IS/Purgatory Convergence

QIC: Mutton

PAX: Mutton, Burlap, Drip, Off Sides, Spamalot, Green Acres, Bulldog, 5 Dollar Footlong, Touch Me Not, Huckleberry, Ty Rutledge (FNG Handy Mandy)

At long last, Saturday’s convergence is posted.  I have an excuse as I left town with my wife to celebrate her birthday which falls on Pearl Harbor Day.  We got back late Sunday and too much going on to post.

That said, I will do my best to recall our exact exercises from my failing memory.

At precisely 7:00AM we welcomed FNG Ty Rutledge and recited the F3 creed and warnings.  Our first act together was a slow mosey around the track to get ourselves warm.  That was a real crowd pleaser.  After a single lap, we circled up for a little warm-a-rama.

SSH x 25

Imperial Walkers x 25

Copperhead Squats x 20

Monkey Humpers x 20

Merkins x 20

Arm Swirly Things x 10

Seal Claps x 10

Overhead Claps x 10

I had three things in mind to spend the next 45 minutes.

First, 3 man grinders.  The pax got into groups of 3 or 4 and performed the following:

3 sets a piece of pull ups and Squats

3 sets a piece of Merkins and Juanitas

3 sets a piece of Burpees and an exercise I can’t remember!

Second

Mosey to the rock quarry for 2 rounds of:

20 curls, 20 overhead presses, 20 skull crushers and 20 rows

Third

Mosey to the upper pool deck for 7 layers of dip

7 dips, 10 Derkins

7 dips, 10 right leg step ups

7 dips, 20 monkey humpers

7 dips, 10 left leg step ups

7 dips, 10 Erkins

7 dips, memory failure

7 dips – no last exercise, slow mosey to parking lot for Mary

Final

About 7 minutes of popcorn Mary

A lot of mumble chatter during the warm up lap.  Not starting with Side Straddle Hop seemed to confuse the Pax early on, but they recovered nicely.  FNG Handy Mandy moved along well with the Pax.  Thanks to Touch Me Not for bringing him out.

Next week there are two 5ks.  Watch Twitter for more info.

YHC has not been to Purgatory in many months and it was good to see some old faces.  Prayers for those victims of the two military base shootings and my brother-in-law Mark Hoppe struggling with Multiple Myeloma.
