Is Lipstick a Super Hero

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Where does Lipstick really go when he disappears? Has anyone seen Superman and Lipstick in the same place? No. Batman? No. Spiderman? No. Lipstick may be fighting crime instead of dropping a deuce. Does anyone really have to poop that much? I can’t imagine the toilet paper budget in the house.

Regardless, 23 Pax posted on a slightly chilly Monday morning. I’m hoping the SW presence at Carpex was good and we were well represented.

10 for EC: Dawgpound, Full House, Emeril, Chips, Crosby, Double Donk, Cowboy, UTI, Peeping Tom, Skidmark

Breathtaker present

Warm Up: Pax were already circled up some Q let with some SSH. As Pax began a car wondered into the parking lot. The level of urgency was in question so Pax continued SSH until and unknown joined the circle. Pax did SSH x 60 and then 5 burpees OYO for the late Pax. A quick tutorial was given on Indian run that the Pax must reach the front before next Pax goes. Indian run for one loop with stops to do Good Mornings, Sir Fozio Arm Circles, Chinooks, Goofballs, and Moroccan Nightclubs.

The Workout: Big Winners today!! Triple 7’s! 7 burpees at the top of the ramp, 7 burpees at the bottom, and 7 runs up the ramp. Total = 98 burpees. Modify to merkins if needed.

Mosey to bottom parking lot. Partner up. One partner run and other do squats and then change to merkins.

Mary: Q provided a brief tutorial on the correct form for Imperial Walkers and Hillbillies. Engage the core. Did each in cc of 15.

Plank exercises all 10 cc. Regular, Right arm up, regular, left arm up, regular, parker peters, pickle pounders – recover

Announcements: See Pikachu’s announcements on Slack and FB. New announcements: R4TJ needs a Q Wednesday. Contact UTI.

Red Ryder leads the first half. First exercise, Pledge of Allegiance.

Warm Up
Mosey for 1 lap around the tennis courts and circle up for Good Mornings, Sir Fazio Arm Circles
both ways, Overhead claps, Steve Earles, Daisy Pickers, Control Freak Merkins and 10
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…

Thang 2
Partner up, with each team grabbing a non-traveling rock. Move to the end of the parking lot
nearest Field 1. Time for Dora – 100 tricep extensions, 200 curls, 300 squats. While partner 1 is
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

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , ,

14 months as Disney Site Q came to an end on a perfect late Dec morning with a true baker’s dozen and a strong showing of 8 on EC.  It’s been an honor to be on Q and I appreciate all the #HIM who supported me, put in the work, and stepped up top lead.  I look forward to guest Q’ing sites around South Wake in 2019.

Warm Up: Regular jog around fields, circle up for variety of standard exercises. On the jog to circle up again beyond the half pipe and we did a burnout of Fazio Arm Circles.
The Workout: On the jog to the lower lot we set up on the benches for sets as follows, all on the 15 IC or cadence: tempo dips, plank hold, shoulder taps, low slow flutter, SSH. Set up for Indian Run all the way to The Abyss – keeping it clean and in line, with the exception of a drop out to make a special visit to the woods. Set up in 2 groups for spacing.  Stayed with the groups and at the top we did 10 squat star jumps, at the bottom 15 merkins. 5 rounds total. On the jog back to the start.
Mary: Quick 3 rounds of LBCs, Homer to Marge and Pickle Pounders
Announcements: Lots of new activity in 2019 – Post challenge, breathtaker, Q swap, 3rd F Q Source, new HS race this spring 8k and 16k
