DashWIB Gives THANKS

QIC: Starfish

Date: 11/23/2017

PAX: Goofy, Lite Brite (WD), Van Gogh (WB), The Singing Cowboy, Schneider, Fingers, Plunger, Whirly, Palin, Starfish(Q)

Thanksgiving morning at 6am sharp, we ran the THANKSgiving DashWIB.  Gathered at Speas parking lot and then wondered where @CherryPie was and headed towards College Park Baptist Church like we did last year.  It’s tradition.

The Thang

Hang a right out of the Speas parking lot onto Polo Road and run like you stole something all the way to College Park Baptist at the corner of Polo and Wake Dr.

@Goofy was either tackled by @Palin or tripped over a crack in the sidewalk and scared @SourMash so much that he turned around and went home. @Goofy showed he was worthy of #Respect by picking himself up, dusting himself off, and proceeding on with the beatdown.  Tclaps.

At sidewalk:  3 Turkish Getups

Run to first parking lot entrance:  3 Hand Release Merkins

Run to next corner:  3 Alternating Side Lunges (each side)

Run to second parking lot entrance:  3 Nolan Ryans (each side)

Run across parking lot to Ransom Rd. entrance:  3 Knerkins

Run to corner of Ransom and Polo:  3 Squats

Rinse and repeat, escalating in multiples of three each lap (so second lap, 6 of each exercise and third lap, 9 of each exercise and so forth)

Everybody got in 6+ circuits and 2.5+ miles.  18 Turkish Getups is no joke.

At 6:40am AYG back to Speas to get ready for Thanksgiving at TRQ.

COT/BOM:  @Plunger took us out.

NMM

@LiteBrite was suffering from deja vu all over again.  @Fingers listened to “Alice’s Restaurant” over three times.  @Schneider wore @LiteBrite’s tights.  @VanGogh, @LiteBrite and @Plunger were our #LarryBirds for the morning but all 10 of us burned a bunch of calories and got a lot of work in before 6:45am.  @TheSingingCowboy wasn’t excited until we heard Wayne Newton during the preamble of #TRQ.  @Whirly suggested that next year we celebrate Hanksgiving so as to pass on the Turkish Getups.  And he didn’t even stick around for #TurkishPrison at #TRQ.

Thanks and tclaps for keeping the tradition alive.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Happy Thanksgiving

@Fingers has an extra seat at the Forsyth Jail and Prison Ministry breakfast next Thursday (11/30).  Kerry King is speaking.  See @Fingers if you’re in town and interested.

    It’s like having some secret code breaker hack to be able post a comment while the website is broke!
    Good stuff! Sorry to be out of town and miss this “tradition”. Boys on St. Simons were more laid back, didn’t spell anything.

    YHC hates Turkish Get-ups but enjoyed the convo with @Schnieder. TClaps for hanging out with me.

    Enormously grateful for the quality of men I have become friends with in F3. Means more than you know.

    TClaps also to @Starfish for the #Tradition.
