Conditions: mid-70s and huuuumid
Pax: Bicentennial Man (QIC), Blue Mule (QIC), Harvey Updyke (QIC), Hi Viz (QIC)
…you read that right. When YHC pulled in at 5:28, the other three pax were ready and waiting. Blue Mule threw out the idea that in the absence of anyone stepping up to the Q-plate, we all split the Q duties, each taking roughly 11:15 of leading the pax through their paces. And so began the Committee-Q…
Hi Viz’s Part 1: Disclaimer to remind us all that none of us are professionals, then mosey from shovel flag, around western edge of Elmington, to just behind home plate of the baseball diamond. Warm-ups including SSH, LBAC, Air Press, Reverse LBAC, WMH, and Good Mornings. Lined up on the nearby bleachers for some 10-15-20 DIDs, followed by Monkey Humpers. Rinse and repeat, reversing the numbering (20-15-10) on the DIDs.
Blue Mule’s Part 2: Mosey to the playground, pair up. One partner runs to a destination point (cycled through the southwest corner of the park, the steps in front of WEMS, and the nearby book birdhouse), while the other gets in AMRAP of the called exercises, which rotated after both partners had completed the run. Exercises included merkins, overhead claps, burpees, and manmakers.
Harvey Updyke’s Part 3: Mosey to the tennis court for some 4-corners action. At the first corner, 25 merkins. Crab walk to second corner, for 50 Carolina dry docks. Bear crawl to third corner, for 75 monkey humpers. Lt Dans to fourth corner, for partner curls (one partner is down in wheelbarrow position, other partner grabs their ankles and performs a bicep curl).
Bicentennial Man’s Part 4: Mosey back to the playground for Elevens with pull-ups and decline merkins. Time was called with 3 minutes to spare, and the pax moseyed back to the shovel flag, for a quick Mary consisting of J-Lo’s, flutter kicks, and box cutters.
