Accidental Q

AO: westeros
Q: Michelin Man
PAX: CubCadet, Vector, Sherlock, Tim the Toolman, DintyMoore
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS: quality

WARMUP: I think Cub Cadet led the warmup at 5am…

THE THANG:

Made this up on the fly as YHC did not expect to Q. My plans to Q were an educated wish.

1. 6 sprints up the hill. Until Vector is mad.
2. Ring of squat-fire. No not a Mexican restaurant’s revenge, this was just what is in the tin, hold an Al gore and take turns squatting. Last one out (Toolman of course) wins.
3. MORA. It’s a DORA but More! 300 lunges, 250 pointers. 200 squats. 100 imperial walkers. Run up the steps and do 20 of: flutters, hillbillies, or sumo squats.
4. Windshield wipers until time.

COT: Your accidental Q was excited to make this up as we went along. Fin.

Boat Body – Pontoon Rock

Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Cream Cheese, Dirtbag, Tim the Toolman, CubCadet, Crawlspace, Marcus Wilcock (Homer), Black Lung, McAfee, Papa Bear, Hedwig, Firefox, Skeet, Spinal Tap, Linus, Strings, Tater, Dirtbag
FNGs: 1 Dirtbag
COUNT: 16
CONDITIONS: Felt like the last Friday of Summer

WARMUP: SSH, Merkins, Squats, Arm Circle, Air Press, M Night Clubs,

THE THANG: 3 mile mosey with periodic merkins and core

We took off for a mosey and as we hit the trail, Robert Frost’s words echoed in my mind – two paths diverged in a yellow wood. But unlike the poet, there was no luxury of contemplation. With the last shirtless weekend of summer calling I ditched my plan and pushed the PAX through the 3 mile loop around McCabe.

Three miles of sweat and glory lay ahead, punctuated by surprise stops for merkins and core-busters. The Playlist? Pure pontoon rock – think yacht rock’s rowdier country cousin. As we pushed through, letting the six catch up at each pit stop, we sculpted our summer bodies with every step.

MOLESKINE: No one was planning on running that far, and everyone pushed through it! Do Hard Things

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Big shout out to Strings and Marcus Wilcock (Homer) joining us down range from the UK, and also Linus from Tacoma WA!

growruck.com/event/gte-55/ is Sept 20-22 if you can make a last minute trip across the pond

COT: Prayers were lifted!

Thank you men of bomber and DintyMoore for inviting me to lead. It was great to come back to the original AO where I first joined F3 4 years ago!

NO BURPEE REQUEST

AO: bomber
Q: hambone
PAX: Sherlock, DintyMoore, Pep, Chunks, Hair Band, Puzzlah, Hedwig, CubCadet, Papa Bear
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS:

WARMUP: No time to waste–no warmup.

THE THANG: CubCadet requested that there be no burpees + running, and because I respect the most respected members of the most respected AO in Nashville, how could I not oblige?

The thing about the burpee is there is a whole bunch of gettin’ up and gettin’ down. Why not just cut out the extra movement and do the merkin and the squat separately? The geriatrics in the crowd approved.

Besides the running and stopping for merkins and squats, we also managed to get a quick set of pull ups and then moved over to bear crawls + other work near Nebraska Ave.

The closeout was Jacobs ladder with NO BURPEES–just merkins and squats. Work your way up to 7 and then SSH for the six.

MOLESKIN: DintyMoore was late, but he was able to follow his nose to my stank and catch up with the crew. He just knew how to get us.

Sherlock came flying in with rizzzzz because he caught lots of red lights on the way over, but he made up for it by catching up and then performing Jacob’s Ladder like a champion.

Speaking of late, Chunks came flying in on his fleet feet accompanied by Hair Band. He was pretty smoked, but “that was the pace he picked”.

Papa Bear, Hedwig I don’t want you guys to feel left out–you guys looked excellent on the bear crawls. I know you’ll lead some in the future.

Puzzlah I couldn’t notice any problems with the hip. The man is large, but he moves like butter on a lobster.

Speaking of lobster, Pep, I’m really sorry I didn’t have more at 525. Sometimes all I have to give is my love and the workout.

CubCadet, I fulfilled my promise, so even though you may not technically be AOQ, your word reigns supreme and I honor it–even if I have to use a bit of semantics to get the workout in that I want.

COT: Prayers for Hedwig’s 2nd cousin (technically?) and his awesome life and passing. Prayers for the Beam/Beem family and the loss of their child (thx DintyMoore). Prayers for Hair Band’s 5 minute move.

hambone out.
