Q swaps are fun — especially when the only 2 Pax who are aware of the swap are the Site Q’s. Sensei and I planned a Q swap to keep things interesting with the Sparta run and the Peak51 boot camp. What was especially fun is when the 7 other Pax that showed up on Thursday for the boot camp found out the Site Q for the running workout was on the lead. I’m pretty sure I heard a few grumbles about needing to change shoes. Regardless, we had a FNG and an out of town guest to show off for, so after the disclaimer, we took off like we were shot out of a cannon. Here’s what our 2 guests (and the 6 vets) got to experience.
Mosey to Ming Fu for COP
Mosey to Plantation Animal Hospital. Grab 2 rocks & perform the following exercise OYO.
Repeato 3X
Mosey to Matthews Elem picnic tables stopping approx halfway there for impromptu Monkey Humpers while the 6 catches up
Mosey to basketball goals in bus lot
Pax planks around the 3 point arc while taking turns shooting 1 free throw one at a time. Each made FT reduces # of reps
Mosey back to launch for COT stopping at the FBC parking lot for a Hand Slap Merkin ladder and again at the intersection of John & Trade Streets for Freddie Mercuries while waiting on the light.
Arrive at 6:15:30 for COT with Sparta
Moleskin
It was nice to see so many new(-ish) faces out Thursday AM. TClaps to Spammer for bringing his 2.0 (now known as Catfish) and to Blue Oyster for posting while in town on business from Greensboro. Everyone put in a solid effort this morning and found a few new coupons to incorporate into their next Q. We should contact Carolina Courts to inquire about starting a basketball league for guys who have jelly arms and smoked shoulders due to doing several minutes of planks and dozens of Merkins, Dips & Burpees. I’m sure they could charge admission and bill it as a comedy show. The more shots we took, the worse they got. My unscientific poll reported that approx 60% of the shots were airballs. The Hand Slap Merkin Ladder was a crowd favorite and a Q fail since we did it in the midst of the loose gravel. We had fun. We got some exercise. And we’re all better for it.
It was a pleasure to lead. Thanks Sensei!
