Halfpipe – from Russo

Date:2021-06-29
QIC:Russo
PAX:Akbar, Chewy, Cowbell, Hogs Breath, Jose10k, Russo

Pax of 6 this morning at not-quite-as-miserably-hot-and-humid Granny’s, including Jose10k, who YHC feels might have been inadvertently duped into “little or no running” because he saw YHC as Q.

Warmup (10-15x IC)
– Seal jacks
– Air presses
– Imperial walkers
– Windmills
– Arm circles
– Self love

Thing before the thang
3 rounds of 10 freak nastys on the blue benches
2 round of 10 step ups (2 is 1)

We then moseyed through the woods to the tunnel of love, where YHC’s flashlight app finally worked for the first time since Bush was president (the broccoli hating one).

Thang
YHC called it “the halfpipe” for the tunnel’s resemblance to a skateboard halfpipe, or at least as close as we could get in south LA. I wanted to change into my Vision streetwear and chucks, but decided there was no time.

Simple 4-3-4 reps of merkins, mosey down and back up between: 4 at the top, 3 mid pipe, 4 at the top again.

Round 2 switched to Groiners and a 3-4-3 rep count.

Mosey back to the pilot house and with around 10 minutes left, we did the thing after the Thang:

Choose your own adventure: Pax chose option A: calf raises up and down the pilot house steps, where, among mumble chatter about accountant analytics, probabilities, and the pros and cons of choosing options A vs. B, YHC heard the best out of context quote so far this year: “Runners are the worst!!” Two thumbs up.

Choose your own adventure continued with option B, a merkin wave of 6.

We wrapped up with “the hands of time”, where pax does one leg raise and holds the low position until each person completes the rep (Rinse and repeat 6 times), and 10 “contractually obligated” crunchy frogs.

COT time, including count, Name-o-Rama, announcements, and prayer, where we noted keeping all those traveling in our thoughts.

Reminder about a busy third full week of July:
21st: Gnarly Nutria
22nd: Mixer
24th: Thibodeaux visit to see Goose

A thank you to the 5 folks pushing me today and letting me lead, and to the rest of you for continuing to be quality individuals.
