Showed up to the gloomy bridge park with bluetooth speaker ready. Mathlete and Terabyte faithfully showed up 5 minutes early. Kimchi pulls into his spot as Chipper shows up to drop off the shovel flag, even though he couldn’t stay for the beatdown; Mammon needed his service this Saturday.
Without the standby faithfuls of Chipper, Hawg, Triple Shift, etc…Troubled Waters was looking to be a more intimate affair after it’s 2nd full week of service. BUT THEN…in came an FNG, of legendary reputation. Ryan Rockefeller. Lifter of pianos, arm breaking arm-wrestler, IT champion of the handicapped, with a towel around his neck and his head full of resolve to his down painment.
Here We Go:
Disclaimer – Mosey to the dirtiest place under the bridge for the C.O.P.
Carioca x2, POW Run, High Knees, Butt kicks until we land at the far end of the park/dirt pit.

30 Count while Torque figures out how to use bluetooth technology, (this is why he EH’d the FNG)

The PAX was encouraged to pace themselves but there’s no escaping the 16minutes of pain that followed. It was long and the more you pushed yourself, the longer it got.
Each PAX gave us a 30 count, after 2 full rounds of 4 sets each movement with 20sec work/10 sec rest interval…except the FNG – who only gave us a 15 count. Watch out for him. He’s got a dark side.
B.O.M.B.S.
7:10. Do we have time for B.O.M.B.S.? Yeah, we have time. Stick to the plan Torque. Quick 30 count to recover from FNG’s cruel trick, explanation of movements & pair up. Pax 1 takes a half lap around the track while Pax 2 starts working on 50 Burpees, 100 OH Claps, 150 Merkins, 200 Big Boy Sit-ups, (and 250 Squats).
We did not have enough time. We limped our sorry behinds into the BBSU’s and walked with our tails between our legs back to the shovel flag.

Chipper couldn’t make the beatdown, but still emptied the fart sack to bring us the shovel flag after he Q’d Thursdays beatdown. That kind of manly commitment deserves to be commended. Similarly, Kimchi basically volunteered to be the long-term Thursday morning Q for TW. He’s an F3 rock. He and Chipper are both HIM, and Troubled Waters is in good hands with them.
The back of the park is a wide open, soft, dirty spot. It’s ideal for some ground and pound. Also, Mathlete pointed out that the tennis courts are open and would make nice spot for suicide sprints. That guy has a unique eye for identifying grueling methods to improve your F1. He’s going to do amazing things. If you ever “Mathlete’s going to Q”. Show up…mentally prepared for a real beatdown.
