Exploring the Estate
QIC: Sassy
Date: 10/09/2017
PAX: Huckleberry, Snooki, Touch-Me-Not, Jar Jar, Chisel, BAM, Swiss Miss, Focker, Razzie, Palin, Sassy
A PAX of 11 came together at The Estate this morning and the mumble chatter began very soon. Palin and YHC arrived early and up until about 5:27, it looked like we may just call it a workout where we did 45 minutes of burpees, but alas, the PAX came in fast and furious and we were off!

Mosey to…I don’t know, YHC hasn’t posted here before so down a hill past Pure Barre.
Today is the observed day of Columbus Day, and while Columbus may or may not have had anything to do with discovering America in 1492 (I see you, Leif Erikkson), it still gives us a good reason to get beat down. We settled on 14 of one exercise followed by 92 of another.
14 Burpees
92 LBCs
Mosey to I think the end of the Village where the trail would go to WF
14 Merkins
92 Squats OMAHA
46 Squats
46 Jack Reachers
Mosey to BohoBlu store (thanks Google Maps)
14 Imperial Squat Walkers
92 Mountain Climbers (single leg)
Mosey to Reynolda Road to do burpees, whoops, bad idea, YHC looking like Columbus trying to find India…
Turn around, mosey back into the Village as the wind and mist picks up
14 Merkins
92 SSHs
Mosey to the long lost fountain YHC was looking for, this again looking like YHC is heading for uncharted waters. While we’re at it, why couldn’t Columbus discover places in 1446 or 1425? YHC decided to rewrite history.
14 Dips
46 Squats
14 Step-Ups
25 Dips
Enough of Columbus and his day, it’s time to honor another explorer. Now, YHC is extremely familiar with an explorer of the 6 year old variety.

10/28 is the MEGA in Greensboro.
Prayer Requests
None spoken, continuing to pray for everyone involved in the many disasters in the world, both near and far.

This morning was an absolute blast as YHC got to workout with many new PAX. I hope you found the beatdown sufficient as I felt like a fish out of water (or Columbus sailing in the middle of the Atlantic).
The lack of respects in the PAX was very present this morning, everyone was full of hate…then there was BAM, our WD who deserved the only “Aye!” at Name-O-Rama.
MC started before the workout even started due to YHC’s threat of running and burpees, I thought the Estate crowd liked that sort of thing?
There was an unnamed member of the PAX that disappeared into the grass behind the cars during Mary to either spill Merlot, do things bears typically do in the woods, or to try to peak into the Pure Barre class that started….
It was a pleasure, men! Thank you for the push and I look forward to returning to the Estate soon! The keys, crap, the keys…I’ll get them to you, Tuco. I’m going to a Phil Collins concert tonight so I’ll see you there? 😉

BAM
Absolutely sufficient! Some might even say miserable.
As Swiss Miss found out, YHC really just talks to hear himself talk or laughs at things that only YHC finds funnny. Lots of good one liners out there today:
Napoleon was an explorer?
Focker falsely getting Swiss Miss’ hopes up that his form on ISW’s was top notch – “really?” “No, not you, Sassy”
Huckleberry asking if Sassy had/needed gloves for the beatdown – “No, well, yes, in my car” which prompted a Fletch quote.
And YHC got a little too much humor out of certain pax that had to do Mary on soft grass vs. pavement, but was still faithful to call out cadence. (I don’t get out much)
Thanks for humoring the old man today!
BAM
And who could forget Jar Jar kicking back and relaxing after the work by the fountain! Put a smoking jacket on him and a cocktail in his hand and he wouldn’t have looked more laid back. Thinking Q’s are gonna have to step it up to get him to break a sweat. #beastmode

It was an eventful morning. I was too busy gasping for air when I look over to see Jar Jar chilling as if a drink had been ordered…one day I’ll get there! Ha…and that “really?” by Swiss Miss was classic on the ISW’s. Glad I could bring some entertainment to the workout this morning!
