Chicken Little – F3 South Wake

QSWAP DAY 5: UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….

January 10, 2020/in AO Post /QIC: UTI
PAX: 187, Banana Seat, Bedpan, Chicken Little, Disco Duck, Frisco, Full House, Hamm, HoneyComb, Lipstick, Lucky Charms, Lucky Charms (Carpex), M4L, Meat Loaf, Pet Sounds, Pikachu, Schlitz, Sega, Shut In, Side Out, Silver Fox, Skidmark, Term Paper, The Commish, The Joker, Theismann, Triple Lindy, UTI, vanilla, Wahoo, Warbucks, Yogurt

A pre-blast was sent to Carpex and South Wake looking for support for the to-be Q at Dazed and Confused. With the numbers that these two regions have the potential to bring, YHC thought this was an appropriate time to swallow his pride and make the request for a name change. I know… I know… I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me! But if there was ever a time to get the votes I needed, it would be today. And hey, I’ve heard some of the mumblechatter about South Wake naming. Peeping Tom’s name got shortened to PT when he moved to Carpex – Carpex will be sympathetic to my plight…. right?

1000 HCs were requested, the votes came in…

Carpex –

10 HCs
4 Laughed with me (I think)
1 SC
2 “Peeing” emoji – inappropriate!!! EXACTLY THE SORT OF THING I’M TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM!!! Calm… Calm…
1 “No Entry” emoji – I assume this just means no, I’m not trying to enter anything… Minds in the gutter in this region…

SouthWake

8-ish HCs
A whole bunch of protests – “We Love You UTI… Never change..” stuff like that
A threat that I would be “Getting an English Ripping” – Australians… Am I right?

As 187 commented on the pre-blast, “UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….”

***I had no intention of changing my name. Do we even have 1000 PAX between our 2 regions? If 1000 had HC’d or shown up I might have had to change my name… I mean that would be some vote! This exercise was for fun and a mockery of those posts you often see out on the social medias. I scouted the FB pages of some of my elderly relatives for research and treaded lightly around the ones that focus on serious illnesses. This was my inspiration 😀

EC: Warbucks, Full House, The Joker, 187, Skidmark, Lipstick, Pikachu

Groups 1, 2, and 3 cycled through this rotation until all 3 groups completed 10 climbs up the stairs

*Flaw in the structure of this, should have created groups of 3 and had them split up into 3 stations, continuing the rotation as a team of 3. T-claps to Shut-In and other PAX that started calling out group numbers as they got to their new stations to help keep everyone moving. Lesson learned for next time 😀

Abe Gets Hot for Teacher

January 9, 2020/in AO Post /QIC: Abe
PAX: Abe, Bambi, Banana Seat, Bobby Boucher, Cataracts, Chicken Little, Crimson, Disco Duck, ezikle, ham, Hanson, headroom, Liverpool, M4L, Ma Bell, mowhawk, ox tail, petsounds, Pikachu, queequeg, QWERTY, Red Ryder, Revere, Short Circuit, Shut In, Skidmark, Slappy, Term Paper, Theismann, Track Star, Traffic cone, Two Factor, UTI, vanilla, Wahoo, Warbucks, WWW

YHC rolled up to the spot rarin’ to go. So much so that YHC locked his keys in his car. Doh! Oh well, F3 starts on time and ends on time, so let’s go!

FNGs: none (I’m pretty sure)
Warm Up: Ran down to Kelly Rd Park, circled up in the parking lot for:
SSH x 25 / Imperial Walkers x 10 / Hill Billies x 10 / Windmills x 10 / Good Mornings x 10
The Workout: Planned on using the baseball diamond for 7 of Diamonds, but Cataracts informed me that the field is probably closed. Modify as needed, so we did 7 of Diamonds around the parking lot. It went a little something like this:
Round 1: 7 Shoulder Taps at each corner, bear crawl on the long stretch, crab walk on the short stretch
Round 2: 14 Pistol Squats at each corner (7R/7L), lunge walk on the long stretch, frong jump on the short stretch
Round 3: 21 Merkins at each corner, lunge walk long stretch, bear crawl short stretch
Round 4: Copperhead Squat at each corner, lunge walks all around
This ate up most of our time, so we moseyed back to start.
Mary: YHC called a plank hold while waiting for the 6. It was apparent that we might be waiting awhile, so an audible for more Merkins was called. Ended up with 3 sets of 10.
Once the 6 was in:
American Hammers x 10
WWIIs (in cadence, ended up with 20)
LBCs x 10
Homer 2 Marge (SW style) x 10
Announcements: Ruck, CPR
T-Claps (Recognition): Slapps for buying me some post-game java.
Prayer: Kingsley for recovery from illness, Yahoo for travel abroad / adoption, praise for Queequeg promotion

Thank you Carpax HIMs for giving me the opportunity to spend some quality gloom time with you. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Q-Swap Week – Disturbing the Peace

January 7, 2020/in Convergence /QIC: Warbucks
PAX: 16 Steves, 187, Banana Seat, Bartman, Beef Cake, Bobby Boucher, Burt, Cataracts, Chicken Little, Coney, Crimson, Dawgpound, Earhart, Emeril, Full House, Hamm, Hanson, Imp, Kosher, Lipstick, QWERTY, Redenbacher, Revere, Schlitz, Short Circuit, Silver Fox, Slide Rule, Sour Mash, Term Paper, The Joker, Track Star, Traffic cone, Triple Lindy, UTI, Viking, Wahoo, Warbucks, Wiggly

YHC hasn’t Q’d in a while and was eager to knock the dust off for Q-Swap. A workout was planned to handle a large crowd and to minimize the mumblechatter. Carpex is a difficult group to slow down. 13 for EC (of course SW PAX went for a run), 38 for the main event.

FNGs: Nope

ECP: Wahoo, Hamm, The Joker

EC: 2 milers: Warbucks, UTI, Slide Rule, Full House, Kosher, Redenbacher, Lipstick, 187

7.5 miles: Revere, Hanson

Warm Up:
YHC decided to start off on a high note with the slaughter starter (20 burpees OYO) to kill the mumblechatter before it really started. It slowed them for a bit before they were begging for a pledge and some good mornings.

A quick pledge of allegiance at the shovel flag and we were off on a mosey for carioca, side shuffles, butt kickers, etc. Circled up in the lot beside CC Jones park for:

Good mornings (SW style of course)
Goofball
Windmill
Sir fazio arm circles
Seal claps

Mosey back to shovel flag.

The Workout:
Thang 1:
Partnered up with PAX from rival territory for Flat tires across long parking lot with each partner working from 4:1 to 40:10 (wheelbarrow steps:merkins). When form broke down, YHC called recover and we mosey’d around to the other side of the church.

Thang 2:
Circled up for Howling Monkeys. 2 rounds were performed with each PAX doing 10 monkey humpers while other PAX held monkey humper starting position. Big circle, so we spawned off 2 active PAX. Slide Rule had enough and tried to stop the howling, but we continued for round 2. PAX then tried to mosey around to the other side of the building. It was at this point that Burt admired YHC’s pants and suggested I went shopping with M4L.

Thang 3:
Evolution of man (crawl, walk, run) x2 rounds

Line up on end of parking lot
Bear crawl to first island
15 merkins
Lunge walk to light pole
15 squats
Sprint to other side of lot
15 shoulder taps
15 WWIIs
*Repeato*

Mary:
Alphabet soup (CAPITAL LETTERS)
LBCs
American hammers
Hundreds

Mosey back to shovel flag for COT.

Announcements:
Q swap continues at Rush Hour tonight at 1800 (6pm).
New Carpex AO launches tomorrow at Waverly with 3rd F to follow

T-Claps (Recognition):
Carpex PAX for maintaining such a strong level of mumblechatter and living up their reputation.

Prayer:
No prayer requests, YHC took us out.

Thanks for the hospitality Carpex! It was an honor (and a challenge) to lead such a large and chatty group.
