Lesson of the day – Finish what you start…

QIC: Tigger

Date: 4/12/21

PAX: Spamalot, Drip, Huckleberry, Burns (WB), Lace, Work Bench, Crash, Michael Bolton, Van Gogh, Dr. Toot, Green Acres (WD), Tigger (QIC).

YHC has not been a very attentive site Q – other than arranging awesome Q’s. So today’s beatdown was planned as a self punishment for recent poor attendance. As I pulled into the front circle I saw a strange man laying down on his back and thought to myself, wow this dude had a rough night. Don’t worry, it was just Green Acres. The rest of the PAX began rolling in and the circle kept expanding (YHC should really start milking injuries more because the support when you come back is awesome)!

Core Principle’s: Nailed it

Warm-o-rama: SSH, ABE, Whirley, Stretchy Thingy’s, Calf Stretch, Arm Swirly thingy’s (Dr. Toot decided to do burpees in protest – He didn’t know the Q had burpees built into the beatdown).

Thang: Indian Run around to the back where the teachers park (Not long enough of a mosey for everyone to make it through) – Q is 0-1 in finishing what we started…But it was fun.

1. At the bottom of the lot the pax were instructed to either broad jump or lunge walk 3 spots up and lunge walk 1 spot back & perform 5 burpees (sorry Toot)- repeato until you reach the end of the first lot & then pick up the 6. (1-1 in finishing what we started!).
2. Mosey (read as walk 10 feet) to the next lot where the pax were instructed to run suicides by touching every 3rd line (Was it easier to count 1,2,3 over and over or count by 3’s, Spam?) & perform 3 merkins each time you came back to the start. (some finished, YHC did not – 1-2 in finishing what we started).
3. Mosey to the Bus lot where we found more lines on pavement. Pax were instructed that they would be doing suicide’s again but would not be running. Hmmmm.
   • We performed bear crawl/crawl bear suicides by touching each line (Someone, maybe Huck(?) asked if there was an exercise to complete here but before YHC could come up with something stupid, Van Gogh said no, you’ll feel these enough. He was right. (Again some finished, YHC did not – 1-3 in finishing what we started).
4. Mosey to the playground for a little ladder work.
   • 12 Pull Up’s  & 1 Lt. Dan (Thanks Lamb Chop) – Drip seemed to think the number of pull ups was excessive. I shrugged it off and chalked it up to him not being able to handle it. I was wrong in my assumption. The number of pull ups was indeed very excessive. Sorry Drip. YHC Then asked Huck what number he was on and told everyone to stop when he finished his last set. (1-4 in finish what we started).
5. The plan on paper was to then mosey down to the soccer field and bear crawl the entire length before returning to the launch but seeing as the field was wet and YHC didn’t want to ruin a new pair of awesome kicks, an Omaha was called and the Pax returned to the launch and instructed to partner up for a standard 100  Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s Dora. (Lace’s group and maybe VG’s group finished, YHC did not (1-5 in finishing what we started).

FIN

Mumbles

• There were a lot of mumbles that YHC couldn’t really make out early on. Lace and Huck doing broad jumps was something that many of us mere humans didn’t believe was possible.
• Dr. Toot and Green Acres continue to be men amongst boys. #RespectRespect
• Michael Bolton still hasn’t missed an Iron Throne (this has become a thing. How long can the streak go?) You would make an incredible site Q. Just sayin.
• Drip is literally the nicest human being YHC has ever met and I was lucky enough to partner up with you for the Dora – thanks for the push.
• Spam does an excellent job at the helm by showing up to many AO’s. Thanks for your leadership
• Burns and VG demonstrated correct form….on everything. While it is no surprise, it is impressive nonetheless
• YHC is severely ADHD, hence why the pax was not allowed to finish much/if any of what they started today. Got things to do!

Announcements

Prayers

I had a lot of fun with you men this morning and I am grateful that you showed up to push me!
