Mugginess, Math and Meteors
QIC: Fender
Date: 8/12/2021
PAX: Crash, Hooker, Schneider, Drip, Fender
On this muggy morning in the gloom a handful of studly PAX joined YHC for a little research under a beautiful meteor shower filled sky. YHC was curious about the upcoming 5,000 rep challenge and wanted to get an image of time necessary for its completion. The guinea pigs,… uh…. I mean… PAX were able to accomplish the following in the 45 minute allotted time.
Warm-o-rama
- 20 SSH
- 20 WWII
- 20 Merkins

NMM
- PAX wanted to warm up, so we started each round with SSH instead of my intended burpee start. Gotta keep the crowd positive.
- MC was going strong for the first couple of rounds. After that all one could hear was gasping for air.
- Everyone was noticing the Persied Meteor shower. YHC spotted two bright fire balls flying across the sky. Others saw many more.
- Schneider noted he has a unique counting strategy specifically formulated for a Fender workout. I’m not smart enough to describe it though. Something to do with quantum physics I think.
- Nice to meet Hooker. He said he did some burpees. His name made me want to go fishing. Unfortunately my arms are too week to cast the line right now for some reason.
- Drip was a beast behind a beaming smile this morning! Strong work and a good push for YHC after too many cookies!
- Crash discovered that some exercises get double reps when done in cadence. I think I actually saw a light bulb go off over his head at that moment, but it might have just been one of those meteors.
Great job by all PAX. If you do the math, collectively we hit the 5,000 rep mark! Honored to lead this fine group of HIM’s this morning. Had to break in this morning because the site Q wasn’t present with the keys. We left it better than we found it though.
