July 24th – National Drive Thru Day. Every day is a holiday, you just gotta find it. And this one had an immediate relevance for YHC, as it allowed me to break out a favorite Rudy-Family road trip song.
Yup, Weird Al’s 10 minute “Trapped in the Drive Thru”
Head to the rock pile for a quick warmup with some stretches (while Hokie and PVC disappeared for the mysterious KoT). While stretching, YHC saw the tracks and remembered how weak his balance is. So – lets mosey up to the tracks.
* Try to hold balance and get 5 squats. Once done with that, start walking the rail. Mayhem showed his prematurely old balancing (lack-of) skills, while The Architect was off to the races. YHC did manage to get 5 squats in But it was NOT easy.
Then grab a rock and lets head to the Pavillion for some Tabata.
Round 1 – the PAX were astounded at the riffs, the intricacies of the melody and the story of the drive thru. 10 sets, 45 seconds on 15 seconds rest, going through rock based exercises. The cycle completed just as Weird Al realizes “They forgot the Onions”.
Round 2 – same exercises, but the music this time was July 24th birthdays. Robbie Grey (Modern English – I Melt With You), J-Lo (On The Floor), Kristen Chenoweth (Popular), Marvin the Martian (I’m a Martian).
At this point, Bogey and others seemed VERY upset about the musical choices.
Finally – head to the building for a final round of Wonder Bra’s, celebrating the birthday of the Original Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) while she sang Put the Gun Down.
Mosey back to the flag to the sounds of Eye of the Tiger for our COT.
