GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINES. . .
It looked like it was just going to be the Q, Moses, and Dr. Seuss (no, not THAT Dr. Suess–the other one from "way over there"), but then Kosar comes in with tires squealing at 6:59, shoes untied. He was saved by the Goat, who came even later because he didn't get the memo about a convergence at some other AO that will go nameless. And meeting us on the field at 7:10 is Utah, who had no good excuse but didn't need one because we're just happy he showed up to even up the numbers.
We focused on core and cardio and got sufficient doses of each. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who's sore today. Here are most of the exercises, completely out of order:
GREEN FLAG WAVING. . .
- Mosey (total of a couple miles)
- 50 Goose-Steps
- 50 Girl Fights
- 30 Pirate Ships
- 20 Bobby Hurleys OYO
- 40 Metronomes
- 30 Crab Toe Touches
- 20 Partner Block Swaps
- 40 Bear Squats (on all fours with shins staying parallel to ground, rocking back toward heels, then up again)
- 60-Seconds Table Plank (crab position but with body horizontal)
- 40 Folding Tables (Triceps Dips from Table-Plank position)
- 30 Oblique V-Ups
- 40 Dead Bugs
- 20 Spider Man Merkins
- 40 Metronomes
- 30 Scrunches (legs extended)
- 20 Jacknifes
- 20 I-Hops (one-legged burpees)
- 30 Slow Mason Twists with Rock
- 20 Inchworms with Push-Up
- Home Stretch with rock (1 minute)
- Throw-N-Go Frisbee (10 minutes)
- Ultimate Frisbee (10 minutes)
CHECKERED FLAG. . .
Apparently, YHC is a natural straight man for "That's what she said" jokes, so they gave it to me good. (Go ahead and say it. I'll wait.)*
Throw-N-Go Frisbee wasn't as much fun as it sounds, since it's really just wind sprints with a toy. Still, it was a good distraction that kept the heart rate going. I think it was Kosar's idea to finish up with Ultimate instead of Mary's (since we'd already done so much core work), so the assembled Pax can thank him for going from sprinting to, well, more sprinting.
Moses, Dr. Suess II (in 3-D), and Kosar met at Great Harvest for coffee (tea for me, thank you, since I'm a staunch non-conformist (or maybe I just hate coffee). I opted for an egg and cheese on a biscuit, while Moses went straight for the Bag O' Bacon–an "off the menu" dish that's sure to become a thing.
Coffeechatter was actually in my wheelhouse for once, since we discussed anthropology, artificial intelligence, the Technological Singularity (my favorite topic, which is more interesting than it sounds–Google it) and population growth. Surprisingly, I was outgeeked in this capacity by both Moses and Kosar, with an assist by Dr. Seuss II, but it sure beats someone asking me what I thought of the game last night (blanket response: "I have no idea").
Moses is Q-ing next week while I speak to a bunch of millionaires in Clearwater and strum their fate with my fingers*, so that will be a workout you will be remiss if you miss. Show the Lake Norman OG your support by taking his abuse for an hour and then go talk science over a Bag O' Bacon.
