In the cards

playing_card_rev

 

12 lucky Pax fought of the lure of the fartsack to see what YHC was dealing up for today’s downpainment.  Here’s how it played out:

* COP:

Mosey to bus lot

  • 10 SSH
  • 10 Slow Squat
  • 10 Seal Jack
  • 8 8-count man-makers
  • 10 IW

* Time for cards: YHC reviewed card rules:

  • Diamonds = Merkins (up the ante = diamond merkin)
  • Spades = Dead bug (on back, lift straight left leg up to straight right arm, repeat other side)
  • Clubs = Supine pullup (up the ante =  regular pullup)
  • Hearts = Spartan burpie (up the ante = regular burpie)
  • Face cards = 10, Ace = 1, 10-card = ten-count, No jokers (seriously)

Amble over to playground and executed above cards, with few audible 10-counts from YHC.

****

Wishing it was done, but six minutes remain.  How fortunate.  Just enough time for some Mary:

  • LBC
  • Russian/Mason/Swiss Twist
  • Protractor
  • Flutter
  • Dolly

(counts on Mary was not noted by YHC, but fit nicely in time remaining)

*Moleskin:

With 90%+ humidity, you couldn’t move this morning without sweating, and we were doing some pretty intense moving.  T-claps to the Pax for gamely going along with YHC’s card play.  Apologies to those looking for more Moderate than Intense.  Great meeting some new faces (new to me), and a privilege as always to lead such a solid group of men.

Announcements:

  • Deadline is July 15th for this fall’s Mud Run (October 4).
  • F3 Dads this Saturday, 09:00 at Col. Beatty Park.

I still think it was a lame shuffle by the dealer. 😉

Great Q and I thought easily modifiable (is that a word?) for those that needed to.
Plus if they are going to post at some other “non moderate” AOs it’s probably good to push once in a while and everyone seemed to do great!

My fourth post this AM. And what a doozie.

If you’ve read any of my other comments, you know how much I *love* running. About halfway through, I thought to myself, “Self, this is awesome, beautiful post. We are not running, Self. This is a good, good thing.”

Self agreed. And for a moment, we were happy.

After another 10 minutes of the COP (Cards of Pain), I wished I was with the lads from Chariots of Fire, all beachside and running and stuff with the seabreeze flowing through my hair.

I asked Swiss Miss if it was a 3 deck shoe we were working with. He declined to answer.

All that said, great Q. As Hair Band mentioned, it was easily modifiable, and gave me a taste of the non-moderate AOs, which I hope to be ready for in a few weeks. Much like my typical experiences in Vegas, the cards kicked my butt, but this time, I liked it.

Cheers!

Also: 12 PAX + 1 Q = 13 souls. 13 cards per suit in a deck of cards.

Coincidence?

I THINK NOT.
