Google Earth don’t lie

Google Earth don’t lie

YHC has been to Dromedary once for the kickoff. M’s schedule makes it almost impossible on Wednesdays except for this particular Wednesday. So why not Q it. Except I didn’t know the AO so Google Earth was studied and that should have made all the pax feel really great about the quality of their Q. Off we go…

The Thang
Mosey to side of the parking lot

COP
SSH IC x50
IW IC x20

Mosey to field beside middle school and bus lot.
Some cadenced exercise (think 3 count down squats) until all the pax gathered.

Wheelbarrow across the field from soccer goal to soccer goal. Plank when finished
Merkin Wheelbarrow back across the field. Basically, when your partner grabs your legs, do 5 merkins (essentially decline) and then start wheelbarrowing across. Some of the grunts seem to indicate the popularity of this was soaring. More to come…. Plank when finished

Mosey to the bus lot and it’s simply glorious to see that many buses lined up just enticing YHC. We should run them.
Cheese Weave for infinity buses it seemed like.

Mosey to the wall for People’s Chair with Air Presses x 100

Mosey to the lot beside the middle school with a loop around the outside.
Run the loop one way and partner run it the other way and when you meet, 10 handslap merkins
Run until you and your partner meet 3 times.
Some cadenced exercise (think SSH) till everyone gathers.

Mosey along the back road with the intention of going to another soccer field. Bratwurst saved me from what would have been angry heckling by the pax by having us go between the tennis courts instead of the swamp I was about to take them through. Appreciate it brother!

The relief to not get bogged down in mud is short lived as apparently the field we were going to doesn’t drain. At all. No need to thank me for your wet feet.
Now that we are unhappy, merkin wheelbarrows long ways across the field. It was long and probably unnecessary.
Some cadenced exercise until all have gathered (have no idea what it was)

Mosey to the roundabout
Increasing pace run using the buildings until you go full out sprint after building #3 to the speed bump.
Plank exercises until all have gathered

Mosey to the building. Oops, there is a ramp on the side of that building. To which Bratwurst gave a classic ‘Did Google Earth show you that?’ No brother. No it did not. #googleearthfail

Mosey to the other building then. #notdeterred
Then a combo of People’s Chair with Air Presses followed immediately by Donkey Kicks.
Round 1) 50 Air Presses, 20 Donkey Kicks. Round 2) 75 Air Presses, 25 Donkey Kicks. Round 3) 100 Air Presses, 30 Donkey Kicks

Mosey back to the lot where the cars are located.

First off, thanks for letting me come out and Q. It’s great to continue to put faces with names.
Great work by all the pax. I tend to run a lot when I Q. I had thought this would be less running but then I saw the buses all lined up just mocking me. Then I saw that parking lot loop was really enticing. I gave into temptation. I had planned for a few merkin wheelbarrow trips across the long soccer field but my inability to say no to perfect running spaces was just too much to overcome.
Thanks to Silicon for keeping time for me. I sort of need one of those watch thingys.
Sorry if your shoes are now muddy. I really had no idea the soccer field drained so poorly. And I don’t think Google Earth has a drain field filter I could use. But appreciate you guys following your clueless Q with only minimal heckling.
I think a few pax were concerned about how far away we were from the cars with how little time there was remaining but increasing pace runs make up distance quickly. Things learned at #F3Thrive.
Hit rain on the way to MH. Hit rain leaving MH. Just got humidity while at MH. Pretty sure F3 has some sort of rain agreement with Cantore during workouts. It’s never as bad as we think it will be so never fartsack because of predicted weather.
In theory, I guess I should have shut down the workout with distant lightening. Instead I took you on a run through infinity number of buses made of metal. At least I joked about it though some nervous laughter indicated it probably wasn’t the best of timing for that joke.
Guys, step up and Q if you’ve been coming for a while. Q what you can do and you’ll be fine. The heckling may get you to do a Dolly IC x50. That tends to hush the crowd other than Turnpike picking on my squeaky cadence.
Thanks for the opportunity and hope it didn’t disappoint.
