QIC: Huckleberry

Date: 12/14/20

PAX: Drip, Razzie, HOG, Cherry Pie

5 pax gathered in the rain for one of the final Estate workouts (pending improved numbers and reopening).  The Estate was my VQ many years ago and I was site Q for over 2 years.  there have been some amazing and painful workouts completed at this site.  so, for one of the final workouts, yhc took these HIMs back in time for a few of my favorite Qed workouts there.  NOTE – due to the rain, the stupid huge, steep grass hill was not used and the pax were thankful for this nice Q gesture.

Warm o rama – SSH x 20, IW x 15, Mountain climbers x 15 all IC

mosey to the far end of the trail to campus (cherry pie “has this path always been this long?”)

part 1 – sprint from the end of the trail back to the rugby field stopping at every light (13 of them) for 3 burpees.

part 2 – broad jump burpee across the rugby field (this was originally a partner workout where one pax did the broad jump burpees while the other sprinted to the end of the field, did 2 regular burpees, and sprinted back to flip flop – it was miserable).  We Omaha this after a 3rd pax slid in the wet grass to lunge walk burpees (2 lunges the burpee).  who knew that the field would be wet?

part 3 – partner up for dora – 150 mike tysons – partner bear crawls to opposite curb and back ~10 yards

part 4 – suicides – up the side road, stops at all stop signs (duh) and all speed bumps.  oh, and 5 squats at the bottom each time

part 5 – “merry go round” (named by Razzie this morning) – at the fountain – derkins (perform one derkin, slide left keep feet on fountain and hands on the ground, perform derkin, etc until you reach your starting point).  exercises were Derkins, Urkins, and Dips.

Mary – freddy merk x 10, flight attendants x 10, low flutter x 10.  and my new fav….3 merkins with 10 count down and 10 count up.

Announcements – Cherry Pie has Wib, Drip has Distillary

Prayers – HOG friends family, Spams father, housing situation for our fellow pax, those battling COVID

yhc took us out

Cherry pie was vocal today; “has this path always been this long?”, “you know mike tysons and bear crawls use the same muscles right?”, “that field is going to be wet”

HOG ran in the pouring rain prior to crushing the workout – and he never complained once

at 0532 Drip asked “does this workout involve a shelter at somepoint?”  I responded “No”.

of course Drip (being the nicest pax) just said ok and kept smiling.  Drip is sneaky with the broad jump burpees too – leading the way (of course he didnt fall like the rest of us).

Razzie walked up at SSH and got to work.  his only complaint “the mike tysons and bear crawls used the same muscles” – to which Cherry pie spoke up yet again “I told him that!”.

someone put their foot into the fountain on the derkins – not sure who but there was some chatter about that failure.

we got wet, we toured alot of the AO, and these guys were unstoppable.  Honor to be out there with them.

HOG the keys fell out during the broad jump burpees on the wet field.
