In our continued quest for the coveted Mighty Oak Patch, Kosar and YHC signed up to co-Q this one. YHC has 1 more Q to go, Kosar earned his with this most recent post and Q. Well done, Kosar!
YHC led a pretty normal warm-o-rama but one that was not without pax and co-Q concern when we took off as if we were going to leave the AO. But alas – all it was, was a lap around the AO with some strategic stops for F3 advertising and exercises. The pax would all be warm by the time we landed behind the school near the blocks, but co-Q Kosar had more than just blocks planned…
The Thang:
How fit are you? Are you “government fit”??? Time to find out as Kosar had us partner up and led us through timed exercises like Merkin’s, situps, squats and even a “1 mile” timed run. How many reps could we do in a minute, how fast could we finish the 4 laps on the track – compare your numbers to… well to nothing until Kosar replies with the govt standard – see below (hopefully).
But the govt fitness testing wouldn’t be enough – no not for a Kosar co-Q. So let’s get the blocks. We took them over to the picnic table area where we did various exercises with and without them (or maybe all with them but YHC had to audible for some?).
Blocks back and time to mosey around the side of the AO for some MWAR. YHC had previously whipped out the big, long, thick, black… rope. Despite the frigid temps, it was still long and thick, and the pax seemed to enjoy it.
That was it – we finished up with Mary With A Rope only missing Flo but he would have none of and grabbed hold of it with both hands like a champ while the pax attempted (failed twice) to count off.
Moleskine:
I think I included it in the above, but the pax can chime in. Kosar says he’ll reply with the govt standards for push-ups and sit-ups and the mile. So if the pax can remember their counts, they can determine if they’re fit or not. Or do it the YHC way and wait to see the govt standard before “remembering” my rep counts…
YHC and Mulligan have the co-Q next week, then Roadie has it the last week of Dec and that should earn 3 more of us patches! Nice challenge and perk from MQ Estwing.
Aye.
