YHC realized I would not be able to keep a Qmittment for Boomerang at TRQ on 5\/6.\u00a0 A trade was made with Turnover and Thursday came up fast this week.\u00a0 There was an old plan in the back of my mind that some variation had once been used at Purgatory.\u00a0 Hmm same location … this could work.\u00a0 However, last time YHC had Plunger on music duty.\u00a0 No problem I got this.<\/p>\n
I Spotified a playlist of Queen music and recalled some of the exercises that kinda fit with each song.\u00a0 This would be easy. Usually the TRQ crowd is pretty laid back.\u00a0 First problem the playlist was not timed.\u00a0 I remembered Bohemian Rhapsody being very long – that would take a lot of time.\u00a0 We’d be lucky just to finish.<\/p>\n
The second problem was apparent when YHC exited the car.\u00a0 The pax was quite the motley crew featuring PITA ( I always feel like I should capitalize every letter) long lost Hedwig, music expert Starfish, strong MCers Boomerang, D Day, and Rust Bucket, the true respect respect Green Acres, and the Surly one himself.<\/p>\n
The theme was announced, the mission statement and core principles skipped and the music began – oh wait the speaker was still in the car.\u00a0 Did I mention Plunger handled the music last time?<\/p>\n
Mongoose stepped up and led SSHs while the speaker was located.\u00a0 Music take two.\u00a0 Warmups were to Bohemian Rhapsody with variation of exercises as song changes musical styles.\u00a0 That kinda worked as planned.\u00a0 We then started to mosey to the rocks whereupon Whirly arrived at Spicoli time.\u00a0 We did not redo warmup for him however in retrospect that would have been a good idea.<\/p>\n
Pax selected a rock of their choosing for the next tune which almost all guessed would be We Will Rock You.\u00a0 Exercise was 10\/10\/10 repeating of curls, OH press and skull crushers until song finished. Unfortunately, the extended version with We Are The Champions was not downloaded so that was the end of the rocks…or so we thought.<\/p>\n
Next we partnered up.\u00a0 P1 bear crawled up driveway while P2 did hand release merkins.\u00a0 Flap jack upon P1s return.\u00a0 This repeated until end of song which no one guessed after that exercise description.\u00a0 Of course, it was Another One Bites The Dust.\u00a0 This was a real crowd pleaser as most got in 3ish rounds.<\/p>\n
Next up Fat Bottomed Girls which led to a Lt Dan style lunge\/squat trip around the circle.\u00a0 We somewhat kept a 1:4 ratio and increased with 2:8, 3:12, etc.<\/p>\n
Plenty of time left so back to We Will Rock You with different exercises.\u00a0 Bus drivers, Bent over rows and tater sacks aka elf on shelf aka the Haas.\u00a0 Believe we did 2 of these and one more of the first set. Rocks up for good.<\/p>\n
But just enough time for Another One Bites the Dust reprise.\u00a0 Lunge walk was the omahaed mode of transport for P1.\u00a0 HR merkins stayed the same and they were just as hard even with no bear crawls.<\/p>\n
Finally back to start for final song, Bicycle Race called correctly by Starfish.\u00a0 YHC started Mary off with of course The Freddie Mercury, other pax including Starfish, Boomerang, DDay and Green Acres and perhaps one more also called an exercise before I put us out of our misery and stopped the music.<\/p>\n
NMM<\/p>\n
I’ve pretty much covered it above.\u00a0 The MC was coming from multiple directions with this All Star cast.\u00a0 Most was ignored although we did get in both sides several times just for Boomerang.<\/p>\n
Good to see a few old faces – PITA for the second time in a week after a long time, Hedwig and his ever present smile, and Whirly who about this time last year I rode with to Roanoke to buy a bike.<\/p>\n
Speaking of old – 3 double respects in attendance today.<\/p>\n
ANNOUNCEMENTS<\/p>\n
Q School 5\/15 – seemed directed at today’s Q. Perhaps they will teach how to play music during your Q<\/p>\n
Starfish needs Qs and pax for Greenest 5\/1 and 5\/15<\/p>\n
Blood Drive 7\/3 more deets coming from Splash and D Day<\/p>\n
There is some other volunteer opp that BAM has put out there that D Day seemed to know a little about.\u00a0 See Slack or BAM not D Day.<\/p>\n
COT<\/p>\n
Sour Mash and Schneider’s mother<\/p>\n
Starfish’s parents in their new living arrangement<\/p>\n
Think that was it but if I missed something please comment<\/p>\n
