As we were waiting for the clock to strike 5:30 our little circle kept getting big as Pax continued to arrive. This prompted Gump to ask “Are we playing ultimate today?” because we ended up having 19 Pax come out to the gloom at Mutiny, with 4 doing EC, and with that we started with a lap around the track.

 

EC: LED, Fonzie, H1N1, Messi

PAX: Potts, Modify, LED, Fonzie, H1N1, Messi, Slimer, Noah’s Ark, Gump, FedEx, 16-Bit, Yosemite, Finkle, Snip, Norm, Dauber, R-22, Cha Ching, Venkman

FNGs: None

Warm Up: SSH x 25, Fozie Arm Circles F x 10 R x 10, Imperial Walkers x 10, Punch Up Merkins IC x 20

The Workout: Lined up across the parking lot to do  break dancers and bear crawls. Started at the first line with 1 break dancer and then bear crawl to the first line then crawl bear back to start, then do 2 break dancers and bear crawl to the second line then crawl bear back to start, etc….. Went up to 5.     We then moysed over to the rock pile to pick an exercise friendly rock. Had the Pax line up on the field for 7 exercise circuits, 10 circuits starting with 10 reps IC with each circuit decreasing by one rep and you couldn’t drop your rock until we all got through the circuit or we’d all be doing 5 burpees OYO. Needless to say one person, not saying any names, kept dropping his rock. The exercises were curls for the girls, shoulder press, tricep extension, rut rows, squats, upright rows, and chest press.

Mary: 6 in hold, low slow flutter, 45 degree hold, windshield wipers, 90 degree hold, heels to heaven, heel taps, Homer to Marge, chiseled cut, Pickle Pounders, HAND

I was excited to be back from vacation and getting to Q Mutiny on a somewhat less humid morning.  When I pulled into the parking lot I was surprised to see a good number of vehicles already parked, I was assuming that LED’s post of an earlier start time and more miles for EC got some Pax out of bed, but I soon realized that some of the vehicles belonged to some early birds working the track. Sadly they were not F3 and I was thinking that maybe we’d be our regular group of 6-8 but as 5:30 approached more cars started to pull in for a total of 14 Pax and, since I didn’t put up a pre blast, at 5:29 Banana Seat yells out “ Who’s Q-ing this thing?” I step forward and circle everyone up for warm up.

Warm Up: SSH, Cherry Pickers, Fozie Arms Circles, Stretches, Lap around the track

The Workout: Told the Pax to partner up, P1 had to go to rock pile to pick a rock while P2 did squat hold. Decided to do a Diego, which is like a Dora but just a harder.  The exercises consisted of 100 merkins, 150 overhead press with rock, 200 LBC, 250 curls for the girls with the rock and 300 squats with the rock. After picking up the 6 and returning the rocks we moseyed over to the tennis courts for some suicides which consisted of bear crawl to end of first court to do 5 burpees and then crawl bear back, then sprint to the end of second court do 5 burpees and run backwards back.

Mary: American Hammers, Homer to Marge, LBC, Pickle Pounders, etc……
