Oh When The Bears Come Crawlin In

QIC: Burns

Date: 6.13.25

PAX: Turnover, D-Day, Lamb Chop, Root Canal, Grasshoppa, Drip, Five Dolla, Rubber Ducky, Jane Fonda (DR, Belmont NC), Burns

YHC showed up to the pre-run and assumed it was already gone because Schlitz’ car was there and he wasn’t. I was relieved since I had yet to construct a weinke and needed to do a little bit of set-up for the beatdown. Turns out that Turnover was also late, saw me wander off, and said F it I’m gonna try to catch up to Schlitz and took off running. Schlitz was running 9 miles with Woodpecker, Doublewide, & Greenspan and thus was not on a pre-run…confusion abounds. $5 also did a pre-run of his own. I set up the beatdown, did some stretching, and saw Jane Fonda come down the hill from his hotel at around 0520 and we chatted a bit as the pax came rolling in from all directions. He posted DR from Belmont, NC (corporate adjacent) and is an exercise physiology professor at Gardner-Webb so the pressure was on…we needed good form and a good report back to Metro

WOR: Standard fare. Can’t remember it all but it was definitely great.

THE THANG: Mosey into the coal pit and gather by the stage about halfway through. There were 5 chairs perfectly set up in a line, spaced about 10-15 yds apart. Starting at the stage do 20 Imperial Storm Squatters, then bear crawl to the first chair, do the first exercise on the weinke, and bear crawl back. 20 more ISSs, bear crawl to the second chair, do the first two exercises on the weinke, bear crawl back. So on and so forth, building the pyramid all the way up and then back down if time.

THE WEINKE:

• 20 Imperial Storm Squatters
• ———————–
• 20 Merkins
• 20 Reverse Lunges*
• 20 WWIIs
• 20 Mountain Climbers**
• 20 Dips

*If you have to ask the answer is always double count

**see above

MARY: Wrap up with the thang around 0608 and head back for some Mary. Can’t remember it all but it was definitely great.

NMM: I wish I had written this immediately following the workout. We had an excellent conversation about the merits of asking a pax to photograph their weinke, when it’s appropriate to do so, should visiting pax consider doing so, and whether or not an unsolicited weinke pic would get you in trouble. Root Canal, Drip, and $5 took Jane Fonda under their wing(s) and I’m glad they did because they’re truly some of the best the dashpax have to offer #HIM. Ducky was regaling us with the tale of his pool rescue. Lamb Chop and Grasshoppa were leading the bear crawl charge back and forth. Turnover and D-Day had a lot of complaints about the lack of foresight on the part of the Q, who didn’t move the tables and chairs out of the way of potential bear crawling lanes…it was implied that this would be a topic of conversation at Q School Saturday but I haven’t seen a backblast to know if the 1st F Q followed through on that threat. As a group we made it all the way up the pyramid and back down one level, we sweated profusely, we didn’t run, and we had a great time together.

CoT: Some announcements were shared and some prayer requests were requested. The Q took great mental notes for his backblast but, alas, the weekend erased them.

Spicoli, you were missed! Hope you had a great trip. The keys were on one of the tables outside Incendiary but I think they got tossed aside when Turnover was clearing his path.
