3-13

Good group for a chilly morning. Decided to be super creative and use date as workout plan. Yog over to side of lowes for 3 exercises, 13 reps of each: HR merkins, big boys, and squats. Repat this at 2 more stops until we ended up near the Imdian restaurant. Break up into 3 teams, 2 teams work while 1 team does active rest. Teams 1 & 2 do 10 merkins while team 3 holds plank, then 2 & 3 merkins and 1 planks, then 1 & 3 merkin and 2 planks. 2 rounds of this. Then same sequence but big boys were the exercise and 6″ leg holds were the rest. 2 rounds of that. Then another 2 rounds with squats and Al Gores. Yog over to main parking lot. Everyone line up on curb for 15 merkins, 15 big boys, and 15 squats, then run 3 line suicide. 13 merkins, 13 big boys, 13 squats, 2 line suicide. 11 merkins, 11 big boys, 11 squats, run to far line and back. Circle up, PAX are doing shoulder taps while 2 do 5 merkins. Rotate merkins around the circle until everyone has done 2 sets. Next round was lunges and 3 burpees. Again go around until everyone did 2 sets of burpees. Back to the cars for a few minutes of Mary. Thanks for the opportunity <@U04M7P605SM>!

Brayden, but no loops

WARMUP:
THE THANG: suggested route was heading out Richard’s crossing to 160, right at the first entry to Brayden. Go all the way down the hill and turn left. That road loops through a section of neighborhood and heads back. Climb up the hill you just went down and head for home. 4.3 miles. Many pax did others things that only they have record of.

Is this minnow pond?

After an extended sabbatical from bootcamp—featuring a highlight reel of injuries and a little side quest called cancer— Cubbie decided it was my time to step back into the Q saddle. Turns out the saddle still fits… it’s just attached to a horse that appears to be rode hard and put away wet.

We opened with the disclaimer, which felt especially important given the current structural integrity of the Q. Then we moseyed to WEP for SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Broga, and Moroccan Night Clubs. Spirits were high, joints were cracking, and I immediately established the theme for the morning: “moderate expectations.”
One small administrative oversight: YHC completely forgot to count off the Pax at the beginning. So if you were there… congratulations and I hope you made it back at the end.

Round 1 – Park Loop Bench Tour
We took a lap around the park loop, stopping at each of the swinging benches for:
5 Merkins
5 Squats
This was a nice warmup and also allowed YHC to repeatedly evaluate whether my arms were still capable of pushing my body off the ground. Results were… inconclusive but promising.

Round 2 – Bear Crawl Pyramid of Poor Decisions
Then came the main event: a bear crawl ladder/pyramid situation

Pattern:
Bear crawl 10 yds → 10 Shoulder Taps
Add another 10 yd bear crawl → 20 American Hammers
Add another 10 yd bear crawl → 30 Flutter Kicks
Add another 10 yd bear crawl → 40 LBCs
Add another 10 yd bear crawl → 50 Penguin Heel Taps
Then we worked our way back down the ladder.
Between rounds we jogged back and SSH’d for the 6

Round 3 – Hill of Questionable Cadence
We moseyed back toward COT and stopped at the bottom of the steep hill.
Fast mosey up → 10 IC Mike Tyson’s
Faster mosey up → 8 IC Mike Tyson’s
All you got → 6 IC Mike Tyson’s
This is where things got exciting. Your Q attempted to call cadence for the Mike Tyson’s and demonstrated a bold new counting technique best described as “freestyle jazz cadence.”

The Pax handled it with grace and only minimal public ridicule was made by DOAH.

Return to COT
We wrapped with Nameorama, Announcements, and Prayers & Praises.

Despite a little rust, some questionable counting, and the physical strength of a medium-sized houseplant, it felt good to be back out there bootcamping with the Pax again. Grateful to still be able to show up, even if the Q sheet execution occasionally looked like it was written in crayon.

Thanks for the opportunity Cubbie
