Abe Gets Hot for Teacher

PAX: Abe, Bambi, Banana Seat, Bobby Boucher, Cataracts, Chicken Little, Crimson, Disco Duck, ezikle, ham, Hanson, headroom, Liverpool, M4L, Ma Bell, mowhawk, ox tail, petsounds, Pikachu, queequeg, QWERTY, Red Ryder, Revere, Short Circuit, Shut In, Skidmark, Slappy, Term Paper, Theismann, Track Star, Traffic cone, Two Factor, UTI, vanilla, Wahoo, Warbucks, WWW

YHC rolled up to the spot rarin’ to go. So much so that YHC locked his keys in his car. Doh! Oh well, F3 starts on time and ends on time, so let’s go!

FNGs: none (I’m pretty sure)
Warm Up: Ran down to Kelly Rd Park, circled up in the parking lot for:
SSH x 25 / Imperial Walkers x 10 / Hill Billies x 10 / Windmills x 10 / Good Mornings x 10
The Workout: Planned on using the baseball diamond for 7 of Diamonds, but Cataracts informed me that the field is probably closed. Modify as needed, so we did 7 of Diamonds around the parking lot. It went a little something like this:
Round 1: 7 Shoulder Taps at each corner, bear crawl on the long stretch, crab walk on the short stretch
Round 2: 14 Pistol Squats at each corner (7R/7L), lunge walk on the long stretch, frong jump on the short stretch
Round 3: 21 Merkins at each corner, lunge walk long stretch, bear crawl short stretch
Round 4: Copperhead Squat at each corner, lunge walks all around
This ate up most of our time, so we moseyed back to start.
Mary: YHC called a plank hold while waiting for the 6. It was apparent that we might be waiting awhile, so an audible for more Merkins was called. Ended up with 3 sets of 10.
Once the 6 was in:
American Hammers x 10
WWIIs (in cadence, ended up with 20)
LBCs x 10
Homer 2 Marge (SW style) x 10
Announcements: Ruck, CPR
T-Claps (Recognition): Slapps for buying me some post-game java.
Prayer: Kingsley for recovery from illness, Yahoo for travel abroad / adoption, praise for Queequeg promotion

Thank you Carpax HIMs for giving me the opportunity to spend some quality gloom time with you. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Q-Swap Week – Disturbing the Peace

January 7, 2020/in Convergence /QIC: Warbucks
PAX: 16 Steves, 187, Banana Seat, Bartman, Beef Cake, Bobby Boucher, Burt, Cataracts, Chicken Little, Coney, Crimson, Dawgpound, Earhart, Emeril, Full House, Hamm, Hanson, Imp, Kosher, Lipstick, QWERTY, Redenbacher, Revere, Schlitz, Short Circuit, Silver Fox, Slide Rule, Sour Mash, Term Paper, The Joker, Track Star, Traffic cone, Triple Lindy, UTI, Viking, Wahoo, Warbucks, Wiggly

YHC hasn’t Q’d in a while and was eager to knock the dust off for Q-Swap. A workout was planned to handle a large crowd and to minimize the mumblechatter. Carpex is a difficult group to slow down. 13 for EC (of course SW PAX went for a run), 38 for the main event.

FNGs: Nope

ECP: Wahoo, Hamm, The Joker

EC: 2 milers: Warbucks, UTI, Slide Rule, Full House, Kosher, Redenbacher, Lipstick, 187

7.5 miles: Revere, Hanson

Warm Up:
YHC decided to start off on a high note with the slaughter starter (20 burpees OYO) to kill the mumblechatter before it really started. It slowed them for a bit before they were begging for a pledge and some good mornings.

A quick pledge of allegiance at the shovel flag and we were off on a mosey for carioca, side shuffles, butt kickers, etc. Circled up in the lot beside CC Jones park for:

Good mornings (SW style of course)
Goofball
Windmill
Sir fazio arm circles
Seal claps

Mosey back to shovel flag.

The Workout:
Thang 1:
Partnered up with PAX from rival territory for Flat tires across long parking lot with each partner working from 4:1 to 40:10 (wheelbarrow steps:merkins). When form broke down, YHC called recover and we mosey’d around to the other side of the church.

Thang 2:
Circled up for Howling Monkeys. 2 rounds were performed with each PAX doing 10 monkey humpers while other PAX held monkey humper starting position. Big circle, so we spawned off 2 active PAX. Slide Rule had enough and tried to stop the howling, but we continued for round 2. PAX then tried to mosey around to the other side of the building. It was at this point that Burt admired YHC’s pants and suggested I went shopping with M4L.

Thang 3:
Evolution of man (crawl, walk, run) x2 rounds

Line up on end of parking lot
Bear crawl to first island
15 merkins
Lunge walk to light pole
15 squats
Sprint to other side of lot
15 shoulder taps
15 WWIIs
*Repeato*

Mary:
Alphabet soup (CAPITAL LETTERS)
LBCs
American hammers
Hundreds

Mosey back to shovel flag for COT.

Announcements:
Q swap continues at Rush Hour tonight at 1800 (6pm).
New Carpex AO launches tomorrow at Waverly with 3rd F to follow

T-Claps (Recognition):
Carpex PAX for maintaining such a strong level of mumblechatter and living up their reputation.

Prayer:
No prayer requests, YHC took us out.

Thanks for the hospitality Carpex! It was an honor (and a challenge) to lead such a large and chatty group.

How hard can it be? This is a limited run AO

The Workout: Count off and partner up: 1st exercise partner wheelbarrows across lot with nipplers x10 at mid point. YHC looked out in the distance and called out Red Ryder’s FJ Cruiser as the end point (150ft); Repeat with partner swap on the way back. 2nd exercise partner 1 air squared at starting line while partner 2 alligator merkins to Red’s FJ Cruiser and run back to start (Both partners do each once) 3rd exercise Bear Crawl Burpees. Each time YHC called out Grizzley, Pax came up from bear crawl and did a burpee. Grizzley was called out to many times to count 🙂 Once we were at Red’s Cruiser, we did Jack Webbs. Thanks to Yogi, we did 1/4 x7 and then Bear Crawl Burpeed back to start. Mosey over to church and grab some wall. YHC had planned for 3 sets of BTTW with Shoulder Taps x10 and People’s Chair x10 but thanks to mumblechatter, we did 5 sets.
Mary: Diamond Merkins x20, LBC’s x20, Pikachu reminded us we didn’t finish the Jack Webs to 10, so we did 8-10 with diamond merkins on set 10, boat cannoes x20, and my favorite diamond merkins x20

Running 4 the John – Speedwork Edition

15 PAX came out to join us in a little shake-up at R4tJ. Great showing given all of the draw from QSwap and Fritters! Thanks as always for showing up and allowing me to lead.

Warm Up:

The Workout:

YHC provided some colorful chalk for PAX to mark their laps. On Lipsticks first lap he provided a different kind of mark behind the dumpsters at the first turn. I dont think I need to tell you to steer clear of the dumpsters but just in case…

Once the laps were done, the group went backwards on the course forming a bigger and bigger Indian Run chain as we picked everyone up on the way (Nemo ignored us and kept running per the pre-blast. I appreciate Nemo reading the pre-blast and sticking to the plan and the end, he was rewarded with covering more miles than any of us). Half way around by the dumpsters we had picked up everyone, we turned around and continued the Indian Run until we turned the corner by the tennis courts. A jail break was called and we all bolted for the basketball courts.

Mary:

For time, an audible was called to move into Mary and cancel the 1 mile cool-down (repeating the warm-up). Dawgpound was nice enough to lead us in some yoga stretching which had the whole group making some “noises”. Table Top, Pigeon Pose, Runners Pose, and Cobra Pose were among the rotation. Thanks for jumping in on the cool-down Dawgpound.

Announcements:

ATT Long Ass Run – Get your name on the RSVP for lunch so Blue Hen can get a reservation in. It’s in early Feb, check your Facebooks, Slacks, and Twitters for details.
BRR Team Formation Meet-up – Jan 22 at BlackDog Bottleshop – FB and Slack have the details, message UTI for more if you need it.

Prayer:

Buford, recovering from surgery – may be out for 6 or more weeks – Dawgpound looking for an opportunity to get him out of the house when he can so stay tuned for a 2nd F
Doug Stein – Done with surgery and in PT, wife has a scheduled C section and he wont be fully on his feet by then
Ausfart – Lots of prayers for Ausfart, sounds like he is out or will get out of the hospital soon for some home recovery.
