Noah’s Ark
QIC: Huckleberry
Date: 7/23/18
PAX: Red eye, Interference, Splash, Spam, Manscape, Landshark, Lightbrigade, Greenspan, Huckleberry QIC
On a cool, foggy Monday morning, 8 pax posted to the Outhouse to find out more about the “most famous boat of all time”. As I exited the car, 7 of the pax had already gathered and were discussing which boat from history we could be learning about today. No correct answers were stated. At 529, the Red Eye minivan came flying in the parking. 530, the fun began.
Warm-o-rama
SSH x 20 IC, IW x 15 IC, AST forward x 10 IC, copperhead squat x 15 IC, AST reverse x 10 IC, Abe Vigoda OYO
Thang:
pick up a brick the back of my car as we moseyed to the playground. Drop the brick off at the base of the boat, and mosey around the path back to the grass. 2 cones were place ~40 yards from the boat; this is the starting line. the theme was then announced to the pax – today, we reenact Noah’s Ark. Several pax attempted to leave, but elected to stay. we would line up with a partner at the cones, and move like a specific animal up to the boat. once at the boat, pax would perform 40 exercises (in pairs) to get onto the boat. once on the boat, we spent 40 days (40 seconds) in the wall sit position and 40 nights (40 seconds) resting in the elbow plank. Once we had completed the 40 days and nights, animals were allowed to leave the boat via the slide. Run back to the cones and another animal was called……Repeato.
Animals: Bear Crawl, Crab Walk, Duck Walk. for the final, pairs were allowed to choose between Frog Hops, Alligator Crawl, and Monkey Walk.
Exercises at the base of the Ark:
N – no cross dolly – low dolly with arms out wide
O – One Calls – Lexicon – partner merkin – hand release with bouya both hands at the top
A – Alternating Lunges
H – Hot Potato – Like a WWII with partners feet together, take 2 bricks overhead on the way down and pass them to partner at the top.
Mary….no time!
Announcements: Schmedfest, Spam has OG/trackers on Friday (which was compared to Lebron – taking his talents across town)
Prayers: families that are separated, my wife who is due any day now
YHC took us out praying for those listed and requesting help for us to be better men, leaders, husbands, fathers, friends, and worshipers of HIM
Spam was on point this morning…not sure if he had some coffee not the way in, but he should do it again! lots of water on the slide….thank you to the 3 pax that went first and dried it up for everyone else. Great to see Interference out there again – he has one good foot and was still crushing it. Pax were not excited about the alternative modes of transportation and no one elected the alligator crawl (maybe next time).
Thank you for loading up Noah’s Ark today and for the keys Red eye. Until next time…………

10/10 Huckleberry!! Massively creative. YHC still thinks the origins of this lie in you having to put up a paperwall boarder in the nursery. In the middle of the night, working on minimal sleep….Or possibly, that was a flashback to when my now 16 year old was about to be born. But I digress…
You consistently run a mean mean beatdown. Especially when the bricks make an appearance. Well done!
