10:30 Friday night, word arrives that Milkman won’t be able to make his scheduled Mothership Q. Get well soon, Milkman. We will miss your rigorous cadence calls!
But we’ll make do as best we can.
Gloomiest morning of the year. Fog. Dark. Perfect weather for a workout. 14 PAX (including 1 FNG from Baton Rouge) gathered around the Troubled Waters Flag (thanks Kim Chi!) and embarked on a rotating Q workout.
Rudy: Mosey to the lawn in front of the museum for a little Menagerie work
- Peter Parker x25
- Bear Crawl to the tracks and back
- Low Slow Squats x25
- Duck walk to the tracks, Lunge Walk back
- Low Country Crab x25
- Crab Walk to the tracks. Walk Crab back. (or vice versa)
- Imperial Walkers x25
- Frog Jump to the tracks
FracSac: Grabs the Q, leads us on a round-a-bout mosey covering about 25 yards.
- Burpee Broad Jump to the next Tree
- Burpee Broad Jump to the next Tree
- Burpee Broad Jump to the next Tree
In a surprise move, no more burpee broad jump! Instead Partner Up
- PAX 1: Plank. PAX 2: Plank with feet on PAX 1’s back
- PAX 2: Derkins IC x10 while PAX 1 planks
- Then PAX 1: Murkins x10 while PAX 2 planks (feet still on back)
- Flapjack and Repeat
Kim Chi: Takes us to the Museum Stairs for Stairway to Heaven
- 1 Merkin on first step
- 2 Merkin on second step
- 3 Merkin on third step
- 10 Burpees on the landing
- 4 Merkins
- ….
- 11 Merkins at the top
- 5 Burpees
Heisenberg: Moseys us another 25 yards to the Fountain
- Channing Tatum x21
- Dip x20
- Tatum Channing x19 (PAX grumbles about being lopsided)
- Dip x10
Jingle Vader: Bringing us home. YHC looks at watch and sees there are 20 mins left. YHC is appropriately worried about JV deciding to finish with “20 mins of Mary”.
First: Mosey to the Sculpture Wall.
- 10 Box Jumps
- 20 Derkins
Then Mosey to the Great Lawn for 17 minutes of Mary
- Crunches
- Dying Cockroaches
- Dr. W
- Ys, Ts, Ws
- Superman
- Rolling around back and forth for a while (prompting much discussion from PAX as to whether this constituted an exercise or not)
- Putins
- Maybe there were more. I really don’t recall.
7:28. JV calls for a 1 min plank. Rudy sensing an opening ventures to be timer. Plank for “1 minute” (which mysteriously turns to 2 minutes bringing us to 7:30).
JV calls for 15 burpees in the final minute, thinking he has 1 minute left. PAX stage an open revolt and refuse, instead return to the TWSF.
Finish with Countoff (14 PAX strong), Name-o-rama (welcome aboard, Banjo – named thus after describing his interest in classical guitar). Close with a prayer, then off to Morning Call to watch Coxswain once again polish off 2 hot dogs over coffee.
Be Well, Milkman. Look forward to your return soon!
