Merry Brickmas

Event Date

Dec 26, 2015


The Estate was open for business the day after Christmas.   While 67 Pax posted at the Bailey Road Park NoCo convergence for a little pie and PIErogi led fun, a brave 7 pax showed up for a variation of the #BrickmasTree workout in spite of the pre-blast spelling out the pain in detail.

 

Here’s how it happened:

MOLESKIN

 

  • The #BrickmasTree is meant to be done with a brick in each hand but there were 7 Pax and only 6 bricks so Olive and Snoopy stepped up and elected to hold bricks during the exercise.  The remaining 2 bricks were passed around between the Pax from time to time
  • Elvis showed up for his third consecutive F3 (and Estate) post and put forth a great effort on a very tough workout. 
  • The counting responsibilities were passed around the circle with some notable observations;
    • Despite being a well educated Medical Doctor, Snoopy could use Q school to help with his cadence count…
    • Elvis passed on his turn to count each time, later insinuating that the Q tried to kill him (to be expected for an FNG during a tough workout),
    • Schneider and Olive killed it every time – nice work
  • Jingle Bells is looking stronger and stronger every post.  F3, it does a man good!
  • Thank you T-Bone for showing up for this scorcher.  I know the convergence was tempting – I hope you felt sufficiently rewarded for your choice.
  • YHC will be purchasing more 5 pound bricks and bring back the #BrickmasTree in the near future (maybe March?)
