FNGs: none
Warm Up: EC for all
The Workout: took a lap of holly springs with all the hills.
wild turkey ran to the Qs house, then we ran from my house to womble, picked up fumunga from the bathroom following his EC and off we went.Â
route took us to cayman ave, a cut through to crossway, the almost all the way down crossway, with a brief detour on cliff creek. Stopped at TomTom’s house for some monkey humpers, same for Mr. Terrific. Crossed the street for some pickle pounder merkins at Wild Turkey’s house. That was the end of the ride for him, so fumunga and I carried on without our fearless site Q leader.Â
trip back to womble for COT. I needed to run home, and Fumunga needed more miles, so back down Stinson to my house. Door to door company for the Q today, what a treat.Â
Mary: Announcements: murph tomorrow at Herbert Akins

It was a delight to host this crew at UTurn, pulling 16PAX out of bed and into the misty morning. @Foot Fault @B-I-N-G-O @Yogurt @Bumblebee @Fumunga @Gator @Redenbacher @Dawgpound @Dumbo @Emeril @M4LIFE @McNugget @Wax Off @Bleeder @Pablo
Warmup: Squats, arm circles, squats, merkins. Followed by 10 burpees because M4L and Banana Seat were late. That’s right 5 per late PAX 🙂
Main event: Maximize the site features and celebrate the number 61.
First stop: Nice brick wall next to Hunt Center. We had six PAX, so we counted off 10 each x 6 for 60 plus 1 bonus. Three rounds of BTW and preacher’s chair. Why is it called preacher’s chair?
Next stop: Split rail fence behind Hunt Center. Three rounds of arm/shoulder work: Erkins alternating with derkins. For each round of derkins, we placed our feet on an different rung of the fence.
Next stop: Front corner of parking lots for leg work: Squats and lunges and Turkish getups.
Next stop: The grassy hill behind the Hunt Center. At least three rounds with multiple exercises at top and bottom. Squats, merkins, leg swings, erkins, derkins, etc.
Ended this tour with lunge walks up the wooden steps.
Mary: Just enough time for everyone to choose their favorite “worst” exercise. Banana Seat – monkey humpers. Midget – absolutions. PST – burpees. Shooting Blanks – heel taps. Best in Show – side plank hip raise. Yogurt – American hammers.
My pleasure and HONOR to lead.
Note: This year’s photo plus 2022 BDay Q Cletus. Both taken with the same iPhone 8 🙂
We kicked off with a 10‑minute alternating OTM grinder, because nothing says “good morning” like trying to cram 40 air squats into 40 seconds while pretending your legs aren’t already on fire.
Then we rolled straight into a 10‑minute AMRAP
     81 walking lunges (yes, eighty‑one… because 80 wasn’t spicy enough)
PAX moved, PAX groaned, PAX bonded through mutual suffering. Classic Cletus.
FNG: None

Workout:
We moseyed to the front of the school. YHC counted 20 poles holding up the awning. I came up with a routine a few years back that I call a crab boil. We started at the first pole and crab walked 5 poles. At the 5th pole we did 10 crab cakes in cadence. Then we crab walked another 5 poles and did 10 crab humpers. Another 5 poles were crab walked where we then did 10 crab jacks. We crab walked the next 5 poles and were done.
After that we did something I call a typewriter. We all got on a length of curb and held plank on the curb. We did one irkin and then the last person in the line moved in some fashion (bear crawl, duck walk, etc.) to the other side of the line. Once there we did another irkin and the next person went. We did this all the way to the end where then, like a typewriter, we had to go back. We mixed it up on the way back though and did fast feet on the curb while one PAX moved and did 5 calf raises when they got to their spot.
After this YHC called for crab boil leftovers. It was the same as before just not as much. We only used 10 poles and stopped every two.
After that we moved to a patch of grass for the sake of our knees and got to work on a set of Jack Webb with a 4:1 ratio of air presses to merkins. This was a bad idea. Woody and I both got mad at Nemo while we watched him never take a break during the course of the 220 air presses we did.
I had more planned but time was running short so we went in to…
Mary:
We started with an LBC circuit. 10x IC each of regular LBC, reverse LBC, and oblique LBC on each side.
Sleeping Hillbilies x10 IC
American Hammers x10 IC
Pickle Pounders x10 IC
Monkey Humperx x10 IC (I couldn’t remember the name pickle pounder and kept wanting to say monkey humper so we did monkey humpers)
An honor to lead these men this morning. I can’t get anything off a shelf in the cupboard today but that’s ok.
