Davie Park looks magical in the moonlight

Davie Park looks magical in the moonlight

17 men arose from their slumber and met under the bright moon to push themselves past the moderate mark.  Armed with my iphone in Big Top’s exercise sleeve which was around my left bicep and tucked safely into my armpit (I returned it unwashed) I recited a full and thorough disclaimer that would make Young Love proud and we jumped right in.

COP:

Lap around the Parking lot, circle up

Side Straddle Hops x 15 (Keeping it low base on some recent theories being floated about the relationship between SSH and Plantar Fasciitis)

Imperial Walkers x 20

Low Slow Squat x 20 (As usual this was neither very slow or low, but it was noted that my pivot foot remained planted even when Gummy tried to provoke me to travel).

Mosey to Davey Park:

Stop two or three times on 51 to keep the pax together: Merkins, Dolly, Planorama etc.

Once arrived jump into the peoples chair, right leg up, left leg up, arms out, drop it 6 inches (AKA Shorty got low)

Head to the Playground for some circuits:

Circuit 1: 5 Pull-ups (regular or supine), 10 Merkins, 20 Squats then run a lap around the parking lot.

Mary to gather the pax: Flutter until everyone is in.

Circuit 2: Repeat #1

Mary to gather the pax: Dolly until everyone is in.

Circuit 3: 10 Jump ups, 15 merkins, 20 Squats.

Mary to gather the pax: Freddie Mercury until everyone is in.

Circuit 4: Repeat #3.

Head back to SCMS:

When leaving take a dip under the chains blocking the park just because…some refuseniked, some hit their heads, all in all good fun.

5 burpees for those in front of the Q, turned in to everyone doing 5 Burpees #ActOfSolidarity

Mosey down the sidewalk, circling back to pick up the 6 2x.

When back in SCMS parking lot:

Line up at end of lot, AYG to last light pole.

Circle up.

BT leads us in one round of Mary…LBC’s with many forms of counting (English, silent, backwards, german, Spanish and then finished with an abrupt stop).

Finish off with 5 burpees OYO for good measure.

The Moderate Moleskine:

Pop Quiz: This workout was inspired by:

A. Mayweather vs Pacquiao

B. Game 7 of Spurs Vs. Clippers

C. The Kentucky Derby

D. My first F3 workout a little over a year ago.

D is correct, but in retrospect it could have been all of the above.  Fireman Ed led that day and was there today.  Thankful for the past year and that I wasn’t as loopy at the end of this one.  (Other FNG’s from that cold rainy morning: Big Top, Bushwood and Clunken all still at it…some more than others. Clunken had an alarm fail this morn).

-Great work from Dam(n) Gina and 4 Corners on their second post each.  This was a tough one (about 2.5 miles) and you guys did great.  4 Corners, a young buck from our church, even bested me and most others on the final sprint.  Keep posting!

-Big Top, Steinbrenner, Gummy and Udder were out front most of the morning, way to push it guys!  Steinbrenner who is normally quite grumpy was even smiling, it was eerie (Werewolf? Professor Lupin?).

-It is good to have Gummy back.  It appears he is getting his speed back, and it is also clear that his mouth hasn’t missed a step.  There was some contemplation concerning where all that mumblechatter went while he was on the bench.  If it came home we are sorry M-Gummy, and we get why you made him go to some workouts to ride a bike.

-It was Cheesecurd’s first time at Base Camp, I hope it was a good one, which seems likely based on the fact you forgot your name in COT (Cheesecurder….Def: One who curds cheese???).

-Kotters to Dunder and Venus, Venus is moving, Dunder is not, you both should keep posting.

Announcements:

-Red Light and Blue…Moderate Ruck coming up.  See Udder or Dora.

-If you have not gotten one then invest in a Road ID.  That case if something happens we don’t have to say, I am not sure what his name is he goes by ____. Check out the options here: www.roadid.com

It’s a pleasure to lead such a great group of men.  Thanks to Fireman Ed and Passport for the opportunity.
