Mosey to Jamison Park.  Each partner group selects 1 “medium to heavy rock” from the ditch.  Walk 10 feet to the trail for the ascent of the Hill to Nowhere:

• Partner A: Dan Taylors (squat, R-L lung, L-L lung) holding chosen rock up the trail
• Partner B: Run to top of the Hill to Nowhere, burpees x 5, run back to partner
• Flip flop and repeatountil each group reaches the pinnacle of the Hill to Nowhere

Descent of the Hill to Nowhere:

• Partner A: Hold rock overhead and walk “normally” down the hill
• Partner B: Run to bottom of the trail and then back to partner
• Flip flop and repeat until each group reaches the bottom of the Hill to Nowhere

Return rocks to crevice from which they came.  Mosey to amphitheater for some bench work.

• Partner B: Run “little” loop
• Flip flop

Omaha was called and we did:

• Alt-Step Ups x 20 (IC)

Mosey back to launch for Mary:

• Penguin crunch

• Protractor/Compass
• High Dolly

Shot clock violation.

Announcements:

• Red Eye made the pax aware that the traffic debacle at Meadowlark was going to be exacerbated by a plan that is a “cluster”. Plan is slated to begin in April 2020 and last for 2 years.  Red Eye encouraged pax to get informed and contact their representatives.

Prayer Requests:

• Ziggy Stardust: health diagnosis later this week
• Those suffering from mental illness
• Peacemaker’s M
• Keith Vest

YHC took us out.

NMM:

• An ominous pre-blast did not deter the pax. Thirteen join YHC in ejecting from the sack and getting down to the muggy business of the morning.  It was incredibly soupy.
• I blame part of this morning’s painful hill proceedings on Bevo as he led a similar ascent up the Hill to Nowhere with rocks back in the winter. YHC mixed in the twist of the partnership and running, as no good Greenspan Q is complete without running.  Total mileage was ~2.2 miles.
• Great to meet As Is, a recent transplant from F3 Churham. He put in the work and was getting up the hill.  He may have arrived with Red Eye, or vice-versa.
• Speaking of: it was great to see RE at a bootcamp as he has been putting the running miles in recently.  Glad he could walk across his front yard and join us.
• Splash glided up the hill and parked very close to YHC. He didn’t seem very pleased with either the hill or the proximity with which we were parked.
• It has been determined that what makes Huck’s burpee look so effortless is that he completes the merkin portion while floating between standing and hitting the ground. A thing of beauty.
• Offsides offered some drivel about “too much running” while he ran past everyone. He had plenty left in the tank to run back to the launch with YHC.
• Posthole and Bevo easily chose the most ambitious rock.
• H.O.G., fresh off vacation and a race in Va Beach, was quiet this morning, getting after it.
• Drama Queen came up running up the hill looking fresh. He’s a true respect and IPC appears to be paying dividends.
• Turnover flew by YHC the first time up the hill. It reminded YHC of IPC #2 when YHC lost his mind and went all out on the run, only to suffer the consequences for the remainder of the misery.  In contrast, Turnover just kept rolling through the workout without slowing.
• Burlap demonstrated his counting his expertise in the COT by helping direct Dr. Toot to the eleven spot. Burlap said he enjoyed the morning.
• Good to see Mudfoot this morning. He left an aspirational sweat angel in the parking lot.
• YHC had the pleasure of partnering with Dr. Toot throughout. What can be said that hasn’t be said about the HIM he is.  We’ll just have to continue helping him come up with variations on his F3 name as he provides new intonations.

Thanks for the keys, Turnover.  I think they got thrown in the ditch with the rocks.  Sorry.
