Helter Skelter

QIC: Greenspan

Date: 1/19/21

PAX: Honey Badger, Hazer, Spicoli, Burns, Cherry Pie, Van Gogh, Turnover, Cheesesteak, Lamb Chop, Dr. Fruity Tootie, Palin, Bevo, Woodchuck, Greenspan

YHC regrets that the Flat and Red Lines occur on the same day as they are 2 of YHC’s 3 favorite workouts (although the Iron Throne is gaining ground quickly).  With that being said, YHC was excited to see a large crowd gathered in the 1st Pres parking lot.  YHC recited the mission statement and five core principles, turned the music up, and the bell rang.

Warmarama:

0530:  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.  Silly backblast template.

Beatdown:

Run north on Cherry to the wall in front of First Pres for Get Ups x 21

Continue run north across from the Marriott Alabama Prom Dates x 21

Pause at 6th Street corner Mountain Climbers x 21 (DC)

Run east on 6th, detour into alley for Foot Wall Climbs x 21 (4-count)

0545:  Continue running east on 6th to Main Street for BLIMPS.

  • Hand-release BURPEES x 21
  • LUNGES (DC) x 21
  • IMPERIAL WALKERS + Kick (DC) x 21
  • Hand-release MERKINS x 21
  • PLANK JACKS + Shoulder Taps (DC) x 21
  • SQUATS x 21

Complete reps for each individual exercise at Main Street, run down to Chestnut Street for WW2s x 11; run back up to Main Street for next exercise.

0608:  Mosey south on Chestnut Street, running backwards.  At 5th Street, complete Dive Bombers x 5.

0609:  Cross 5th Street to the trestle for Pull-Ups x 11.

0611:  Run west on 5th Street and pause at bus station for (pax choice) of 11 box jumps or alternating step ups (DC); run to Cherry Street; jailbreak home to First Pres parking lot.

0617:  Two minutes late getting home.  Everyone is grounded or required to repeat Huckleberry’s Iron Throne workout from Monday.

Finished.

CoT:

  • Peace for the inauguration of President Biden tomorrow.
  • Bevo has his Flatline VQ next week.
  • Red Baron has Q at Conspiracy tomorrow.

Moleskin:

  • The H.O.G. and another pax did an EC flyby run to the Redline AO to check on the boys down there. We were too early for them.  Total mileage for the workout proper was 2.7 miles, per an authoritative source.
  • Root Canal missed the memo that Flatline launches at 0530, and by “launches” we mean we take off like a gas cloud from his posterior.  We quickly circled back to pick him up and then he stayed in front of us for the rest of the morning.
  • Most excellent meeting Woodchuck today. Dude is a beast and was hanging with Van Gogh and Honey Badger.
  • Cherry Pie, Lamb Chop, and Palin were so quiet. One of them suffered a minor tweak to his calf.  The others…I’m really concerned about.
  • Turnover called Plankjacks + Shoulder Taps legit.  Which means that you can expect to see it at his next Q accompanied by a burpee.
  • Burns was flying this morning and reenacted stealing home as a Davidson baseball player on the jailbreak. That’s the fastest YHC has ever seen him run.
  • Great to see Hazer this morning. Dude didn’t miss a step.
  • Bevo was stretching out post-workout. He must have enjoyed the Prom Dates a lot earlier in the workout.   Expect something completely different next week for his site-Q VQ.
  • Cheesesteak was also flying and lapped YHC several times on the BLIMPS while doing extra exercises.
  • Spicoli turns 48 tomorrow! He SCed to Red Baron’s Conspiracy Q to celebrate.  You should post to celebrate his birthday!
    • In completely unrelated news, expect to see 6-20 men laying on their backs around 0617 tomorrow at Hanes Park.

Thank you, Bevo, for the opportunity to lead and good luck next week.  I left the keys laying on your chest in the parking lot.

    I seem to recall some extra runs up and down 6th with 5 burpees at the top, right??

      I didn’t think time wasters were admissible for credit in backblasts. But, if so, two hill sprints + 5 burpees + 5 merkins!

    Overall, a tough Beatdown with some great traveling around out wonderful city! In think Lambchop said it was furthest he’d ever travelled for a flatline! He obviously never attended a Thistle Beatdown…
