Well what started with “You guys with F3?” ended with four dudes doing 60 minutes of exercise off of an unplanned wienke. Fortunately for QIC it just required dusting off some cobwebs and taking full advantage of the AO that launches at Olde Providence Elementary.
The sixty-something degree weather was spectacularly welcome and the 4 pax (including 2 FNG’s) did something like this:
Note: A disclaimer was provided, no need for specific time of disclosure right, we will just say it happened. QIC was laying out an FNG-friendly dose of boot camp. (unlike the pain handout rumblings from the 30+ pax over at the Rock convergence)
Lap around OP track doing various running exercises (butt kickers, high knees, karaoke left, karaoke right)
Circle Up for Side Straddle Hops x 20, regular Merkins x 15, Mountain Climbers x 20, wide arm Merkins x 10
Mosey to School Wall for some Peoples Chair for one minute at 90 degrees, Arm Lifts x 20 (rinse & repeat)
Mosey to Snack bar for 30-20-10’s (30 dips, 20 step ups, 10 burpees) – rinse and repeat
Mosey to nicely marked football fields for some suicides and field work:
Mosey into the Forest to the outdoor classroom:
Mosey out of the Forest into Olde Provide Neighborhood (Foxworth St) for some Hydra Hill:
Indian Run down Windyrush back to Rea road, merkins x 20, mosey back to OP elementary
Circle up for Mary: (Protractor of varying degrees, Rosalita x 20, mason twist x 15)
1 Minute Plank to finish at 60 minutes
Count-o-rama: quick count to 4
Name-o-rama: quick go around with 2 FNG’s. Welcome to FNG’s Valet (Russell) and Berries (Dave). Valet set his key down by the track at the start of the work out and had to run to fetch his key. Naming complete. Berries answered the question “tell me about one of the first odd jobs you had growing up?” Picking strawberries and raspberries. Naming complete.
No Announcements other than PSA about weekly email that goes out and the Twitter handle for A51 for FNG’s benefit.
Ball-of-man for sendoff by QIC
It’s a wrap!
Moleskin: QIC arrived at the extremely empty parking lot missing the normal cast of characters. One car sat at the end of the lot with 3 guys looking around. Sha Na Na extended a greeting and informed he had brought a couple guys out with him. Great News I said wondering where the world everyone was at. I figured I missed some important communication on Twitter and there was some convergence under way at some AO in the Southland. Well to find out the details on why Sha Na Na happened to be at OP, you will have to ask him – or Dora. I’ve got nothing more than that.
Well it was about 30 seconds before 7 o’clock go time so I said, Sha Na Na I got Q if you are good with that. And there it was, we were off.
We had a great workout and were able to mumble chatter together in the gorgeous gloom that was Saturday morning. The FNG’s will be back for more. Sha Na Na, thanks for coming out and handing me Q reigns. Pele, honored to lead at your AO once again. And welcome to Valet and Berries. Great first showing and look to see you back for more.
QIC has been called out for pulling a rookie mistake by showing up to OP on convergence day. Fair enough. I even broke the 24-hour back blast rule. Now I just need to remember how to get these FNG emails and names into the system…
