Language Barrier

Language Barrier

8 straggled in for this Saturday’s edition of #F3DayZero. It was advertised as leg day. Here’s what we did:

The Thang

Mosey to the #YellowRose parking lot for COP:

• IWs x 15 IC
• MCs x 9 IC (interrupted by the entrance of the garbage truck)
• Low Slow Squats x 15 IC

Due to lack of enthusiasm, we stopped there and ran down the Bevington loop to Brechin Hill for 7s. We did backwards runs on the evens.

• Jump Squats at the top
• Merkins at the bottom (not legs I know…but Bounce likes to stay swole)

Run back to McAlpine, entering through the back gate, and over to the rock pile for a lifting rock. Mosey to the baseline on the basketball court for some leg work.

• Squats x 15 IC
• Stop motion lunge walk to half court; sprint to opposite baseline and back
• Straight leg dead lift x 15 IC
• Stop motion backward lunge walk to half court; sprint to opposite baseline and back
• Side lunges x 5 each leg
• Stop motion lunge walk to half court (with rock this time); sprint to opposite baseline and back
• Romanian dead lifts x 5 each leg

Return rock and mosey to front of school. Partner up. Partner A do called exercise. Partner B run loop. Flapjack to reach reps # as a team.

• Left leg step-up bench squats x 100
• Right leg step-up bench squats x 100
• Left leg front squats x 50
• Right leg front squats x 50

A round of #DWTS x 10 each leg.

Mosey to the wall for some brief People’s Chair. Then parking lot sprints x 3. Done.

The Moleskine

For years now, the men of DZ have been trying to #BillyZane the elderly Asian gentleman that walks the track at McAlpine. Spackler had a serious go at it this morning, hitting him up once during the leg set at the basketball court and then again at the front of the school during the hot laps. The first time Spack was met with a courteous smile…but a dismissing wave. The second time, another smile…and then a reply…his English is not very good. Spack’s that is, not the Asian gentleman.

That was not the only language barrier out there this morning:

• The old man TR (age 52) trying to talk with Drago (age 19) about TR’s Jeep…disastrous.
• Bounce…no one understands him at all most of the time…although you are able to make out an expletive about every fifth word or so.
• Red Rocks is a quiet one though…just goes about his business, putting in solid work.
• Teddy lets his running do the talking…probably no barrier there…yep, you’re fast.
• McGee spent most the morning in the Qs ear…offering suggestions about how to make it harder. That one I understood…you suck Haze.

Key observation of the morning: Spack’s potion release brought forth a reference to Puddin’ Pop. Tiger Rag stated that Puddin’ Pop sounded like “green jello hitting a linoleum floor”.
