PAX of 17 for new AO To Be Determined:
Co-QICs: Aquaman, Doc

FNGs: None

PAX of 17 showed up to christen a new AO.  Co-Qs promised a nice cool morning accompanied by a spectacular sunrise.  Delivered.  Today’s workout brought to you by the number 19 in honor of Doc’s 2.0 that graduated yesterday and the rest of the PAX connected to the Class of 19.  Thanks to everyone that showed up to help us break this in.

Warm Up: 19s (SSH IC out loud to 3 then silently to 19). Supposed to end simultaneously but failed.  Not to be deterred, continued with windmills X 19, arm circles X 19 forward and reverse, merkins X 19.  Mosey to the Ivan parking lot.

The Workout:
–Apple Turnover (bear crawl 9 parking spaces, crab walk 10 spaces.  Return by same route but reverse crab walk 10 spaces, crawl bear 9).

–Partner up at one end of the parking lot.  Five burpees each, run opposite ways and meet at other end of the parking lot for 5 broke back merkins each.  Repeat: 5 burpees, 4 broke back merkins for a total of 19 of both exercises.

In the middle of this circuit Aquaman mentioned a ‘bone popping in his hand’.  YHC thought this was mumblechatter about Aquaman’s Tuesday night extracurricular activities, but it turned out to be an injury report.  Some modification required until the bone popped back in (insert comments here).

–Sprints: PAX divided in half on each side of median.  Everyone does the following:
1. Sprint half the distance of parking lot, 5 burpees.  Sprint the other half, 5 burpees.
2. Sprint half the lot, 19 LBCs.  Repeat.
3. Sprint half the lot, 19 merkins.  Repeat.
4. Sprint half the lot, 19 pickle pounders. Repeat.
Might have been another circuit, can’t remember.  YHC running on fumes about now.

–One PAX arrived late.  So late, in fact, YHC thought it was just a dude that saw a workout underway and decided to join in.  5 burpees OYO administered.  Welcome back Popinkski, glad to have you in the group!

–Mosey around the parking lot for cool down, then around a second time and back to tennis courts for Mary.

Mary: Protractors, protractors and more protractors.  Long holds at 6 inches (expected mumblechatter about 6 inches, was not disappointed), 45 degrees, etc.  Straight into box cutters, followed by Freddie Mercurys, Homer to Marge (both legs then one leg each side), boat canoes.  PAX feeling the burn at this point, and some discussion about potential drop in attendance next week (Deadbolt: “Futures trending downward”).  Have a nice day.

Announcements: New AO in FV on Tuesday mornings at 5:30, Encouragement to attend Healing Transitions with and w/out 2.0s.

Prayer: Crab Legs, others spoken and unspoken.

Prayer: Pikachu led us in a mighty prayer.  We lifted up all Veterans, Banana Seat, Crab Legs and Noah’s Arc and his M.

 

Side note: The Indian Hills idea came to me and reminded me of a great Sons of Anarchy episode where they patch over a MC in Indian Hills Nevada.  It’s a great episode in a great series(check it out).  I guess you can consider this YHC patching over Disney with all my glory.  It’s a real pleasure to lead you, hope you all have a great week!
