Wondering who would post since this one was pre-blasted through 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon (thanks Turnpike). And if they showed, would the expect a Turnpike Q, a Stray Q, or a bit of whatevs?
YHC wanted to get the lay of the land as his internal GPS was a bit fuzzy on the surroundings of the AO. But YHC did not want to run a Standard. With intentionality, enter our hero stage left at 0502.
Turnpike and Tantrum thwarted the best laid plans of mice and stray men by starting #theStandard 3 minutes late.
With a brief explaination, they took off one way and YHC another way. Oh come on, with Turnpike and Stray you knew soemeone was going to meander and get lost. We reconvene at 0525 back at the AO and then this happened………
0530 let's ro…….. wait Memo is coming in hot
0532 let's ro……. wait Jedi is coming in hotter
0533 let's……. those look like F3 headlights coming this way……welp turning around…..nope turning back around.
0533:17 let's definitely roll and intercept that car and help them join us. Oh hai Ramrod *whistle* yeah it's us, the ones you've been looking for. Jedi and Turnpike will show you the parking lot and run back to meet us.
The thang begineth
- SSH x15ic because that's how you show you are not a certified professional buuuuuuuut you've been to Q school
- Windmill x10ic because we be old(ish)
- Little bit o' mountain climbers x10ic because YHC went colloquial in his transition jargon and then got called out by Jorel, so yeah it's little bit o' mountain climber (if you're hip you can abbreviate mountain to mtn)
Mosey (1/2 mile on Garmin but 6.4 miles on Apple Watch and no telling what Strava will publish) to an intersection YHC scoped out earlier.
- LBC x21ic
- Run up hill to top (we'll call it 200yds) and do 21 dips then run back down and do 21 'mericans.
- Repeato x3
Mosey back up hill and stop so YHC can act like he isn't mostly dead.
- Low fuller x10ic
- Rosalita x10ic
Mosey through neighborhood and then down Moritmer hill. Stop at the refrigerator and grill in the middle of the road. Because it is there, and we can.
- 'merican hammer x10ic
- WWII situp x10ic
- watch the guy who came out of his garage to go for a run awkwardly walk back in his garage and try to avoid joining our cult
Tempo run about 1/3 mile to pergola type thing in common area
- Partner 1: 21 dips. Partner 2: 21 iversons
- Repeato x3
Mosey back to AO launch
- Touch them heels x10ic
- Freddie Mercury x21ic
COT: pray for F3 marriages. We went out with words of wisdom from the unofficial original nantan, King David from Isreal who used to post before the sun rose and eloquently prayed in Psalm 90: when the sun comes up, satisfy us, before the day has passed us by, before our hearts forget all your goodness, satisfy us with your love. Go get after it men. Make your family, friends, community and work better for it.
Skinned up mole commentary
- *clapping* to Ramrod for making the long ride down to the southernmost AO in the kingdom
- *clapping* to Memo. You may be posting at places but I hadn't seen you in years. Great to see you again. Had I not been so winded and doing all the counting, perhaps we could have caught up a bit more.
- *clapping* to Jedi looking good and pushing our pace!
- *clapping* to Jorel opined some wisdom that may have been a story of tragedy narrowly averted, but he saw it coming and took credit and owned it. (for those curious he took his wife out for a Kovac valentine's dinner and it just so happened to be the first place he took to many moons ago…..because he knew that and totally planned it to be that way)
- *clapping* to Tantrum for running with a different pax on each segment. Keeping community alive and motivating each of us. Really cool example that while we workout hard (you vs you) we are also still here for community and betterment fo the full pax.
- *clapping* to Turnpike for preblasting for me…..and likely backblasting this on the twitters
- *clapping* to Jingle Bells for being the only pax to honor the March 7 is 3 (March) x 7 (day) = 21 reps for each exercise and do 21 reps for his Mary. To their credit the other guys did 10 which is 3+7.
- *clapping* again to Jingle Bells for the opportunity to lead this morning. Thank you for staying on me to Q when I needed a push to accept it and do it. And for your steadfast stewardship of the Titan AO.
