What does a USB Cable, 6-count burpees, and Tartarus have in common?

What does a USB Cable, 6-count burpees, and Tartarus have in common?

We need the Centurion SF Escargot.  But, alas we settled for the VSF and launched into the gloom with WB Dear Abby flying in late to stake claim to LIFO title…actually he was about the last out…but I digress…except to say further that Scabby was not the first out either…which YHC appreciated.

Anyhow, here’s what the 18 men did….or something like it anyway.

The Thang & Ye Olde Moleskine:

Run around the football stadium and over to Tartarus (is that what we call the parking deck?).

Up the stairs to top level for COP.

COP:

Rockhopper x 20 IC (dusted this one off, demo warranted)

IW x 20 IC (appropriate for all ages, no age-appropriate modification warranted/allowed)

Squat x 20 IC

Flutter x 20 IC

Get in teams of 3 for some grinders.

Partner 1 – H-R merkins, Partner 2 runs length of Tartarus, down the stairs where Partner 3 also does H-R Merkins, upon Partner 2’s arrival, Partner 3 then runs length of Tartarus on ground level, up the stairs to Partner 1….so on, so on, etc, etc

We changed up the exercises with burpees, jump squats and LBCs.

The pax seemed confused with YHC’s instructions.  Q fail?  Probably and Scabby made sure YHC was aware of that sentiment.  I’m just glad he didn’t bail, would have hurt my feelings.  Chelms agreed with Q failure and also exclaimed – “This is going to be a lot of H-R merkins” #mumblechatter  H-R merkins are great for ensuring good form, right Chelms?

So we got through the grinders and jogged over to a lot adjacent to Tartarus.

We partnered up for the following:

Handslap merkins x 13

Prairie Fire Mary x 13R, 13C, 13L – this is a great exercise if done properly.  Hell hath no fury like a prairie fire.  My partner Chelms chose an age-appropriate modification on this one.

Jog over to the main school entrance for 2 rounds of:

Partner 1 does derkins on bench while Partner 2 bear crawls up the ramp and then crab walks to the steps. Flapjack.

Jog to the road leading to the Little Avenue entrance

Lined up for some sprint work, but another Q failure as cars were arriving for school – so after 1 sprint we mosed to the launch lot for 6MoM

Knee-up x 13 IC

American Hammer x 13 IC

CDD x 13 IC

SSH x 20 IC

Protractor with pax calling out random degrees – personal favorites were 98 and 60.

6-count burpee x 13IC

We’re done.

COT with takeout prayer from the oft-mentioned Chelms

So some other observations before we get to the announcements:

• Dear Abby really is freakish on bear crawls
• I hate SSH’s but pretty sure I heard Frasier call them, so considering I was ad-libbing at that point anyway – we did 20 of them…yet another Q fail
• T-claps for pax that ran in – Bout Time & Cane…Scabby?  Again, glad you didn’t run out prior to 6:15.
• T-claps also to the pre-run crew of Abacus, Chelms, Jamboree, Frasier, Margo…maybe missing one or two?
• Paper Jam, Utah & Pulp Fiction will be Q’ing their 1st workout very soon at an AO near you
• Interesting start to the morning before we launched as some young man who looked to be high school age came up & asked if any one dropped a USB cable #oddquestion  Chelms deftly handled the situation saying he’d give the cable to his son to put in the CCHS Lost & Found and also parlayed the exchange into an attempted EH.  The young man eluded the headlock….for now, saying he already worked out.  Yeah right….lots of used to say that.
• Not YHC’s finest Q, but hope it was worth the forsaketh of the fartsack

Announcements:

• Joe Davis Memorial Resolution Run – Tomorrow – 5K & 10K options; clowncar caravan leaves from ABC Arboretum – be there at 0630
• New Saturday workout launching next Saturday, January 16 – Blakeney Shopping Center, meet at the main fountain, playground/lawn area right off Rea Road.  Tuck is your host, which is to say Site Q
