
Announcements:
Come on out to Clyent Dinner tonight for a Zin led Q. Be sure to have photo id, and wristbands will be handed out starting at 5:30. Should be a fun go!
Continue to keep Lynn Marie in prayers, and please say prayer for George YHC father-in-law who goes in for heart valve replacement surgery tomorrow and for Hooch’s son Carson who is also undergoing surgery tomorrow as well.
With the temperatures supposed to reach a high of 37* in Western Union County, a group of 10 strong showed up for the first iteration of Flash expecting to be kept warm. The goal was to just keep the heart rate up and keep moving.
Warm up:
The Thang: like I said, just keep moving
Moleskin:
We finished just north of 3.1 miles and never stopped moving while keeping the 6 close by. Old MacDonald looked like young MacDonald and Jingles is a sandbagging son of a biscuit. Someone say biscuit? Well done Boberry way to get back out there and press on.
For the other guys who didn’t get mentioned specifically great job. Way to fight off the fartsack. I appreciated the opportunity to lead you fine gentlemen and look forward to future workouts.
So the 2019 challenge has been more challenging then many can imagine, due to YHC having to be at corporate have not had much time to dedicate to tracking, reviewing scale pics (many need some pedicures), and sending out update. But have decided to schedule a “conference call” to get out first round of updates.
Note: Current scoring excludes unofficial weight loss #’s will try to get a good update from all next week to include.
Team | Pts |
Deadwood / Tupperware | 12 |
Rudy / Recalc | 10 |
Foundation / Rubbermaid | 10 |
Zin / Dancing Bear | 9 |
Banjo / Jingles | 6 |
Wedding Singer /Knish | 1 |
Deadwood /Tupperware – it appears in week 1 they do what they know best and that is Q. Unfortunately points for Qing are capped, so Deadwood will not be able to Q himself to victory here. But he has taught the young jedi how to gain points by Qing at Chiseled last week and have started off with a solid 12 point posting performance. Also – Kudos for bringing along a FNG
Rudy/ Recalc – appears that Recalc is going to lean on the Golden Domer to bring home a victory in this competition. Rudy not only timed up his VQ correctly, he was consistent in posting even if it meant coming in at Jingles time to make Chiseled. Recalc went MIA for a bit during week and was off normal posting schedule but was able to still break out the Karate Kid headband for a 4 pt performance. We will see if Coach Hurley will inspire a better performance in upcoming weeks
Foundation /Rubbermaid – Unfortunately Help Desk was hit with injury bug, but thankfully Rubbermaid has stepped in. Get better soon Help Desk and look to see you back out there soon. YHC has tried to come out gate strong and maybe counteract the late night cookies by attending extra workouts and ensuring a Q mixed in. Excited for opportunity to work with the Lieutenant and finish in the money
Zin having to carry the weight by attending workouts, but Dancing Bear doing best to send others to workouts while catching a few extra Zzzz’s in the morning. Dancing Bear – way to work the loop hole and still collect points from comfort of bedroom.
Banjo / Jingles – have split duties with Banjo attending workouts and Jingles on the mend for few he has resorted to starvation to collecting points. Jingles has unintentionally assisted YHC with losing appetite by sending scale pic with those gnarly talons in focus
Wedding Singer / Knish – started in hole this week and Knish/Commish has been MIA, but we expect to see a resurrection in the coming weeks and rumor has it that Wedding Singer has resorted to only baby formula until competition is over to further slim down.
Overall – good week it appears with many ensuring to attend workouts and push beyond comfort zone. Look forward to seeing results in upcoming weeks.
19 Pax showed up at Watchtower this morning for a gentle uplifting workout. But before we get into the particulars we made sure to have a little discussion about DCCS.
DCCS – is something that all Q’s and Site Q’s should concentrate on for 2019.
