5 PAX and a sidelined Bagger Vance braved the chill for a cardio-heavy Q by YHC.
QIC: Princess Aurora
PAX: Pumpkin Spice, Blue Mule, Hambone, Boyband, Bagger Vance (Audience Member)
THE THANG:
Quick disclaimer then off for a warm-up mosey around the community center and back to the lot for COP, all IC:
- SSH x 20
- Squats x 15
- WMH x 16
- LBAC F/R x 10
- Merkins x 10
Off on another mosey to preview the route for today’s main event. Roughly, .35 miles later, we had returned to the cars. At this point, YHC went to unlock his car and grab the supplies, but alas, the key fob battery had frozen. Not only did this leave me wondering how to modify, but it also left me fearful that I might not be able to get home. No matter! There’s a workout to finish first.
AUDIBLE:
Each pax completes a round of Burpees x 10, Merkins x 20, and Squats x 30, followed by a lap. RnR x 5 with the added caveat that if you were tagged by anyone along the course, you had to drop and do 5 burpees. I don’t actually know that anyone was tagged because I was too busy leading from the front.
All in and it was over to the jungle gym for some pull-ups. One pax performed 10 reps and gave the rest an exercise to do. RnR down the line, and then go again with 8 reps, then 6, then 8 again. Exercises included:
- Donkey Kicks
- Crunchy Frogs
- Freddie Mercuries
- Leg Raises
- Manmakers
- LOTS of Jane Fondas (Blue Mule special)
Long mosey around the perimeter of Sevier and back to the lot of 3MOM. Boxcutters, Flutters, and more before COT/BOM.
BULLHORN:
Well, I was bummed that I didn’t get to use my supplies, but, I’m grateful for the lessons learned in this dry run of my “fun idea.” Now I can hone it a little more before debuting the real thing. Another positive is that I was able to warm my keys up enough to get back into my car.
MOLESKINE:
- Congrats to F3 Rucktrain (Funyuns, Big Bang, Grisham, and Tortoise) for finishing first at the Star Course in Jacksonville. Honorable mention goes to Bagger for training with them. I know he was bummed to not be there.
- Keep that Q calendar full, guys. Winter is coming, but the workouts won’t stop!
- Speaking of winter, the 2nd Annual Hillympics are just around the corner. Talk to Frugal for more details.
- As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, I know I’m very grateful for each and every one of you and the opportunities to lead and be led by you. Prayers for safe travels as you all go to spend time with your families over the next couple of weeks.
- Go Tigers.
PA out.
