A Complete Cluster

A Complete Cluster

QIC: Starfish

Date: 7/6/2019

PAX: Caviar (WB), Squier, Harden, 60 Minutes, Fender, Zima, Gucci, Quiver, Starfish (WD, QIC)

Somehow, @Balco failed to mention that the reward for Qing #Charlie Foxtrot was a free bottle of bourbon courtesy of SiteQ @Harden when he reached out to suggest a #QSwap with YHC who was previously scheduled to Q #Charlie Foxtrot on August 17.  Come to think of it, @Harden didn’t offer YHC any bourbon when he coerced YHC to sign up.  So maybe YHC’s beef is with him, not @Balco.  Oh well.

YHC had a special #Kotter guest ride over to the #AO this morning:  none other than his 2.4 aka @Caviar, who was probably just humoring his old man by joining him out at F3 again.  2.2 didn’t even pretend to wake up or humor his old man though.

While driving up, we saw #FormerNonRunner @60Minutes finishing up an extra credit run.  YHC just shook his head as he knew what was ahead of us this day.  @Fender, @Squier, @Harden and @Gucci were already gathered in the #SexLot, followed soon by @Zima and then @Quiver came in on two wheels at 0659 to make our cluster complete.

The Thang, Part 1:  The Diceman

One pax takes the pair of dice and calls a pair of exercises (e.g. Carolina Dry Docks and Sumo Squats) and a recovery exercise for the six and then rolls the dice. Pax run the number of streetlights on the higher die in a clockwise direction and then perform the first exercise times the number of reps as shown by the total rolled dice. Pax then run the number of streetlights on the lower die in a counterclockwise direction and then perform the second exercise times the number of reps as shown by the total rolled dice. For example, if CDD and Sumo Squats are called and the roller rolls a 6 and a 5, all pax run 6 streetlights in the clockwise direction, perform 11 CDDs OYO and then run back 5 streetlights in the counterclockwise direction and then perform 11 Sumo Squats. We kept this going through 9 full rounds, giving everyone a chance to be #TheDiceman.

The Thang, Part 2:  Indian Plank Bear Crawl

Pax line up head to toe in plank facing the lake. Pax at the back of the line bear crawls to the front of the line and assumes the plank position at the front of the line.  Rinse and repeat until all pax have bear crawled.  Shake it off and then turn around and go another round in the opposite direction.  #Crowdpleaser.  Mosey back to infield of traffic circle.

The Thang, Part 3:  Ring of Fire

Pax circle up.  Pax take turns calling an ab exercise which all other pax perform #AMRAP while pax who called the exercise bear crawls around the circle.  Rinse and repeat until all pax have bear crawled.  Slow mosey over to bike lane on Village Point Drive.

The Thang, Part 4:  Indian Squat Lunge Walk

Pax line up facing the #SexLot.  Pax perform #AMRAP squats while pax at the back of the line lunge walks to the front of the line and then assumes the squat position at the front of the line.  Rinse and repeat until all pax have lunge walked.

The Thang, Part 5:  Indian Run Back to Sex Lot

Strong crowd out there this morning.  2.14 miles in small increments.

It was a bit humid.

@Caviar was welcome until he called #Burpees and #Burpees when it was his turn as #TheDiceman.

@Squier thought he was being cute by calling #Burpees during #RingOfFire.  But we all got him back during the first exercise of Mary….

@Zima was his usual chatty self and was out front most of the morning, even leading several pax astray but not following the crystal clear instructions during #TheDiceman.

Enjoyed getting to know @Fender better and talking classical guitar with him.  Check out his group Arts For Life…they are doing great things providing music therapy for critically and chronically ill kids at the hospital.  There’s a big dinner coming up in September to raise funds…see @Fender for more details.

@Zima offered a preview of sorts of his #Estate Q coming up on Monday.

Biscuitville for 4 of us was delicious!

It was an honor and a privilege to lead this morning; thanks for coming out!

Your friend,

Starfish
