If you got it, flaunt it at Ascent

If you got it, flaunt it at Ascent

So the bugeater mobile came in hot on 2 wheels after its long approximately 10 block journey to the turf at Olde Providence Elementary school. When the smoke settled and the crew were rest assured that their Q had arrived to lead them, 9 pax began what would be a most memorable hour that went something like this:

Warm Up Lap on Track (high knees, butt-kickers)

Skywalker mumbled

Circle Up: SSHx25, DISCLAIMER PROVIDED, MCx20, Merkinsx15

Skywalker chattered

Mosey to Playground and partner up: 2 rounds of Situpsx25(partner plank on feet), partner assisted pullupsx10

Skywalker told a joke (at least he thought it was funny)

Mosey to Concessions: 2 rounds of 30/20/10s (30 dips, 20 jump ups/step ups, 10 burpees) – plank while wait

Skywalker talked some more

Mosey to football fields: Karaoke Left 50 yards, Karaoke Right 50 yards

Skywalker said this

Merkin Ladder: There and Backs: Run 20 yards there, 10 Merkins, Run 20 yards back, 9 Merkins…down to 1

Skywalker said that

On Six for some core: Freddy Mercury x 25, Protractor of various degrees for 2 minutes

Somebody else actually said something before Skywalker did

1/2 mile Mosey to and through Forest of OP

Skywalker made some mention of man breasts (thus appropriately named title of this back blast)

Up and Over Benches x 8 with Carolina Dry Dockx10  at each end (3 rounds)

Skywalker discussed the legalities of real estate and how it really is not legal to re-enter a home even though you once owned it as this is NOT Nebraska and QIC’s idea of entering old home to drink OJ from fridge would be technically breaking and entering. Geez. We ain’t in Nebraska any more!

Mosey to Olde Providence Foxworth and Queensberry for Top and Bottom work. Heels to Heaven x 20 (Bottom) return to top for Dollyx10 (2 rounds)

Skywalker conversed

1/4 mile American Line Run back to forest entrance, Merkins x 10

Mosey through forest and back to Parking Lot

At request of Skywalker as his idea of best use of remaining 30 seconds, Burpees x 10

Count-o-rama: 1,2,3..9

Name-o-rama

Ball of Man – take out by who would you think? Skywalker indeed. Actually very solid prayer and words Skywalker, great words for this big Easter weekend.

Moleskin:

We traveled most parts of the terrain offered up at OP. The pax were lively and ready for a packed hour. About 40 minutes in we informed it was a 2 hour workout. There was immediate mumble chatter, refusenik speak, and talks of mutiny began to rise through the ranks. After listening to reason, and wanting to live, QIC pulled the idea back and settled back down to the normal one hour format. I would not want management to get a phone call as I may lose my QIC job.

Great to see Strange Brew as he claimed we had not done a workout together for a long time. Part because there are so many A51 workouts and part because I have been a lazy, no good, pax with claims of hurt back, stomach bugs, pink eye, bulging disc, IT band (oh that’s Mall cops excuse), crooked eye, gimp, hang nail, nipple reduction surgery. Anyhow, all excuses aside because High Tide just wasn’t having it and said “Bugeater you will show up and Q Ascent or else I will make you golf with me at the F3 Golf tournament in April.”

63-year old War daddy New Trick was amazing out there. Some modifications but dude rocked the pull ups and showed off some great fitness. Also Blue Bomber showed true grit and determination. FNG last week and 3 workouts this week and the man is as motivated guy you will meet. He is also an executive recruiter so bring your resumes fellas. Sid the Kid informed this was as much running as he has done in a long, long time. He also troopered along and we as one pax, started and finished together. “Easy in the front” said QIC, “this is a moderate intensity workout”. Its hard to hold Swiss Miss and Strange Brew back, they are like stallions.

Last is there any statute on renames. I really don’t like having to call Tootie, “Tootie”. It just is not manly to say, little own have to carry it along with you to every workout. Perhaps we can inquire the the grand poobahs of F3, or at least we can call Tiger Rag.

Anyhow, this moleskin better find its ending. My fingers hurt. The after party at Starbucks found Spackler looking about as bad as I have ever seen him, which is not saying too much. Looks like he literally just came from a party. What social circles do you run in Spack?

Thanks Brew and High Tide for the opportunity to lead this motley crew today. It was about as much fun to start a weekend as a guy can have at 7 AM Saturday morning.

Announcements:

Prayers for Zip

Convergence next Saturday April 11, 2015 at Olde Providence – 7-8 AM all Saturday sites (due to Mud Run) Swiss Miss one of the Q’s
