I’ve never seen lights worn like that

Wow. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, South Wake loves virgins…Q’s that is. 30 Pax posted for a virgin Q this morning by Aquaman.

The amount of Pax that posted at EC was incredible too. I’ll try to get them all: UTI, Pablo, Lipstick, Crosby, Gumby, Dawgpound, Deadbolt, Double Doink, Slide Rule, Cowboy, Nemo, Peeping Tom, Mookie, , Wiggly, Skidmark (again sorry if I forgot anyone)

New light vests should come with instruction on how to put it on. Said pax had the lights somewhere down around his groin area and through his legs. I think there was some concern with it not staying on his shoulders.

10 Rounds with Tyson at Purple Cobra

12 #HIM took the Red Pill on this 18 degree morning in January.  YHC had seen the calling for a site Q – so I figured it was about time to dust off the old Wenky and lead a workout.  I wanted to bring back an “old school” workout that I remember well.  I also wanted to stick to one of my Q goals and always strive for “accountability partners”

Today’s workout would also try to integrate the sales trailer at Planet Fitness and the aroma of Bacon from the newly Opened “Eggs up” restaurant.  Both we successful.  Also – M4l showed up in his Maverick Costume and Banana Seat showed up as a pink bunny.  I love you guys!

Warm Up:  5:30 on the dot.  No FNGs.  No Shovel Flag (my fault) and we were off.  Short mosey over to the freshly paved parking anchored by the Sad Clown haven of Planet Fitness.  They have a trailer on site filled to the brim with $1 bills from sad clowns looking for a quick and easy remedy to the POGO 40 (look it up).  We circled up for some warmups – we need it

  • SSH x 20
  • Good Mornings x 15
  • Lipstick showed up late
  • Burpees x 5 OYO
  • Fazio Arm Circles 10F + 10R

The Workout:  This morning we would do “10 Rounds with Tyson”.  Five cones were set up in the corners and mid point of a 0.25 mile loop around the parking lot.  The asphalt still smelled like a combination of wet paint, butchers market signature tips and the bacon cooking at Eggs Up.  The workout would include stops at each pain station in the loop.  At each stop, the Pax would perform the exercise (15 reps) and move on.  Pax broke in to groups of 2 with accountability partners.  The exercises included:

  • Lap 1:   Merkins x 15       (75 total)
  • Lap 2:  Prisoner Squats x 15      (75 total)
  • Lap 3: Wide Grip Merkins x15      (75 total)
  • Lap 4:  LBC x 15    (75 total)
  • Lap 5:  Diamons Merkins x 15    (75 total)
  • Lap 6:  Star Jumps x 15     (75 total)
  • Lap 7:  WW2 Situps x 15     (75 total)
  • Lap 8:  Hand Release Merkins x 15   (75 total)
  • Lap 9:  Freddy Mercury x15   (75 total)
  • Lap 10:  Burpees x 15     (75 total)

I don’t think that any accountability partner group made it all ten rounds – which is normally the case for this workout over a span of 45 minutes.  With 5 minutes to spare – we picked up the cones and headed back to COT.

Mary:  Not much time but we did

  • Low slow flutter x 20
  • Times up!

Announcements:  Announcements on Slack and Facebook.
Prayer:  Unspoken, Crablegs, Police officers and first responders, those suffering from Cancer

The Workout:  PAX grabbed a medium-sized rock and circled up in main parking lot.  Q led the PAX in the following continuous exercises with their rock:  10 curls, 10 rut-ros, 10 over head presses, 10 triceps curls, and 10 goblet squats; dropped rocks and commenced executing 10 burpees.  Mosey to the hill.  It was frosty with the temps hovering at 30 F degrees.  PAX bear crawled up the hill; stopped at frozen guardrail and cranked out 5 irkins, 5 derkins and 5 dips.  With the frozen tundra, Q audibled and had the PAX not climb down the hill.  Recovered and climbed over the guardrail and proceeded single file in a jog down hill on sidewalk around the tennis courts back to the rocks.  Plank hold until the 6th  came in.  RINSE AND REPEAT 3X (four total).  Q threw in 25 LBCs for fun on last set.  Returned rocks and circled up in the tennis courts for Mary.

burpees OYO.

Thang 1
Mosey to the tennis courts and line up on the far left baseline. Tiny 11s, imported from nearby
Churham, call for a modification of the 11s we all know and love. The mode of transportation
from one baseline to the opposite is the infamous Bear Crawl. Following the requisite number
of Scorpion Dry Docks, the PAX Crawl Bear back to the starting point and complete the
requisite number of Monkey Humpers. Upon completion, BTTW until the SIX are all accounted
for. Red Ryder turns the reigns over to Rooney for…

completing said exercises, partner 2 runs to the field 2 scoring booth and back. Repeato until
complete. Return rocks and circle up for…

Mary
A pretty typical 3 minutes of Mary ensues, with Rooney calling some of the most excellent
exicon favorites such as American Hammers and Dying Cockroaches. All was going smoothly
until a very rotten odor, resembling that of dead cow that was left in 105 degree weather for at
least a week, began to emanate throughout the Mary circle. For the first time in known F3
history, fart penalty burpees were called.

Announcements
