Conditions: Mild temperatures, Wet, Damp, Humid, overcast. Although the rain stopped there was plenty of standing water so we could get our shoes and backsides soaked.
***Great post exercise story below too. One new FNG on the way!***
After getting over our disappointment that the rain had stopped we moseyed to the sundial for warmups consisting of Abe Vigodas, Austin Ass Kickers, 21’s and Bat Wings
Following warm ups, we descended the Knoll to come up the other side doing lunges. The purpose of the lunges was to make the group look like Zombies from the Walking Dead. It worked.
Assembling on the rugby pitch for Bearway to Heaven with Merkin Ladder, Q neglected to instruct the PAX to do a bear crawl between Burpee and Merkin intervals so the group just ran the first set. Rocket and Yes Dear were going fast and appearing to enjoy it so bear crawl requirement was reinstated for subsequent sets.
Captain Thor Big Boy Sit Ups were next followed by a mosey down the Knoll so we could run up backwards 5 times doing the Bernie Sanders. Bern set in after rep 2
Next, we moseyed to a spot with adequate mud and water for the Crunchy Frog exercise. Q’s cadence at this point sounded like a frog.
Ending with an All You Got Run showed we had left it all somewhere back on the field with Moneycat’s car keys.
Add-on by Worms:
In the rain, lakes and mud Moneycat’s key fob fell out of his zipped jacket pocket somehow. Most of the Pax had already left but the few remaining, Snackpack, Two-Shoes, Moneycat and Worms searched every inch of the park where we travelled and especially where he’d laid his jacket that morning but no luck. We called a known auto locksmith, Tigers Locksmith, (an on-the-road key programming shop) but he wasn’t answering at the moment so I left a message. We then called Popalock and they had someone on the way. Then the Tiger Locksmith called back and said that “if you don’t have the fob then you still can’t start that car without the fob and the key”. Fooey. So I called the Popalock and said not to bother coming since Popalock could only open the car door to get Moneycat’s key but he’d still be stuck there since it was the key fob somewhere out there in those 96 acres of grassy knoll. Popalock asked about the kind of car so they knew that but they failed to tell us that their guy could only get into the car and could not give him a way to drive the car. I told Moneycat that we were not going to push him home while his engine was off and his transmission in park. If it was in neutral I’m sure the 3 of us could grab that rear bumper and push Moneycat home since its only 12 miles to his home, but not with the wheels locked. I said no way. So Drew of Tiger Locksmith showed up and he and Moneycat had a great time. Turns out Drew Mulvanah is a Brother and is from New Zealand and he is very interested in F3. He’s supposed to post with us soon! Good work Moneycat for EHing the new man! What a way to make friends other than over a beer!
