So let YHC dive into the details of the spectacular workout YHC had planned… Ok, scrap that – who cares b/c most of us barely got a workout in, and certainly everyone (except maybe some pax running the P200) have seen the fire, medic and police lights on Twitter, so no one is opening this BB to see what YHC planned or what any of us sorta tried to accomplish. Although as ya might expect – with Kosar as 1 of the 4 team captains, he took his team off for the workout. Screw all the entertainment!
So…. YHC arrived with about 8 kettle bells and began to set up for a great workout that would never happen. Carrying a couple/few bells at a time to the courtyard by the intersection, YHC did note the loud music coming from a car stopped at the light (didn’t occur to YHC to see if the light was red or green – and this is called foreshadowing). YHC went back for more bells as pax began to arrive with additional extra bells per YHC’s text requests. As YHC set up, multiple times there were some honks at the intersection. First a polite “beep-beep” but then some others laying on the horn in frustration. Eventually, YHC realized that might be the same car still at the intersection. About the time of that realization, Blackbeard appeared from the gloom as he and Titan wrapped up their standard. Blackbeard called out that the vehicle was there earlier. Now that both of us recognized it had been there for potentially 30 or more mins, we grew concerned and the pax jumped into action. Multiple pax approached the car from the sides and behind – not from in front for safety. We tapped on the hood, the banged on the hood and doors. When the man behind the wheel (sitting straight up, eyes closed and unresponsive) did not awaken we called 911 (Frontier and YHC both until YHC realized we were doubling down and causing chaos for the 911 operator.
Fire was the first to arrive (we think there might be a fire station nearby…). Then very quickly medic, then a police car. Then another police car, an then they were everywhere and the intersection was full of lights! And ah-ha there’s PONCH!!! Was impressive to see Ponch at work and in charge. By COT the pax voted unanimously to include Ponch in the pax list as after all he did more than the rest of us and was pretty much there the entire time!
We let them know what we’d witnessed and attempted, then the 1st responders worked together to attempt to awaken the man. Eventually he woke up, yada yada yada, door opened, man on ground, man arrested, etc.
Kosar’s team may have been the only team to hit all 4 stations (entrance to greenway, new brewery courtyard, Veteran’s Memorial and bench press area of DPK). The other 3 teams stayed nearby and within sight of all the activity. There were many exercises done and lots and lots of contemplation over what the pax was witnessing. Someone may have broken a sweat, but not many, and not YHC.
2 FNGs posted today – go figure! They didn’t get much of a workout but boy did we set the bar high regarding the wow-factor of F3!!! They joined us for coffeteria at Lowe’s and will both be posting for their 2nd post at The Sword on Monday.
YHC recommends we don’t share much more detail about what we witnessed other than what’s been written above, but HIGHLY recommend the replies be focused on the nicknames to be awarded on Monday.
One FNG was actually EH’ed at The Wilderness the day before. He was in his car, drove by the pax exercising as he took his daughter to school. When he saw us again on his way home, he stopped to inquire about who we were and what we were doing. New to the area, he was excited to find a group to exercise with! Gotta be the first guy ever EHed by all the pax while he was in his car driving by!?!?! So submit some names. “Drive-by” for example. I believe his hospital name is something like Eylario Kiendo (butchering that no doubt).
FNG 2 was EH’ed but Turnpike who let Ultraman and YHC know the day before that Kalyan would be attending and for us to look out for him. Kalyan’s nickname absolutely must be derived from the events of this morning. Ideas I’ve heard and/or suggested include: Passed Out, 911, Unresponsive, Last Call, Asleep at the Wheel, Stoplight, Green Means Go.
Chime in, pax!
Hilario- drive by, speed, queen, Freddy, (as it was at queens corner) what was he driving? Civic, Prius, etc
Other fng- dazed and confused, 911, red light,
BMW I believe
So Kalyan and I have the same 2-up manager, but I assure you he is way smarter than YHC. I was thinking something cool like “A.I.” or something techy. He also used to work in Cyber Security. Maybe we can give him the name that Ponch wishes he had…”Skynet”? Or something really awesome like “The Matrix”? Open to all the suggestions mentioned above though!
Will probably be determined on Monday at his 2nd post but I feel like it’s gotta be something related to what happened this AM at his 1st post. Just too rare of an event to not use it.
IF you want it to be something related to those events you have to make it odd enough that people will ask.
Or else they’ll just assume he is a cop or something with names above. Call him “Sleep Light” Sleeping at a stop light. You meet a Sleep Light and you have to ask how he got that name
I hear ya and agree. We want pax to ask!
I’m liking “911” or “Asleep at the Wheel”. But realistically it’d be hard to refer to him during a workout as “Asleep at the Wheel”. Would we call him “ATW” or “Sleepy” as a nick-nick-name???
YHC is DR this weekend but YHC has been informed of a naming!
Kaylyon (Turnpike EH) is now “Out Cold” and hopefully pax will ask why.
Many great ideas and responses and many of us shall speak of Out Cold’s first post for years to come.
For the record, Kosar lead a very nice workout. Burpees, step-ups, curls, etc. I think he deserves co-Q credit 🙂
Honorable mention for Kosar.
4 pax were handed pens and 4-page packets. 3 of those co-Qs failed. But YHC did no better. Too much going on. We’ll try that workout again someday…
Yilario – DIY, Self-starter, Green Monster (he’s from Boston)
Kalyan – 911, Perp Walk, impound, to name a few…
Perp Walk is cool!
FWIW I think Mountain Island Lake already has a Pax named 911? I could be misremembering though
Johnny Gage.
Catnap, Shut eye, ZzzQuil
Do we have a stop light or first responder F3
My group was wondering where everyone was at. We would have thought we would have passed one group.
I had a watch, but no reading glass so I just faked it and made it up. Normal Kosar Q
We’ll try this workout one day, but with some tweaks. Bigger font, more verbal instruction than written, more than one exercise per station, and (hopefully) no emergency responders.
Update on namings:
Out Cold was named Saturday at Gladiator. Named after the sleepy non-pax who attended our workout at Cauldron Friday and got to meet Ponch up-close.
4-Way was named today at The Sword. Named after his own EH from his vehicle at the 4-way intersection Thursday at the Wilderness AND the happenings at the 4-way intersection at Cauldron Friday.
After all that, both were in attendance for Toby’s Q this morning at The Sword and we all hope it wasn’t too uneventful for them. PS – a THIRD FNG was also named at The Sword today – look up Toby’s BB for more info on “Rebound”.
Funny to read this back last as I sit in the second round of court. Hopefully the case is finalized today!
