5:29:30 – 9 PAX in the gloom start to realize that our designated Q – who so so boldly announced his Q intentions to the world (or at least to slack) – was going to no-show. YHC looked around and saw Mahatma getting ready to claim the Q. As YHC has experienced the Mahatma Q, I spoke up and grabbed it just in the nick of time. I think I heard Mayhem whispering “Whew…”
BTW – Welcome back to the fold, Babyface! Great to see you in the gloom!!
With the disclaimer given, the PAX were off to the rock pile. Quick warmup with some SSH, IW and such. Gives YHC a few moments to formulate a plan – lets grab a rock and head to the football field.
Midway to the football field, YHC called an audible and stopped by the playground. 5 stations of Pull Ups, Merkins, Squat Thrusts, Burpees and LBCs. 2 rounds through, while TripleShift showed up just in the nick of time (i.e., 15 mins late).
Next up – off to the field. Start with a Dirty MacDeuce. We were short 1 rock, so whoever was rock-less for an exercise would just do burpees while everyone else exercised.
Round 1: Shoulder Press (mahatma drew the short straw). Then lunges and LBTs. 1 Lap.
Round 2: Curls (Triple got it), Slow Squats (Hand Gernada was burpeeing), Flutter Kicks. 1 more Lap
Mahatma had now had enough and demanded that a REAL Q step up. So Mahatma took over. All Day Baby! Everyone lift rocks overhead. We’re 1 short, though??? No big deal – 1 PAX to the middle for 5 burpees, then pass off a rock. Can the PAX keep the rocks overhead while we get through all 50 burpees? All PAX but 1 (“Rudy”) made it.
Line up for a Merkin Lineup. shoulder-to-shoulder, Lotsa merkins, side crawling, hand slapping fun.
Creative stuff, Mahatma!
Return the rocks, some last Mary and back on our horses to get to the flag.
COT, Announcements and Prayers. Thanks to all for giving us the chance to lead!
