Full House took us out

Dorian are you here yet?

YHC (H1N1) arrived early to Kenny’s Grave for a little extra EC before the Hurricane Party got started.  Pulling into the parking lot, YHC saw Cupid was already parked but nowhere to be found – must be out getting in some extra mileage (6+ to be exact).  BS, LED, and Fonzie rolled in ready to go followed by Martini – Cupid was soon sighted coming back in and then the PAX headed out for 3 miles for pre-party festivities.  PAX returned from EC to see some additional party goers had arrived and quickly learned that Norm also completed some EC starting at 0505.

0530 arrived, time to get this Hurricane Party started!  12 Pax showed up but we were missing the guest of honor – Hurricane Dorian was delayed and had not arrived – no matter the Pax proceeded on.  Based on yesterday’s forecast for rain, YHC had planned for a shelter workout so a mini audible was called and the workout was performed in the parking lot under the clouds.

Warm Up: Pax took a lap around the parking lot mixing in butt kickers, high knees, and high skips.  YHC explained that reps from today’s exercises will be exaggerated and slow just like Dorian and conducted in multiple of 5s since at one point Dorian was a CAT 5 storm.

The Workout: Spelled out Dorian

R – Rochanburpees, partner up from some rock, paper, and scissors.  Loser does 2 burpees while winner does 2 merkins.  If tie, both partners do merkins.  Play 5 rounds doubling the count each time.

I – Imperial Squat Walker – performed 5 rounds IC. 1 – squat; 2 – right knee to opposite elbow; 3 – squat; 4 – left knee to opposite elbow

You got Jokes? I got Burpees!

FNGs: Not Today
Warm Up: A few jokes were being thrown out as we huddled before the workout. YHC didn’t take them lightly, so we Mosey off for a quick 0.7 Mile loop.  YHC wasn’t impressed with the effort on the run and called out 34 Burpees OYO to get things started! Circled up for SSH x34, Moroccan Night Clubs x17, hold squat for seal claps x17, right into Monkey Humpers x17. Mosey to back side of HT
The Workout: We continued where we left off yesterday with the shoulder burn and found some wall on the back of HT. People’s Chair until PAX brought it in.

We got into groups of 3. 2 Pax did Empty Wheelbarrow suicides using 5 parking spots (Think of a crab walk wheelbarrow 🙂 ) While the 3rd pax of the group worked on the Dora 100 Merkins, LBC’s & Squats. Upon completion I told the PAX about YHC and Peeping Tom’s exercise that made the F3 exicon, the Peeping Lipstick. We did 10 Peeping Lipsticks OYO to commemorate the induction into the Exicon (Think Turkish Get up Star Jump)

Warm Up: the usual suspects – SSH, IW/HB, leg and arm stretches, good mornings

The Workout: Dora’s ugly step-sister Mora(?)

Pax broke into groups of 3.

Partner 1 starred at bottom of the hill completing in no specific order (at least) 100 reps of each with a rock – curls for the girls, shoulder/chest press, tricep extensions.

While partner one was repping, partner 2 ran up the hill, stopping mid way to enjoy 5 burpees before making it to partner 3. Partner 3, who was at the top, was working through (in no specific order) (at least) 100 reps of each – merkins, squats, and WWII’s.

Relay race style, once partner 2 reached partner 3, partner 3 ran down (stopping mid way for that lovely burpee break) to partner 1 and the bob and weave continued until the one-year-old-F3 :Q wrapped up this warm up (27 min deep) and sent the PAX moseying to the tennis courts

After a brief plank hold for the six and some mumble chatter about Mary…. we lined up on the baseline for more fun

1st set – bear crawl 1/2, jog 1/2  across courts into 20 shoulder tap balls to the wall with a 1/2 bear crawl 1/2 jog back to starting line for 1:5 deep squat into calf raises
