3-Headed Prairie Dogs and Gambling Losses

8 pax mustered for another edition of Hydra. No SF. No Disclaimer. No Garlock lid. No problem.  We launched nonetheless.

Before we launched, Fireman Ed was quite curious as to who is on Q. #twitterworks   He said he had to adjust mentally before if he knows who’s Q’ing.  What?

YHC, hobbled by a groinoidal injury, asked SG if he would Q the majority of the workout, which he did and I just took COP and some Mary to finish up….so here’s what we did,  or something like it

The Thang:

Jog around back of school to basketball court (only non-cheese-grating pavement at Hydra) for COP

IW x 20 IC

H-R Merkin x 15 IC

Slow Squat  x 20 IC

Plank w/alternating leg lift x 10 IC

Flutter x 20 IC

CDD x 10 IC

Gloss now on Q

Run to HT (0.6ish miles) for the following

Triple Nickle across parking lot – Merkins & Squats

Partner up

P1 runs to HT entrance, P2 Merkins. Flapjack. 100 merkins combined.

P1 runs to HT entrance, P2 LBC’s. Flapjack. 250 LBC’s combined.

Run back to Hydra AO

10 pullups, 20 derkins, 30 dips at playground.

1/3’ish mile lap around school back to launch lot.

Mary:

Rosalita – one-legged x 10 IC

American Hammer x 13 IC

6-count burpee x 10 IC

Done

COT

Ye Olde Moleskine:

Some random observations.  Semi-Gloss (thanks for the substi-Q) led for about 33 of the 45 minutes.  Apparently, the last time he Q’d Hydra was about 33-35 minutes.  Problem with that was he was the only Q.

Gummy, in addition to his salty sarcasm and complaining, did a fair amount of standing around #refusenik

Purple Haze, who is getting back into the full flow of this 1st F stuff was pushing hard.  Kotters to Hydra brother.  And you were War Daddy.  Congratulations.

Jet Fuel was his normal silent-assassin self.

Marge was WB though when I asked him his age, he wasn’t sure if he was 33 or 34.  O2 deprivation? Clemson education?  Had to do it….during the partner work I was in a group with 3 Clemson grads….Clemson — where the N stands for Knowledge.

Fireman Ed repeatedly stated that he’s not a runner and then tried to correct my form on merkins….don’t think so brother.  He was pushing hard trying to drop some lb’s from the Tigers’ championship season.

Puddin’ Pop was his normal hospitable-self as site Q, mixing in random movie quotes #puregold and bathroom humor along with Fireman (see backblast title).  He also was comparing groin injuries with YHC….no show & tell…just tell thank God.

and Semi-Gloss….same steady, unflappable approach but different workout lid.  Where art thou Garlock?

Where were you Spackler, Deep Dish, Iron Horse & Queen?  It’s not that cold.

Announcements:

Fireman mentioned something about a 5K benefitting colon cancer research, but he didn’t seem so sure about running it himself, nor did he seem sure there was actually a 5K taking place.  Anyway, find him somewhere other than Twitter for details.

Great Q Hops!
Pretty good Q Semi-Gloss.

Pop the prairie dog was of the funniest things I have heard.

Get Your Rear In Gear is a great cause that I’ve been involved with since it’s inception. Most of the money raised stays local. And there will be an inflatable colon that one can crawl through – no further comments needed…

You only get out of it what you put into it. It is what you make it. To each their own. Crawl at your own risk…

Lest we forget Pop’s reference to Jackson Pollock, too. Hence my silence as I pondered that one for 35+ minutes. #modernartgonebad
