Hey, we’re going the wrong way! Joined by 8 PAX, YHC led the group from the shovel flag on our opening mosey and went LEFT. Yes, LEFT. Time for something different.
A normally sticky, humid NOLA morning. YHC arrived at Pontiff a few minutes early to experiment with Pokemon Go – and sure enough, found 2 pokemon in the morning gloom. But enough of that, time to get serious. The PAX arrived, YHC gave a disclaimer, and at 5:30 they were off.
(Maverick came rolling in hot insisting that YHC’s watch must be wrong. Whatever.)
The Warmup: From the flag, head left and follow the path. Stop at The Forest for a Plank Fest. Start with SSH x25, then plank up. Peter Parker, Mountain Climber, Parker Peter, Murican, and close with Plank Jacks. Nice work PAX holding form throughout!
The Mini-Foundry: Back to the path, continue the loop around the park. At the mini-foundry, PAX divided into 5 stations: Burpees (10x, the timer), Decline Murican, 90 degree hang with Knee Lift, Pull ups, and Low Slow Squat (a late substitute since the Row bar was waaaay tooooo low.) Repeat the circuit to ensure that Side Effects would maintain proper form.
Quad Stop: Back to the path, keep looping. One almost-missed turn later, stop by the shed. 3 Stations: Lunge Walk (the timer), Alternating Channing Tatum/Tatum Channing, and a People’s chair. One stop at each station only. Need to make it to the rock pile.
Rock Pile: Back to the path, on to the rock pile. We’re done moseying, so feel free to go big. YHC went big, and soon regretted that choice. Marlin – what’s that by the tree? Why, its a DECK OF CARDS! I wonder how that got there? 2 5-minute rounds of Deck of Death. Clubs = Curls, Spades = Presses, Hearts = Rows, Diamonds = Muricans. Half-way through, Side Effects rescued YHC from his rock selection. Thank you. Drop the rocks. OH WAIT – Bogey wants to go on? OK – we’ll keep going until we hit a face card, just because you asked.
Drop the rocks, and finish with a quick round of Mary: Flutter Kicks, Dying Cockroach, and American Hammer.
Mosey back to the flag to complete the Pontiff lap.
Finish with countoff, Name-o-Rama, Announcements (check your email for upcoming CSAUP activities). Prayers for all intentions, and in particular for Tool, Brady and their whole family. Thank you God for the gift of another day. Give us the wisdom, perseverence and guidance to use this gift to better serve you.
Thanks for the opportunity to be your Q for the day.
Nice work Rudy. Now I’ve gotta get the Pokemon App. Damn it.
Btw – I tried to EH the guy (Wagner) who was the leprechaun at ND in real life and in the film Rudy. Random ND stuff that most likely only you would be interested in.
Ah – I’ll start pressing Dan too. I usually see him at a game watch or two. He’d be great at calling out cadences!!!
I have not clue what this pokeyman stuff is, but it must be similar to twitting or whatever.
