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.

Neighbors New and Old
/in Nutcracker/by UTII texted ahead to Flanigan the night before. I didn’t want to just assume that I had the Q, not sure if one of the regulars had called dibs. He said it was all mine.
I parked in the lot a little earlier than I might have normally. I’m the Q, I had to cross the U-Turns, I wasnt sure if we still “planted the flag” in the same place (I forgot to ask).
Also a little early, Flanigan arrived by bike and parked in the school’s bike stand. Cornholio, Blue Hen, and Shooting Blanks followed. Shooting Blanks caught my tag from the night before as he was headed to Purple Cobra, came to meet some of his new neighors instead. He was going to be late to Purple Cobra anyway 😀
It was great to see the Nutcracker Q and catch up a bit as we went throught the workout. Awsome time PAX!

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.
