WIB Avoided the Rain, Not The Burpees
QIC: Goofy
Date: 05/23/2019
PAX: Boomerang, CherryPie, HoneyBadger, Offsides, TouchMeNot, Huckeberry, Thistle (WD), RootCanal, Butter, Goofy, HOG, LambChop, VirginiaSlim (WB)
YHC was super impressed that 13 pax showed up for WIB on a rainy day. A strong and hearty bunch to say the least. We modified the beat down to run under the sheltered walkway next to the shops.
The Thang
After a brief Warm-o-Rama, we did 5 of the following exercises at the front of each row, increasing by 5 each time a circuit is completed – so 5, 10, 15, 20 and so on. We completed circuits until 0615 and I think most Pax got in 6 full circuits or up to 30 reps each exercise.
1st Station – outside LaCaretta (tunes were played at this station)
- Merkins
- Carolina Dry Docks
- Wide Merkins
- Burpees (these were modified and once we got to 20, we counted back down to 15, 10)
2nd Station (outside of the Nail Salon)
- Low Flutter
- Superman
- American Hammer
- SSH’s
3rd Station (outside of Harris Teeter)
- Squats
- Lunges (each leg)
- Calf Raises
- Jump squats
- Run back to Station 1 and repeat)
COT: YHC took us out
Announcements
- @Offsides has the Q at Charlie Foxtrot on Saturday
- @CherryPie reported that the Samartain workout was a success, which conflicted with @Thistle’s recollection of burpees at every intersection.
NMM
- There was debate if the cool rain would have been better than the warm humidity we sweated through. The Q thought this was a worthy argument.
- @Boomerang felt that @Goofy was not living up to high expectations by not having tunes at each station. True
- @LambChop and @VaSlim were chatting it up the whole time, which made me question the difficulty of the beatdown. The “non-rain” beatdown had us also running suicides between stations
- There was no debate that the first station was by far the most difficult, which included 75 total burpees.
- Despite an HC @BeastLite was not there to show off his Grizzly Adams beard, accented with a blue ascot.
- @CherryPie was admiring @Butters physique and some awkward moments ensued when the Q carried the conversation too far.
- Tclaps to @Butter for running 2x around the 1/2 mile loop around the shopping center in the steady rain before the workout.
- Tclaps also for @Starfish for helping YHC appreciate the finer things by unwittingly contributing the song, Sunshine Rock by Bob Mould.
- One of the best benefits of posting to different workouts is you get to meet some great new Pax, and was glad to do so today.
- Nice age range today – from 27 to 60. A full collection of hate-hates, hates, ayes, respect and a double respect.
- always an honor to lead and be with the men of F3

So if YHC had lunch today at this La Carreta, does that count as a workout? BTW – it was delicious!
Goofy
Before , during or after your burrito, did you also do 75 burpees?
