Not Enough Big Rocks
/in AO Post, Thunder /QIC: Fanny PackPAX: Bulls Eye, Dauber, Dusty, Fanny Pack, Foul Ball, Kubota, Lipsync, Pikachu, Wallaby
….says Pikachu! Apparently Womble Park rock selection is dwindling down and beasts like Pikachu are at a loss for finding more challenging rocks. Maybe it’s time for a field trip to “import” some other rocks from Jones Park or The Greenway???
YHC hasn’t taken the Q at Thunder since the spring and it was a great night to be back out with these good fellas! YHC came up with somewhat of a plan running a solo 5 mile EC down to Bass Lake. Several other viscous cyclists also were in attendance afterward at Thunder. Impressive double-down.
FNGs: no sir.
Warm Up: SSH IC x 30, Daisy Pickers, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Imperial Walkers, Frankenstein’s, Hillbillies all IC x 11.
The Workout: Mosey to the bandstand for a series of group split exercises. One group held either BTTW or People’s Chair while other groups did exercises including: Irkins x 20/x15 and dirkins x15, and dips x25, x20, and x15.
To the rock pile. Small handheld rocks were the first order. Pax completed a series of shoulder Press, lateral raise, and front raises with the rocks. Counts were mixed but all moves had a 30,20,and 10 count. 60 total reps per move. On to the big rocks. Each pax selected a big rock and Cusacked over the The hill by the batting cages.
YHC called for 11’s with Ground Pounders IC at the bottom of the Hill and Wonderbras at the top. At some point, Lipsync threw his rock down the hill which gave YHC an idea! All PAX would “shot-out” their rock from the top of the hill. Whichever pax threw farthestvonly had 1 burpee. Each pax thereafter would add a burpee depending on Landon position. Lip sync had 1…YHC had 8. We completed 11’s and mosey with rocks to a nice flat section near the rock pile. Pax completed: 50 chest Press, 10 merkins, 30 chest Press, 7 merkins, 20 chest Press, 5 merkins.
Mary: To the picnic shelter for 1 more round of 10 count per pax BTTW. Finished with 15 counts of WW1, LBC’s, Homer to Marge, and LSF. Completed 11 SSH at the flag.
Announcements: Help at HS Food Cupboard this Sat. Details on 3rd F Slack.
T-Claps (Recognition):
Prayer: Wallaby has a cousin with health and family issues. Aquaman and Bullseye trip to Chicago and relatives stuck in Mexico. YHC took us out on a great fall evening.
