A fine line between encouraging and egging

I wasn’t sure I was at the right place this morning, when I saw High Tide’s empty jeep in the parking lot.  Surely he wasn’t out with Fletch for a pre-run.  Turns out he was.  Definitely time for him to turn in his “0.0” sticker.  Today was not Meathead-friendly – or MAF-friendly either.  Here’s why:

Disclaimer

Mosey around driveway to spirit rock and back to start.

8-count manmaker – 10IC
LSS – 20IC
Viking Salute – demonstration

On to the Main Thang:
Mosey to start of the ‘round-the-church loop for farmer-carry CMIYC.  Run to buses.  Chasing partner does two 8-count manmakers.  Plankorama until 6 arrives.

Grinders: Partner up into groups of 3.  P1 runs to new building side of parking lot and starts body-weight exercise while P2 and P3 plank.  Once P1 at the far end, P2 takes off and P3 does KB exercise.

Bodyweight exercise: Peter Parker, Wide-arm Merkins, Diamond Merkins, Nippler, repeato

Moleskin:
Good to have Horse Head’s chatter (he doesn’t mumble – it’s loud enough for all to hear), even if it starts within seconds of the first COP exercise.  Sounded like he thought the cadence was a bit fast.  My apologies to the longer-limbed guys who can’t swing you’re your four-foot arms as fast as I can for SSH.  #hummingbird

Loved the encouragement during the grinders, most notably Witch Doctor, who hollered (#southernism) to Stone Cold every time he was about half way through his run.

I’m sure there was more choice bits of mumblechatter, but can’t recall due to shoddy (#britism) memory and O2 deprivation, so sound off if you heard one.  Also, I’m not sure who won the race by finishing all exercises for the full team first, so comment if you think you won or know who did.

Thanks for scheduling me to Q, Harley.  Not sure how long it’s been, but too long for sure.

Man oh man, I have missed Skunkworks. Good to be back.

Fletch pretty much always wins the Race.

Solid work out there Swiss Miss. Great pace, always fun with KBs.

High Tide

Good variety, SM.

Just noticed that I was WD today… #old

Pre-run with Fletch is generous. Rather, I tried to hang with him and Stone Cold over the last .6 mile as they blew past me. #gasping

I may be mistaken, but I believe the exercises Horsehead was doing at the other end were:
– rabid coon dog
– swollen possum stance
– riding lawnmower pose
– gassy grasshopper
– farting

Speaking of, see you all at Gumby tomorrow to work out what ails you!
