On a beautiful Spring morning, 22 ready and willing pax gathered at Purgatory for YHC’s first bootcamp Q as a double respect.\u00a0 This called for a workout that was both challenging but easy for the Q to remember what we were supposed to do.<\/p>\n
We began on time – even Bulldog was already out of his truck.\u00a0 Another pax would join us later and suffer some slight ridicule.\u00a0 In a large circle we performed several Warmorama standards and then upon the late arrival of The Pony Express (hmm some irony there) the pax did 5 burpees.\u00a0 Thanks Pony<\/p>\n
We then moseyed to the other parking lot and got in a little dynamic warmup with high knees, butt kickers, Apollo Creeds, caraokes, and Zuck bounds.<\/p>\n
We then moseyed over to the corner of the track near the backstop and YHC introed the wrestling drill portion of the workout.\u00a0 YHC seems to have a reputation since both site Q Lemming and BAM seemed to request\/predict there would be wrestling something during the day’s events.\u00a0 Some pax were surprised to see how similar wrestling drills were to some exercises we call by other names.\u00a0 We got in single leg shots (aka alternating lunges), standups (aka stand ups) and sit outs (aka Dry Dock Crabs which most who had attended a DQQ expected at some point).\u00a0 Final corner was a bridge drill (maybe we don’t do anything quite like these).\u00a0 Just before this corner pax got a quick life lesson story “Mr. Watanabe does not miss”\u00a0 https:\/\/www.olympic.org\/news\/flawless-watanabe-secures-featherweight-wrestling-gold<\/p>\n
At the suggestion of the late Pony Express – that doesn’t sound right – we circled the track again and picked up litter that was around the basketball court.\u00a0 Some pax decided this could be a chance to take a break but we had things to do so onward to the rock pile.<\/p>\n
A medium rock was suggested for the next event and due to the large number of pax we moseyed over to the field to perform BLIMPS – 5 burpees with rock, 10 lunges moving forward with rock, 15 Imperial Storm Troopers with the rock, 20 Merkins rock not required, 25 plank jacks rock not required, and 30 squats with the rock.\u00a0 Goal was to travel to from line near playground equipment to the baseball infield. When first pax got there we all would be done.<\/p>\n
Rocks were returned and we made the short trip to the Lido deck.\u00a0 Those with at least one Covid shot were allowed to stay at the top and others were banished to the lower levels.\u00a0 One round of step ups r\/l, irkins, dips, an on the fly extra of running with scissors, and derkins were completed.<\/p>\n
We had just enough time for a little more running which was a quick uphill suicide.\u00a0 We then moseyed back to launch for some Mary led by YHC and several other respect and double respect pax.\u00a0 LBCs, protractor, low flutters, drying cockroaches, maybe something else and nonMary that Boomerang called of 5 burpees and 5 merkins.<\/p>\n
Done at 8:00 on the dot.<\/p>\n
NMM<\/p>\n
It was great to see a large number on a beautiful morning.\u00a0 Good age range from 11 to 62 with 2 double respects and 3 triple hates.<\/p>\n
Sorry for not recognizing Woodpecker when he came up to speak to me before we started.\u00a0 Had met him last Friday at BBBC.\u00a0 #itwasdarkerthen<\/p>\n
Good to meet Airball.\u00a0 Think I had seen everyone else before but I’m old and I could have forgotten.<\/p>\n
Thanks for humoring me on wrestling drills.\u00a0 MC re wet ground was ignored.<\/p>\n
Good to see Sgt Schultz back out.\u00a0 YHC checked on him at the end of BLIMPS and moseyed with him to return rocks. Then he sprinted off and left me behind with D Day and BAM.\u00a0 #guesshesalrightnow<\/p>\n
Got into short Talking Heads conversation with Splash and High Cotton.<\/p>\n
Counting and keeping up with correct letters during BLIMPS were somewhat of a challenge but thanks to Tinker and D Day we made it to our goal in what was 3-4 rounds for most pax.\u00a0 Burlap enjoyed the throwback to BLIMPS.\u00a0 Rocks were a late idea that seemed to work.<\/p>\n
Always good to join the Purgatory pax.\u00a0 Lots of good MC and hard work always gets done.\u00a0 Sorry to have missed coffeeteria – had an early tee time.<\/p>\n
