Yesterday afternoon, YHC received a text from @BAM which said “63 and rainy for your UA Q tomorrow.\u00a0 Yikes.”\u00a0 YHC had not been paying attention to the weather and therefore @BAM’s note came as a surprise.\u00a0 Had planned on a kicka$$ playlist to bolster the hype for this morning’s beatdown but decided not to bring electricity into the mix given the forecast.\u00a0 So we had to just muddle through a cappella (except for the occasional outburst from @RootCanal….)<\/p>\n
There was a whole lot of whining upon arrival.\u00a0 And literal begging, from at least @Burns and maybe more, to head to shelter and dry comfort somewhere.\u00a0 YHC took the whining and begging under advisement and decided to stick with the plan and test the 3rd core principle, particularly the part about “rain or….”<\/p>\n
We did start under the cover of the Bailey Park stage, but didn’t stay there for long…<\/p>\n

Mosey to Vine Street side of Bailey Park under the streetlight, for:<\/p>\n The Thang, Part 1:\u00a0 Streetlights, People….Up and Down the Boulevard…Don’t Stop Believin’<\/strong><\/p>\n Pax take turns calling two exercises and the rolling the dice.\u00a0 Pax run clockwise X number of streetlights (where X = the number of the highest rolled die).\u00a0 Pax perform Y number of reps of first called exercise (where Y = the combined total of both rolled dice).\u00a0 Pax run counterclockwise Z number of streetlights (where Z = the number of the lowest rolled die).\u00a0 Pax perform Y number of reps of second called exercise.<\/p>\n And no, @Burns, YHC can’t recall much of the various combinations for the backblast, but he tried.\u00a0 It did take all 11 rounds for us to circumnavigate the park.<\/p>\n Mosey back under the shelter at the stage, for:<\/p>\n The Thang, Part 2:\u00a0 Craps, F3 Style<\/strong><\/p>\n Pax decide whether to bet Pass or Don’t Pass.\u00a0 One pax is the roller.\u00a0 If roller rolls a 7 or 11 on the first roll, Pass bettors “win” and hold plank while Don’t Pass bettors perform either 7 or 11 burpees, corresponding to the roll.\u00a0 If roller rolls a 2, 3 or 12 on the first roll, Don’t Pass bettors “win” and hold plank while Pass bettors perform either 2, 3 or 12 burpees, corresponding to the roll.\u00a0 If roller rolls a 4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 (aka “the point”), all pax perform corresponding number of reps of exercise called by the roller.\u00a0 Roller then keeps rolling until he craps out (2, 3 or 12), in which case the Don’t Pass Bettors “win” and hold plank while Pass bettors perform corresponding number of burpees.\u00a0 If roller rolls a 7 before rolling the point, Pass bettors win.\u00a0 If roller rolls the point before a 7, Don’t Pass bettors win.\u00a0 It was a confusing good time.\u00a0 And everyone won some and lost some.<\/p>\n 6 MOM<\/strong><\/p>\n LBC x15 IC<\/p>\n Low Dolly x15 IC<\/p>\n Penguin Crunch x15 IC<\/p>\n Mutton

Assault, which YHC helped found sometime back in 2015 or 2016.\u00a0 And no one melted.\u00a0 But almost everyone moaned a lot.<\/p>\n Great to see @PostHole and @Chomper particularly as YHC hadn’t seen either of them in quite a while.<\/p>\n Suttons and Dixons were well represented multi-generationally with Uncle @Mutton and Nephew @LambChop and Father YHC and Son @Frostbite.<\/p>\n @Burlap can probably remember who called what and what we did during Streetlights, People.<\/p>\n @Greenspan kept trying to get people to call Dive Bomber Merkins but then didn’t call them himself.\u00a0 He also panicked a bit when first given the dice and passed his turn under all of the pressure.<\/p>\n Thanks again for the honor and privilege of leading this morning.\u00a0 See you soon.<\/p>\n Your
