What these men have in in common with each other, they most assuredly do not have in common with the Northshore Pax.  More on that later.

Pre-Pre-Thang.  0600

Ei’s personal goal of running 20 miles this week crept its way into the F3 workout this Saturday.  Our normal Pre-Thang 2 miler would have put your humble narrator 1 mile short of previously mentioned goal.  Consequently, a GroupMe pre-blast was, well, blasted…inviting one and all to get 1.1 miles in before the 0610 Pre-Thang.  Takers were Shooter, Turbo, and Splice.  Out to the yacht club and back.

 

Pre-Thang.  0610

Back to the flag after Pre-Pre-Thang to pick up the rest of the Pre-Thangers (can’t remember who all we picked up, so just imagine whoever you want here; it will not affect your experience as a reader of this backblast).  Two mile mosey to the West Side (till I die) of the lakefront.  During Pre-Thang, Grundy timed him self for 1.5 miles and came in at 26 minutes 42 seconds.  Not bad Grundy.  Keep it up.

 

Thang.  0630

Started out with a sarcastic disclaimer (would that make it a “claimer”???), wherein YHC declared himself a professional trainer, expert in all areas of medicine, and recited the Hippocratic Oath (that part is a lie).  Next, brief disclaimer and straight into:

  • SSH X 20 IC
  • IW X 20 IC
  • Mountain Climbers x 20 IC
  • Arm Circles x 20 IC
  • Seal Jacks x 20 IC
  • Windmills x 10 IC
  • Toe Touchers x 10 IC

 

Mosey to the wall for:

  • Bulgarian Split Squat, each leg x 12 – Blackbird claimed he did not know what a “Bulgarian” SS was.  Suspecting jest and that no human could possibly be unaware of the BSS, YHC replied in similar jest that it was the same as a Regular Split Squat, but Bulgarian.  This jest volley was returned with confusion; therefore a description of the exercise in question was given, and Pax proceeded.
  • Freak Nasty’s (actually, Nasties) x 15 IC
  • Baby Box Jumps x 12 OYO – Splice assisted YHC in exercise name modification.  We came up with “Baby BJ’s”
  • Irks x 15 IC

 

Mosey west for:

Improperly described Route 66.  Shoulda been Route 55, however, please refer to preamble.  Route 66/55 consisted of:

  • 30 yard run to headless penis (you had to be there) for 1 burpee
  • 40 yard run to base of bridge for 11 Mountain Climbers
  • Back to you-know-what for 2 burpees
  • Back to start for 9 MC’s
  • ad infinitum (Another lie.  We didn’t really go on forever.  I mean, I have a job and a family. We just descended to zero.  Just wanted to use a little italicized Latin lingo)

 

Mosey across bridge for:

  • Bizz Buzz – Without going into details, this was a total joke.  Penalty for an error in arithmetic by any one member of the Pax was declared to be 5 burpees for the entire Pax.  We never made it to 50, but we made it close with the aid of some assistance (read: cheating).  Cumulative penalty assessed on the Pax equaled 15 burpees.  The Pax was simply unable to muster much morning mathematical manpower.
  • Hip Slappers x 20 IC
  • Jack Webbs.  1:3 Ratio from 10 to 1

 

Back to flag for ninety seconds of Mary:

  • Flutter Kicks IC.  At count 3 we had a request for Fondas.  Count halted immediately at 4.
  • Fondas x 10 IC

 

Countorama, Nameorama, Announcementorama, Prayerorama, Coffeteriaorama.

    Headless Penis?

      Yea. It used to have a head but the city removed it (or at least, I *assume* it was the city). Not sure what it is; seems like a cross between a robot and a bird’s nest. Again, you had to be there!
