Bad Substitute

Bad Substitute

QIC: Mongoose

Date: 10/4/2017

PAX: Burlap, Huckleberry, Touch Me Not, Balco, Splash, Spamalot, Quiver, Zima, Mongoose

So….last night at 8:45 I got the call in from the bullpen due to @Beverly being overcommitted.  Being the helpful guy that I am, of course I agreed to be the substitute Q at @F3WinstonSalem’s premier Wednesday workout that takes place at a school near my house.

After a couple of inspirational Tweets and texts from @Cobra (yes, he had consumed a couple of beverages), and while watching The Empire Strikes Back, I formulated a plan from my old bag of tricks.  No, Mongoose’s ballsack did not appear today, but a couple of other favorites did.

Thang

Quick warmup mosey around the parking lot, finish back at the flag

20 burpees OYO to start (much mumbling and grumbling ensued)

Warmarama:  SSH, IW, squats, OH claps, Abe Vigoda

Mosey around the elementary school to Castaneda Court.  Bear Crawl from sidewalk to the wall, 5 Mike Tysons, bear crawl back.  Repeato bear crawl, but do 15 rebound jumps instead of MTs.

Mosey down to the track.  4 corners.  First lap:  Mary (WWII sit-ups, low flutter, Peter Parker, H2H); Second lap:  legs (lunges, squat jumps, calf raises, copperhead squats)

Move to soccer field end line: Run to mid-field, do 20 merkins, run back, do 19 merkins, etc. until you do 11 merkins

Back to the track for another Mary lap (LBC, low dolly, Freddy Mercury, something else)

Back to the field:  Run to midfield, do 10 merkins, run back, do 9 merkins, etc. until you do 1 merkins or we run out of time.

Mosey back to start

Good group today.  Workout plan kept us all together, suffering through those merkins.

I did have a plan for today, no matter what @Balco says

Burlap counted the number of merkins but I was hurting too bad to remember his count.  Over 200

Some comments about having to do lots of merkins on Monday.  Sorry, I ran with the #fastholes on Monday.  We did zero merkins.  Except for @Patch, who went home and knocked out his #Benjamin before work
