Gloriously Idiotic and Absolutely Pointless Sharknado

Gloriously Idiotic and Absolutely Pointless Sharknado

QIC: Starfish

Date: 8/21/2017

PAX: Zima, Balco, Bathhouse, Red Eye, Bluto, Closer (WB), Starfish (WD)

6 and then eventually a 7th pax showed up at The Outhouse to see what the Sharknado hoopla was all about.  After a pre-workout #BrownAlert and making use of the aptly named #Outhouse and after having to deal right out of the gate with @Mongoose mumblechattering a workout that he was too scared of to attend, we launched into the shark infested air and got work done.

COT/BOM (with F3WSSpeedTrap):  YHC took us out.

NMM:

@Zima was concerned that we would have to listen to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” once he realized YHC had brought the tunes.  As of 0615, we had listened to a bunch of eclipse themed tunes, but were not subjected to that Bonnie Tyler “classic”.

@Mongoose ambled over to our warm-o-rama circle noting that Speed Trap was more popular than YHC’s Outhouse and noting that his greatness had given two of our Outhouse a ride from the Brookberry compound.  Tclaps for bringing @Bathhouse and @RedEye and even more tclaps for running with Speed Trap so we only had to put up with the @SurlyOne at the beginning and end of our workout.

Sometime during the 1st round of Sharknado, @Balco materialized saying something about how he’d heard we’d be doing some burpees today.  75+ in fact.

Sharknado was blatantly leveraged from F3Indianapolis/F3NWIndiana who we believe leveraged it from F3LakeNorman.  YHC does not think it had ever been run in the Dash, so thought we’d give it a whirl this morning on The Outhouse figure 8 trail.

It was sweaty out there.

Diamonds after Burpees $uck.

@Zima asked YHC when he was moving to ATX sometime between round 3 and 4.

1.91 miles, 75 Burpees, 100 Diamond Merkins, 100 WWII Situps, 100 Merkins, 100 Scorpion Dry Docks.  #Sufficient.

YHC was #WarDaddy by 7 years.  The #WarBaby race was much closer but #Closer pulled it out by ~1 year.
