Does This Road Go Anywhere?

QIC: Greenspan

Date: 3/23/22

PAX: Burns (EC runner), Van Gogh, Adobe, Subfloor, Crash, High Cotton, Splash, Workbench, Greenspan

Warmarama:

Started slowly, at pax’s request, with typical hamstring stretches, up/down dawg combo, SSHs, Abe Vigodas, Whirlies, and Cherry Pies.

The Thang:

Mosey to bottom of Hill to Nowhere and partner up for round 1 of mountain ascent.  Partner A runs to the top and performs Dive Bombers x 10; Partner B performs merkins AMRAP.  Flip-Flop.

Mosey through the bus lot, which was revving up, to the wall on the backside of the school (within sight of Casa de Zima).  Pax were instructed to have a seat on the wall for the following circuit:

  • Head, Shoulders, Knees, Toes x 25
  • Mike Tysons x 25
  • Can Cans x 25
  • Rebound Drill x 25
  • Donkey Kicks x 25

Mosey back to launch shelter for Mary Tabata; 30 seconds on, 10 seconds recovery.  Exercises were:

  • SSHs
  • ISTs
  • Mountain Climbers
  • WW1s
  • Leg Lifts (NOT H2H)
  • Scissor Kicks
  • Knee Tucks (NOT Gas Pumps)
  • Low Flutters
  • Peter Parkers
  • Gas Pumps
  • Rolling Planks
  • Heels to Heaven
  • Freddie Mercs

Mosey back to bottom of Hill to Nowhere for round 2; Partner A runs to the tops and performs Dive Bombers x 10; Partner B performs squats AMRAP.  Flip-flop.

Mosey to launch for 4-count merkins x 10.

Finished.

NMM:

  • No progress had been made on the hill going somewhere between rounds 1 & 2.
  • Van Gogh pounded out 100(!) merkins before Burns descended the mountain in round 1. And he did it with PERFECT form with 2 or more witnesses.
  • Great to meet Adobe who 1) cruised through the workout and 2) handed out flyers for the outreach convergence (Palin’s birthday) on 4/2/22. T-claps.
  • Workbench, site Q, was satisfied with the QIC’s services by the end of the wall work. Compensation was deducted for the subsequent Mary Tabata and Round 2 of the Hill.
  • Subfloor was moving fast all morning and was still pumping out merkins when his partner returned from the hill.
  • Crash seemed satisfied with his life choices this morning, post-workout.
  • High Cotton is in foot recovery mode and made wise modifications to the called exercises.
  • Splash had a good time and was so excited that he took his shirt off and left it in the parking lot.
    • But not before he got a demo of Perpees (the perfect burpee). He wasn’t a fan.
  • Basking in his 1st F coronation, Burnsy towed YHC on a 2-mile EC pre-workout. We had the opportunity to see many rabbits and discuss progress on his homestead in the Shenandoah Valley.
  • There was much confusion and consternation during Mary Tabata about how Leg Lifts differ from H2Hs and how Knee Tucks differ from Gas Pumps.
  • Positive reviews on the variation of Huck’s 3 merkins. Instead of a 10-count x 3 reps, YHC went the 4-count x 10 reps route.
  • There was relief when YHC did not call “Repeato” on round 1 of the hill & merkins.
  • YHC has incorporated a Mary Tabata in the last 2 Qs, somewhat plagiarizing Cherry Pie. Expect it to continue.

Great to be back at Mayhem after a prolonged absence made all the better by the fine fellows that joined me.

Thanks for the keys, Workbench; you’ll have to go back up the hill again to retrieve them.

Announcements:

  • Birthday party convergence on April 2nd at Hanes Park at 0700. Palin is hosting and asks that regular pax bring a small donation for refreshments.  Workout to be Qed by Spicoli, Seaman, and Crash.  Workout preceded by Q school at 0600, Qed by the new 1st F Q, Burns!

Prayer Requests: 

  • Ukraine.

YHC took us out.
