QIC: Starfish

Date: 3/30/2019

PAX: Lemming, Boomerang, Mongoose (WB), Lysol (WDE), Blue Light Special, Offsides, Sergeant Schultz, D-Day, Spamalot, Green Acres (WD), Goofy, The Pony Express, BAM, Burlap, Starfish (QIC)

We were having a nice leisurely pre-Purgatory stretching session and catching up on the events of the week at about 0655 when this silver car blasting Auburn’s fight song pulls into the parking lot on two wheels with a former #Nantan hootin and hollerin about #Tigers and #Eagles and doin’ donuts through the Speas parking lot.  @Mongoose threw his glove at said intruder and then the intruder ran over him with his car.  See the photographic proof on the #Twitterverse.  #TruthNugget #FakeNews.  The intruder then hopped out of his car sporting an Auburn jersey #86 supporting the last year until last night that AU reached the #EliteEight.  There’s more photographic proof of that display on the #Twitterverse as well.

Appropriately stretched out and with a suprising number of mourning #Tarheels in attendance, including @Goofy, the aforementioned @Mongoose, and @Burlap and a much more professional #EliteEight participant @Spamalot who at least acted like #BoilerUp had been there before unlike the aforementioned #Tigger intruder, and with #Disclaimer issued, 14 total pax launched with only a #VirtualShovelFlag having been planted.  And it went something like this…

Warm-O-Rama

  • SSH x20 IC (aka #OkekePoints according to #NantanEmeritus)
  • IW x15 IC
  • Abe Vigoda x10 IC
  • Whirly Got The Clap x10 IC
  • Copperhead Squats x20 IC
  • Hillbillies x15 IC
  • Manmaker Merkins x10 IC, hold it
  • Peter Parker x10 IC, hold it
  • Parker Peter x10 IC

Mosey to Lido Deck.

The Thang:  Part 1:  Lido Deck Circuit with Jump Rope Interruption

Pax form a circle square on the Lido Deck benches.  Pax perform escalating circuit while each pax takes turn in center of circle square with Jump Rope x97 (aka #WDEPoints per #NantanEmeritus) OYO.  #Omaha to x80 for everyone except #WarDamnEagle who still had to do x97.

Circuit:

  • 1 Derkin
  • 1 Right Leg Step Up
  • 1 Left Leg Step Up
  • 1 Irkin
  • 1 Dip
  • And then repeat circuit with escalating number of reps each round until all pax have jumped rope.

Mosey to rocks.

The Thang:  Part 2:  Rock Circuit with Farmer Carry Interruption

Pax each grab a lifting rock and form a circle next to the rockpile.  Pax perform escalating circuit while each pax takes a turn farmer carrying a 25 lb and a 35 lb kettlebell around the mini track/circle next to rockpile.

Circuit:

  • 1 Skullcrusher
  • 1 Overhead Press
  • 1 Curl
  • 1 Upright Row
  • 1 Goblet Squat
  • 1 Louganis
  • And then repeat with an escalating number of reps each round until all pax have farmer carried.

Mosey to field.

The Thang:  Part 3:  Dora 1-2-3 with Partner Sandbag Carry Interruption

Partner up.  Height somewhat matters.  Partner A runs to tennis ball (~50m) while Partner B stays and performs exercise.  Flapjack and rotate until partner team hits quota of each exercise.  Teams take turns partner carrying the sandbag (65 pounds) to the tennis ball (~50m) and back and then resume the Dora.

  • 100 Trailer Park Merkins
  • 200 Sumo Squats
  • 300 LBCs

Each team took two turns with the sandbag.

Mosey back to #VSF.

  • Heels to Heaven x1 IC

COT/BOM:  YHC took us out.

@Mongoose recovered well after having been run over by #WarTigger and completed every circuit.  Helps that somehow he was the #WarBaby today.  Which means we all need to be EHing younger dudes as we are all getting old.  #PurgatoryInNeedOfGentrification

@Butter nor @Butter’sHair was in attendance after a strong #Twitter and #GroupText game last night.  #TooMuchTitos?

#Tclaps and #Cobains to the #Tarheels in attendance for the format this morning which was originally intended to keep all of us together to focus on #2ndF but ended up subjecting all of us to way too much #Gloating over #EastAlabamaMaleCollege’s #EliteEight historic run.

YHC and the rest of the deacon fans in the house should have only had to do 11 jump ropes since that’s the number of games our #RetainedHeadCoach was able to eke out this year.  #FootballSchool, right @Schultzy, @BlueLightSpecial and @Boomerang?

@BAM belched a couple of times.  @D-Day was the strongest #Thor in attendance.  @TPE showed amazing #FarmerCarrySprinting ability and is probably home working on his @FarmersOnly.com profile as we speak.  @Lemming weathered (along with @BlueLightSpecial) having to do back-to-back sandbag carries.  @GreenAcres was there to greet us at the end and joined in for #Mary.

Here’s the playlist which are all bands I’ve seen or will see in Austin:

  • Purgatory (Tyler Childers)
  • Total Football (Parquet Courts)
  • NY Money (White Denim)
  • On Guilty Pleasures (Quiet Company)
  • Banditos (The Refreshments)
  • Sunshine Rock (Bob Mould)
  • Sunny Love Song (Bob Mould)
  • Dylan Thomas (Better Oblivion Community Center)
  • For the Lonely Ones (Lucero)
  • Bodys (Car Seat Headrest)
  • Sisyphus (Andrew Bird)
  • Future Me Hates Me (The Beths)
  • Concrete (Shame)
  • Passive Aggressive (Robert Ellis)
  • Save It For Later (The English Beat)  #RIPRankingRoger

It was an honor and privilege to lead this morning.  Hope you enjoyed it.

Your friend,

Starfish

    YHC and the Q were partners for Dora, proving that height only sort of mattered. Although Lysol and burlap were perfect match in height and hair for Dora.

    The mismatched kettlebells helped pax handle the turns better, and prompted some Days of Thunder references. #freeassociation #coletrickle #matchedtires #moonshine

    Outstanding time this morning! Some real Burlap and Mongoose are professional jump ropers. Not a miss between them. Offsides seriously misjudged his rock size choice. Great seeing Greenacres again. One more week until sling comes off!!

    Starfish promised fun and delivered. YHC has not witnessed Lysol being that happy since… well, never have I witnessed Lysol that happy. Special thanks to D-Day for warning me to stay back from BAM on a mosey as BAM was “crop dusting”. Typical for BAM. The rock that Offsides chose was no joke. And Pony was indeed moving with the KBs. Disturbing to think of him at home in front of a monitor, perving on farmersonly.com. YHC viewed my partnership with Lysol on this sad morning as penance for my many sins of the past years. Great job, Starfish!

    Oh what wonderful morning it was! Happy as an Eagle in flight! It was wonderful to see so many of YHCs closest PAX friends and know that YHC could play a role in lifting their spirits! The surly one was especially warm and receptive to YHCs expressions of glee #gloatwhilstyoucan #catslooming

    Per usual, Sir Starfish kicked all of our butts with a rendition of #Monotonyandmusic

    Thx 2 all Purg PAX for puttin’ Up w/ YHC, March madness on the plains = Spring Football not basketball.
