You Versus You at VI

You Versus You at VI

QIC: Wobegon

Date: 4-12-2021

PAX: Harden, Sour Mash, Suede, Drama Queen, Sea-Man

Monday morning, 5:24 am. The Y is jumping. The weather is pleasant. It’s time for some You V. You Idiocy.

Sour Mash sat in his truck, typing on his phone, striking fear/joyful anticipation in the heart of any Pax looking at Slack and seeing “Sour Mash is typing…” and imagining with glorious GIPH he’ll produce. That or checking his email, who knows.

Drama Queen rolls up and out. Harden does the same.  A shadowy figure jogs over, DQ wonders if we are about to be told to leave or make a new friend. Spoiler Alert: it was Sea-Man.

Disclaimer that the Q is tired as hell (not disclosed: the 2.0 kept me up till midnight watching Wrestle Mania. Good parenting? Who knows. Two hours past my bedtime at least but that Roman Reigns finish was worth it). Mission statement done, let’s go.

Warm-o-Rama was standard. Suede slides in not long after the side straddle hops.

Mosey to shelter near the track. 

Q gives out a ladder of 4 exercises and starts a 4-minute timer. Complete the sequence, start again till Q calls time. Remember your totals. Go.

Round 1

• 5 burpees
• 10 merkins
• 15 squats
• 20 LBC

Recover with a lap around the track.

Repeat Round 1, see if you can beat your totals. 

Short recover and then on to Round 2…

Round 2

• 5 dry docks
• 10 seal clap 
• 15 overhead clap
• 20 gas pumps

Recover with a lap around the track.

Repeat Round 2, see if you can do the same or improve. 

Short rest, time check…back at it, round 3. Time grows short. Just got in one round.

Round 3

• 5 Parker merkins 
• 10 mountain climbers 
• 15 alt shoulder taps
• 20 WW2

Mosey back to start for a spirited 15-count of American Hammer for our Moment Of Mary and….done. 

No prayers, no announcements other than Q School on May 15th. Took us out. 

Sour Mash, as always, put in work and seemed motivated as hell today. 

Suede is among the best pax for vocal encouragement. YHC hears and sees you.

Drama Queen with the always good-natured and appreciated MC. Agreed, music would have been good. Though he did decline an invitation to sing for us. 

Harden rivals YHC for quiet determination and beats me in grinding it out. Tough dude. 

Sea-Man says he does not post normally on Mondays, looked like an old pro to me. He also declined Sour Mash’s offer of a ride to his car. I’m not SAYING he snuck into the Y to knock out 30 more minutes on the treadmill, but can’t confirm he DIDN’T. 

Snake Eyes, keys are under one of the 40 picnic tables in the shelter.
