After the sub-Q on Monday I was back to my regularly scheduled birdcage Q today. Word must have gotten out about the fun that was missed or perhaps some were thinking one post under my Q was enough for one week, but the result was 9 fresh faces today to add to 6 repeats from Monday. Lucky for all the birdcage is not known for much running but the aim was to push ourselves none the less.
The Thang:
Disclaimer and mosey around the track to open golf course space for warmups:
- SSH IC X 30
- Imperial walker IC X 30
- Monkey humpers IC X 30
- Peter Parkers IC X 30
- Arm Circles IC X 20 and then revers X 20
Walk over to the pull up station. We will get good at these one way or the other. We split into three groups:
- First group: 30 pull ups as a team. Can be divided up anyway the team chooses though the count should be consecutive and not simultaneous. Somethings are hard to explain in the gloom but we eventually got it right. This is the count
- Second group: plank walk
- Third group: plank jack
- Rinse and repeat.
Scenic route back to the shelter by the flag, grab some bench (a high bench at that) :
- Right leg knee ups IC X 30
- Incline merkin IC X10
- Left leg knee ups IC X 30
- Decline merkin IC X 10
Slow mosey to bandstand for some Mary:
- Putins IC X 20
- Pickle pounders IC X 10
- Dying cockroach IC X 15
- Rosalitas IC X 21
- A brief pause to ask the pax who had shat their pants. The stagnant air of the bandstand seemed to keep it around for a while. A lot of finger pointing though no one fessed up.
- LBC IC X 25
Grab some fresh air in front of the bandstand for our last COP:
- Jack Webs up to ten merkins and 20 airups. Jack Web must have been sadist, albeit an effective one.
Clock running low but just enough time for a jog, bear crawl, crab walk, jog at alternating lights back to track. Finished!
Count off, nameorama, and announcements. Not announced but the pax needs to think about some 2nd F one evening soon. We can decide to invite the World or keep it just uptown ;)! No intentions but a prayer of thanks and a plea for God to make us the best men possible!
