Trust the Gorton’s Fisherman at The Estate

Trust the Gorton’s Fisherman at The Estate

QIC: Beverly

Date: 6/3/19

PAX: Huckleberry, $5 Foot Long, Balco, Spamalot, Former FNG Fish Sticks, Fokker, Little Piggy

Even though Wake Forest’s graduation was just a few weeks ago, it’s never too early to start hazing exercises on campus, so YHC took 7 pax, including an FNG away from the friendly confines of the Estate to the hallowed grounds of Balco’s alma mater. The good news is that the FNG held his own and all pax approved his initiation. More on that later.

First,the thang:

The Q did a terrible job with the disclaimer but was heavily and sufficiently assisted by $5 Foot Long and Spamalot, who clearly have the credo down much better than I. (Note to self: review F3 mission statement)

Simplified Warm-o-rama:

• Abe Vigodas x 10
• Plank Jacks x 20 HOLD
• Mountain climbers x 20 HOLD
• Peter Parkers x 20
• Recover

Mosey to bridge

• Irkins x 10
• Dirkins x 10

Burpee Light Brigade

Wall work

• Pure BURN #crowdpleaser
  1. Face a wall, fence….anything that you can hold onto; 2. Get in the squat position 3/4 up while holding the fence; 3. On the balls of your feet (tip toes); 4. Pulse 3/4 down to 1/2 (90 degrees) X 10; 5. Pulse 1/2 all the way down X10.
• Turn around and do people’s chair + jack reachers. Quads were toast so we did 9 Jack Reachers.
• Mosey to Manchester Plaza

Red Barchetta (abridged for time)

• 100 yd run – 100 SSHs

COT

• Moji411: See preblast to help support this relay run happening on June 23
• YHC took us out

NMM

• We welcomed Former FNG Gordon McGregor, who $5 Foot Long had EHed for about 3 months. Gordon is an architect and a VT grad, but we ignored all of that and summoned the 80s with the “Trust the Gorton’s Fisherman” jingle and named him Fish Sticks.
• Since the reference to Fish Sticks was lost on our FNG and those of his cohort, here’s a great example of the Gorton’s ads of the 80s.
• YHC is thankful for the 7 who turned up this morning – strong work and good push.
• Huckleberry is a beast at burpees.
• Parking Lot T is overlooked but a great spot for bear crawls or other dubious activities

Huckleberry, thanks for your leadership in keeping the Estate running smoothly. Glad I could be a part of it today!
