Man Training at Day Zero

Man Training at Day Zero

12 pax did what pax do. The place it was done was McAlpine Elementary. The goal of YHC and co-Q Jamboree was to bring some of this, a little of that, and a lot in between. We were striving for tired muscles and some good burn. It went something like this.

Moleskin:

Well, it started with 11 strong and punctual men but finished with 12 eventually.  Record tardy and coming in with such fresh energy (hate).  The frozen ground caused some men to get tougher today though it took working through mumble chatter brought on by temporary weakness. The iron went to work and began to sharpen the iron and gloveless Garbonzo somehow forced out 200 merkins on the Iron Horse Special.  This exercise was a real fan favorite and at 17,16,15 the pax began to call out form and other chatter to take their mind of the slow constant burn that was overtaking the shoulder and chest (and fingers). Legs, Chest, Stomach, Shoulders were all targeted and destination hurtfultown was achieved. By the halfway turn, YHC questioned if a Q has ever tapped out and went home when completing his part…what Jamboree added to finish certainly did finish and extract and use up ALL of what every pax had left. Great partnering Jamboree. You and I concocted an evil and merciless wienke.

A story was told by an un-named member of the pax about a Catch Me if You Can Game that was played on another un-named pax not at this workout who’s name rhymes with Riger Tag. This story involves the un-named pax to disappear behind a tree while Riger Tag went running and running and not catching and into some sort of barking and yawping at said un-named target. Who says we can’t have fun in the gloom? Classic!

Also, Stone Cold asks Radar how’s the “training” going? Not knowing what he was talking about I simply asked if the training was on how to be a man? Honest enough question. It was later found out that Radar is preparing for Kiawah Marathon that he and others such as Purple Haze, Frazier, Soul Glow would be running. No comment on the Spackler banter, aside from his being the host and there for the drinks. A very important role by the way. Fellowship is important man!

Oh, last how could we forget the Grab a Rock. After YHC has been getting back into the workout groove so was quite taxed at hand off to Jamboree. My rock caught some attention. I really thought it was appropriate and was modified to mirror how I felt at the moment:
