YHC has been commuting all week to CarPex and this would be the final round. No one had signed up to Q Phoenix as of last Sunday so Sliderule and I decided to co-q it. However, he could not make it happen with a new baby not cooperating. YHC knew of a fellow HIM that wanted a piece of the action so we were covered. YHC arrived at 0545 to scope out what Phoenix looked like in the gloom. Quickly set up tokens at community center and went to the gathering spot. After a 2+ mile trail run in the dark (stupid), we arrived to a lot filled with PAX ready to work. 1 FNG was present so the disclaimer was given and we were off.

FNGs:
Lobsta (Boston native, navy guy, water, accent from Boston and a lobster…you had to be there)

Warm Up:
Warm up over to community center parking lot where YHC set up floor agility ladders and cones. Two lines went through 3 times for some feet work with hops at the end.
Circle up

Bat Wings x20IC (4 exercises)
Imperial Squat Walkers x20IC
Reverse Carolina Dry Docks x10 on Q’s up/down

Prayer:
Skipper’s ruck bday, HowHow mother passed and PAX support for that event, New baby coming soon, Unspoken

YHC thought on the commute this morning about how fast time goes by. The Bible tell’s us that no one knows when the lord will return but he will come quickly. Let’s live in the now and not for what the future holds. Love those around you. Give a hug to those you care about each day. It’s such a blessing to have loved ones in our lives.

Thanks CarPex for hosting such an awesome week with 7 AO’s we all could come together to get stronger. We look forward to having the favor returned next week. And don’t worry about UTI’s comment during the pray Friday. I know you’ll bring it.

BS Out!

QSWAP DAY 5: UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….

January 10, 2020/in AO Post /QIC: UTI
PAX: 187, Banana Seat, Bedpan, Chicken Little, Disco Duck, Frisco, Full House, Hamm, HoneyComb, Lipstick, Lucky Charms, Lucky Charms (Carpex), M4L, Meat Loaf, Pet Sounds, Pikachu, Schlitz, Sega, Shut In, Side Out, Silver Fox, Skidmark, Term Paper, The Commish, The Joker, Theismann, Triple Lindy, UTI, vanilla, Wahoo, Warbucks, Yogurt

A pre-blast was sent to Carpex and South Wake looking for support for the to-be Q at Dazed and Confused. With the numbers that these two regions have the potential to bring, YHC thought this was an appropriate time to swallow his pride and make the request for a name change. I know… I know… I’m Good Enough, I’m Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me! But if there was ever a time to get the votes I needed, it would be today. And hey, I’ve heard some of the mumblechatter about South Wake naming. Peeping Tom’s name got shortened to PT when he moved to Carpex – Carpex will be sympathetic to my plight…. right?

1000 HCs were requested, the votes came in…

Carpex –

10 HCs
4 Laughed with me (I think)
1 SC
2 “Peeing” emoji – inappropriate!!! EXACTLY THE SORT OF THING I’M TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM!!! Calm… Calm…
1 “No Entry” emoji – I assume this just means no, I’m not trying to enter anything… Minds in the gutter in this region…

SouthWake

8-ish HCs
A whole bunch of protests – “We Love You UTI… Never change..” stuff like that
A threat that I would be “Getting an English Ripping” – Australians… Am I right?

As 187 commented on the pre-blast, “UTI ….. FOREVER MORE….”

***I had no intention of changing my name. Do we even have 1000 PAX between our 2 regions? If 1000 had HC’d or shown up I might have had to change my name… I mean that would be some vote! This exercise was for fun and a mockery of those posts you often see out on the social medias. I scouted the FB pages of some of my elderly relatives for research and treaded lightly around the ones that focus on serious illnesses. This was my inspiration 😀

EC: Warbucks, Full House, The Joker, 187, Skidmark, Lipstick, Pikachu

FNGs: Too Scared…

Groups 1, 2, and 3 cycled through this rotation until all 3 groups completed 10 climbs up the stairs

*Flaw in the structure of this, should have created groups of 3 and had them split up into 3 stations, continuing the rotation as a team of 3. T-claps to Shut-In and other PAX that started calling out group numbers as they got to their new stations to help keep everyone moving. Lesson learned for next time 😀

Thang 2

All PAX to the top of the parking deck, line up on the half wall

Bear Crawl the long way down the lot stopping at each light pole for 5 Merkins OYO

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!

8:40 on a cool, wet Saturday morning and Bluehen, Hard Hat, Speed Racer, Emeril, Potter, Q-Bert walked throughout Womble planning the first of many monthly 2.0 workouts. Pucks, ropes, hoola-hoops and flags were spread throughout the park. Around 8:50 the PAX and their 2.0’s started to trickle in. Quite a few 2.0’s had already been to some workouts and had names but there was a big group of FNG 2.0’s in the mix. A great first turn-out.

Warm Up: Quick jog around the tennis courts. Time to get the 2.0’s riled up. First exercise Fortnite’s Hype kicked off by Bluehen. Second exercise Floss led by Q-Bert. Into evolution of Kid: Planks, Monkey Humpers, Squats, Duck Walk, Butt Kicks, High Knees, Jumping Jacks

The Workout:

Jog down to back parking lot. Emeril pointed the 2.0’s onto one of 2 sides of the parking lot. Bin full of hockey pucks in between the groups. 1 2.0 per team ran to the pin and retrieved a hockey puck and returned and dropped it into the hoola hoop circle. While the kids raced to grab a puck the PAX did push-ups and squats. Emeril brought more pucks than he thought so at one point 2.0’s were asked to grab 2 and then 3 pucks at a time. Yellow card was ready to move on to a new exercise so him and a couple other 2.0’s grabbed the bin and brought it back to their side. Automatic disqualification for his team and 10 SSH as punishment.

Next up bear crawl capture the flag

PAX put in their flags and bear crawled up the parking lot while the 2.0’s ran around capturing their flags and taking them back to the hoola hoop circle. 2.0’s quickly won. 10 burpees to the PAX as punishment.
2.0’s were up next as they put the flags on and did a duck walk while the dad’s did a 1 legged hop to try to catch them. 2.0’s won so 10 burpees to the PAX as punishment.

3 sets of indian runs back to the tennis courts area for 2.0’s vs PAX in Tug a War. Matches started with multiple 2.0’s on one end and Flanigan on the other. 2.0’s won. 5 Merkins for the PAX. Second match pitted Moby, Beater and Bubba vs teh 2.0’s. 2.0’s won. 5 Merkins for the PAX. Third match pitted 6-7 PAX vs the 2.0’s. 2.0’s won again. Everyone does 5 Merkins
