Hooked on Counting

Hooked on Counting

For some reason YHC still tries to get to the site early on Q days. Not sure why since nothing has changed, but I did and still can’t beat Mr. Magoo. Not sure if he is living in his car or does intense stretching while in the driver’s seat, but I’m coming for you. Mermaid rolled up soon after and we started talking about how YHC stepped on a fishing hook while in the ocean 2 weeks ago. As I felt something attached to my toe but having no idea what it was, I reached down and grabbed and pulled whatever it was (the line) and, well, set the hook as any good fisherman would have done. As I sat in the Urgent Care 1 hour after arriving to the beach barefoot and in a puddle of ocean water and sand, I took some pretty gnarly pictures. YHC had hoped to start this BB with said picture, but apparently wingman and udder do not trust me enough to upload media. Picture coming to a COT near you.

The remaining veterans rolled up (Haze running in, see previous BBs for jokes), Brilleaux was on time, and a brief disclaimer was given, sufficient if you will, but haters gonna hate.

COP

Mosey to the Anvil Coliseum by the finest turf in A51 for COP.

• IW x 15 IC
• Mountain Climber x 14 IC
• Squats x 15?

The Thang

The Gummy named Anvil “patio” of concrete there at the entrance of the new building would be home base. We would run out across the parking lots, perform various exercises and back to the patio.

Round 1 – Triple Dime at the Fields, 10 Monkey Humpers at the bottom of the hill, 10 jump squats at the top. Ran back to patio and 10 merkins.

Round 2 – 30 step ups (15 each leg), 20 dips, 10 decline merkins at the hot box, 2 times through. Ran back to patio and 10 merkins and 20 LBCs.

Round 3 – Was supposed to be some core knee ups with feet in the swings, hanging leg lifts and pull ups but the playground was closed. So outside the fence we did 30 Freddie Mercury, 20 plankjacks. Ran back to patio and 10 merkins, 20 LBCs and 30 walking lunges.

Round 4 – 30 curls, 20 push press and 10 tricep extensions at the rock pile, 3 times through. Ran back to patio and 10 merkins, 20 LBCs, 30 walking lunges, and 40 squats.

Round 5 – 30 split squats (15 each leg), 20 dips, and 10 incline merkins at picnic tables, 3 times through. Ran back to launch for Mary.

Moleskin

I enjoy the workouts where the group stays together the whole time, allows for some good continued chatter. Except the chatter today focused on YHC’s counting. So I hard counted a 14 one time and a Triple Nickel is a 5 count, and maybe we even switched from LBCs to Freddie Mercurys in the middle of a count, just keeping the PAX on their toes. Although I think I did get an “atta boy” from Haze as I started with Imperial Walkers, so I got that going for me. Also some good Mermaid fishing conversations and I think Haze and Puddin were talking lowcountry towns at one point. At 39 years old, YHC took what I think is my first War Baby notation with King War Daddy Snuka still going strong.

The plan was to have a focus area at each station. Legs on the hill, shoulders/arms in the hot box, core in the playground and bicepts/arms with the rocks. The picnic tables were a bonus. But with the playground closed, other modifications, and squats and lunges added to the patio exercises, it ended up being more leg focused than I had intended. I feel that part today.

If I was allowed to post pictures and if I tracked my runs on Strava, I’m pretty sure the picture drawn would have resembled a hand, #funfacts. Maybe we’ll do that one again.

Weather was extremely humid and muggy. Someone said cooler days at ahead, but hard to believe at this point. That means today was a no-go on the Mr. Magoo yellow jacket.
