QIC: Fingers

Date: 10/19/17

PAX: Whirly, Light Brigade, Palin, Thistle (WD), Huckleberry, Hedwig (WB), Fingers

Ok, so we did what we said we would. Once again, here’s the grand plan:

The WIB THANG

• Meet in Fleet Feet parking lot (278 Harvey St, Winston-Salem, NC 27103; off Stratford)
• Mosey to Hanestown park (R on Ricks, L on Thurston; corner of Thurston & Stark)
• Start at swings
• • – x12 Swerkins (#CrowdPleaser)
  • (very short mosey to benches at shelter)
  • – x12 Dips
  • – x12 Derkins
  • – x12 Irkins
  • – x12 Box Jumps
  • – Run lap around park (~.3mi)
  • Repeato
• Goal: Complete at least 6 circuits

We did complete 6 circuits (~2.7mi; 72 Swerkins, 72 Dips, 72 Derkins, 72 Irkins, 72 Box Jumps).

@Thistle did more than 6 laps.

@Huckleberry and @Hedwig completed more circuits than 6, but not sure how much…

YHC took us out.

Announcements and NMM

• Ardmore RAH on Sat – 5k & 10k (or both)
• @Thistle’s younger son Duncan deployed Tuesday – keep him in your prayers
• @Huckleberry and @Hedwig jumped out to an early lead; @Thistle was not far behind them
• Learned that the area where we worked out used to be comprised of Hanes company housing to support the Hanes factory that was there, hence the name “Hanestown”;

• The park looked much more cheerful in the light of day than it did in the gloom this morning
• Future reference: there are only two swings suitable for Swerkins, a slide, a shelter, and a basketball court; not much else at this park
• @LightBrigade apparently had trouble remembering his name in Name-o-rama, referring to himself as “Ice Brigade”; it was chilly this morning, but not that cold…
• Everybody worked hard this morning; thanks for the keys, @Lysol

Aye!
