Hedwig’s bachelor party shenanigans were set to start after #IS.  #VanGogh was scheduled to Q #DawgPound, but sent out a Tweet requesting a SubstiQ.  A little good natured Twitter banter back and forth and YHC for some reason agreed to take #VanGogh’s place.  YHC wishes he could say Bourbon had something to do with it, but I don’t drink at work.  What have I done?  YHC hates running and agreed to Q a mostly running workout?!?

And so it began…How do I get out of this?  #Harden DM’d YHC asking what my plans were for Saturday and he informed me there was a 5k (Nathan’s Race) launching from Tanglewood at 9:30 AM and we should run in it.  2 problems here, first YHC was NOT running a 5k after Qing DP and second the 2.0 had a dance competition starting at 10 AM.  Was this going to be my saving grace, however?  Should #DawgPound converge elsewhere in lieu of this event?  NOPE!  After DMing the Site Q, YHC was gently reminded that DP launches at 0630 and from a different location as the 5k.  Can’t blame me for trying…

What to do, what to do?  BINGO, market AGAINST my own Q!  I totally got this!  YHC did his best to minimize the Q experience that was going to be offered at DP in hopes the PAX might stay away.  YHC went as far as promoting and campaigning on Twitter for Frisburpee happening at #IS.  A few re-tweets later and some back and forth Tweeting with the SiteQ, it was clear this plan had backfired.  Now, YHC had concerns more PAX than anticipated might show.  #MarketingGenius

Now there was nothing left to do but plan the Q.  A quick refresher of previous Qs at #DawgPound, a review of the F3 Exicon and YHC had a plan.

YHC still held out a little hope that no PAX would show as I was sitting in my truck and no PAX in sight as of 0623.  Then my heart sank as YHC saw lights coming down the road.  It was Starfish!  He had hopped the Red Eye from Texas to NC just to make it to my DP Q debut!  (OK, that last sentence wasn’t true.)  Not sure who showed up next, but Fingers and Quiver showed up shortly after.  At 0630 YHC cocked his leg and gave a piss poor

Warm-O-Rama:

• Abe Vigoda x 15 IC

The THANG:

Mosey approximately .25 miles and perform an exercise.  Mosey approximately another .25 miles and perform an exercise.  Repeat around the roads/trails of Tanglewood.   YHC planned for 10 exercises that would cover about 2.5 miles –

• Windmill
• E2K (aka Mutton Crunch)
• Lbcs
• Scorpion Dry Docks
• Hillibillies

• Clerkin
• Overhead Clap
• Reverse Crunch
• Gorilla Humpers
• Imperial Walkers

We made it back to start with about 5 minutes to spare so we did 2 rounds of each PAX calling a MARY exercise.

FIN

Announcements:

• Expansion opportunities coming up.  Reach out to Starfish if interested and he can get you plugged in.

Prayer Requests:

• Coworker of YHC dealing with breast cancer
• Family of a coworker of Fingers who passed away this week

Fingers took us out praying for YHCs coworker, the family of his coworker who passed away and the facilities at Tanglewood.

NMM:

• A range of miles covered on various fitness apparatuses by the PAX.  YHC had 3.3 miles, Starfish had almost 4 and Fingers had 3.5.  YHC MMR’d the route and it came up to 2.6 miles.  Starfish did quite a bit of lassying back for the 6 and Fingers did some lassying back and had a slight detour as nature called about 30 minutes in.
• Exercises called spelled out Welsh Corgi.  There are two breeds, Pembroke Welsh Corgi’s (docked tails) and Cardigan Welsh Corgi’s (full tail).
• Strong work by all PAX today!  Appreciate the opportunity to lead!  Thanks for the keys, Fingers!
