A birthday Toast

A birthday Toast

Big thanks to Shampoodle for taking the Q for warm-ups . . . Oh wait, he isn’t here?  Ok, I guess I’ll take the warm-up too.  I started the music, got scolded by Transporter for starting 1 second late (according to his watch), and then proceeded to get scolded by the rest of the PAX for my music selection.

Quick Mosy, grab the late sleeper Doc, and then circle up for COP for some IC exercises

SSH x 12

Merkins x 12

MC x 12

IW x 12

SSH x 12

Birthday Burpees x 12 OYO (for Toast)

THE THANG

Start to Mosy to field behind school, however, we didn’t take the normal transportation:

Frog Jumps x 12

Lunges x 12

1-Legged alternating jumps x 12

Repeato until you reach 3rd light.   Some plank work waiting for PAX along with some J-Lo’s “in rhythm.”

Mosy to bottom of hill at the upper field.  Explain the new “12s” routine (a twist on “11s” where exercises at top and bottom of hill add up to 12 with running across field for 12 jump squats each lap)

Bottom of hill:  WW2 sit-ups

Top of hill:  Burpees

A couple reps in, I’m thinking PAX are really starting to dig my music since they are quiet but then LOTS of complaints and whiny questions about “are we really going to 12?”

Stopped at 6 and 6 AS PLANNED.  Mosy to stairs at CHS for some partner work.  Mary while we wait for PAX.  YHC had counting issues as Dasher thought Toast was having his Sweet Sixteen.

P1:  Merkins AMRAP

P2:  Run up the stairs x 2

Flapjack . . . Repeato x 3 for total of 12 stairs

Mosey back to front wall of CMS for long WAVE of People’s Chair w/Air Presses IC and 1 merkin for each.  Lots of looking down the wall waiting for Dirty Bird to bring it home with final Merkin.  Nice work.

Mosy to main entrance.  Curb suicides x 5.  Jail Break to start for Mary.

Flutters x 12

Dolly x 12

Heals to Heaven x 12

Rosalita x Doce

Finished . . . 23 seconds early according to Transporter and his magic watch.

MOLESKINE

An #Impromptu RECORD 24 PAX.  Outside of that, the next biggest highlight had to be the hugely successful musical score.  Almost unanimous decision with 4 out of 24 PAX liking the music.

Lots of complaining today; must either be the end of Summer “kids need to go back to school” blues or the very real possibility that the Weinke/Music really irritated the PAX (insert rye smile).  Either way, a great way to solve both of those issues is to sign up for a Q yourself.  Plenty of openings for #Flash (Mondays) and #Impromptu (Fridays).   Step it up and payback some of the beat downs you have received.

Lots of announcements and idle chatter after COT.  See below for more details.   Apparently Popeye is looking for a roommate (not that there’s anything wrong with that).  Thanks for celebrating Toast’s birthday.  Apologies for short-changing you 24 seconds . . . Was going to end with 12 more birthday Burpees too.

Thanks to Transporter for taking us out . . . In 24 seconds exactly if I had to guess.
