Flawless Execution (For At Least The First 37-38 Minutes)

QIC: Starfish

Date: 5/5/2026

PAX: Frostbite (WB), Bootsie, Lamb Chop, Bevo, Van Gogh, Wobegon, Spicoli, Starfish (WD, QIC)

Welp.  YHC first forgot to start his watch before we launched into the Motivators during Warm-O-Rama and didn’t realize it until our second stop in the other First Pres parking lot.  But YHC was at least able to keep that flaw hidden from the other 7 pax that showed up.  All else was executed flawlessly.  Until it wasn’t at roughly the 37 or 38 minute mark as you can read more about below.

Warm-O-Rama

  • Motivators x8 IC.  (Full SSH for 8x, Half SSH for 8x, Legs Only SSH for 8x, Hops for 8x and then repeato knocking one rep off each round (so 2nd round = 7x, 3rd round = 6x, etc)
  • Imperial Walkers x15 IC
  • Hillbillies x15 IC
  • Mosey to the corner of 2nd and Cherry
  • Copperhead Squats x10 IC
  • Copperhead Merkins x10 IC
  • Mosey to the other First Pres parking lot
  • Peter Parker x10 IC, hold it
  • Parker Peter x10 IC, hold it
  • Mountain Climbers x10 IC
  • (Realize YHC forgot to start his watch and now start it)
  • Mosey to the corner of 3rd and Cherry and cross the street

The Thang, Part One:  Burpee Blocks

Using the rectangle “track” formed by 3rd Street, Town Park Lane, 2nd Street and Cherry:

  • Pax run 1 length (Cherry to Town Park Lane on Third).  5 Burpees OYO.
  • Pax run 2 lengths (Third to Second on Town Park Lane and Town Park Lane to Cherry on Second).  5 Burpees OYO.
  • Pax run 3 lengths (Second to Third on Cherry, Cherry to Town Park Lane on Third, Third to Second on Town Park Lane).  5 Burpees OYO.

  • 5 Sumo Jump Squats OYO.
  • Run down the sidewalk/hill at Merschel Park back to the fire hyrdrant.
  • 5 Trailer Park Merkins OYO.  (Doublewide)
  • Repeato for a total of 5 trips.
  • Prison Cell Burpees for the six.
  • Mosey over to the “right” side of Merschel Park.
  • Say farewell to @Bevo.

The Thang, Part Three:  Three Man Grinders

  • Partner A stays and performs called exercise.  Partners B and C run up the stairs/sidewalk/hill at Merschel Park to 4th Street entrance.  Partner B stays and performs called exercise while Partner C returns to Partner A and relieves him.  Rinse and repeato, taking turns.
  • Round 1:  Manmaker Merkins at the bottom and Alternating Reverse Lunges at top
  • Round 2:  Repeato
  • Round 3:  Diamond Merkins at the bottom and Alternating Side Lunges at top
  • Round 4:  Repeato
  • Round 5:  Alternating Shoulder Taps at the bottom and Monkey Humpers at top

Mosey back to launch.  But take an ill-advised short cut that became a long cut trying to cut through Kaleideum…once we hit the dead end and turned around, some pax hung a right (@VanGogh, @Frostbite @LambChop), some of us hung a left (YHC, @Bootsie, @Spicoli, @Wobegon) but all eventually made it back to the VSF all in one piece.  #Cobains #NobodyIsPerfect

COT/BOM:  YHC took us out

FIN.

NMM

It really was going well.  You’ll have to ask the attendees.  They loved the Motivators.  They really loved the Burpee Blocks (although some complained it was too “WIB-like”.  They tolerated the Prison Cell Burpees whilst waiting for the six.  Triple Nickel was a big hit once @Bootsie figured out how to work it.  And the three man grinders were classic.  And then YHC made the decision to try a slightly different route home and ran into a dead end somewhere over there near Kaleideum.  Ooops.  Oh well.  Just wanted to get our mileage up to 2.7mi+.  At least according to YHC’s 2.3’s watch because, as mentioned above, YHC started his watch a bit late.

It was nice to have some former #Flatline SiteQs in attendance as @VanGogh and @Bevo both made it out this morning just to hear @LambChop give them grief about having not posted at Flatline in a while.

@Spicoli warned YHC via text that he was on the way but still made it in time to join in for the Motivators.

You have all earned your beer and/or margaritas and chips and salsa this evening.  Have fun.  Be safe.

Next week is the Week of Wobegon as he Qs 5 in a row as he turns 50.  #Respect.

It was an honor and privilege to lead this morning.

Your friend and #WarDaddy since @DrToot decided not to post,

Starfish
