Games and…..fun?

QIC: Wobegon

Date: 6-7-2021

PAX: Crash, Bullwinkle, Dr. Toot, Subfloor, Bloodsport (Co-Q), Wobegon (Co-Q)

The 2.0 and YHC were honored to be asked to co-Q at Alcatraz/Supermax.  We sat down one night, AEW on in the background most likely, and made a plan. It went like this:

Supermax:

Two choices in this WIB style workout.  A more “extended warm-up” and a true beatdown. Pax availed themselves of both and even moved back and forth. It was tough.

Perform each exercise 5 times. Run distance (started as the length of lot, switched to full lap around smaller lot, good call). Each round add 1 lap and 5 reps.

Choices:

  • Abe
  • Squats
  • Penguin Crunch
  • Seal Claps
  • Walk distance

OR:

  • Side Straddle Hops
  • Burpees
  • LBCs
  • Merkins
  • Mosey distance

Woo! Good workout.

 

Alcatraz:

Our theme: fun and games. The “fun” was debated.

Following warm-o-rama, we went to Game One: Throwing Dice.

Using a pair of multi-sided dice (we raided the Dungeons and Dragons box).  One die determined the exercise, second the reps. Roll a 1, lap around the lot. 9 possible exercises, reps could go as high as 90.

  • Merkins
  • Wide Merkins
  • Dry Docks
  • Mountain Climbers
  • Peter Parkers
  • Shoulder Taps
  • Seal Calps
  • Overhead Claps
  • Run lap

Few rounds, we hit them all, some of us rolled…poorly.

Next game! Disc Golf.  We explored the back half of the AO and the 9 holes.  5 burpees at each one.  Watch for poison ivy.

Next game! Dice and Spaces and Cones

  • 6 cones spaced, seemingly at random and numbered, around the small parking lot.
  • Q rolls a (normal, boring) six-sided die and calls the number. Pax run to the appropriate cone. Last one there: take a lap.
  • Rest of pax: perform called exercise until runner is back

Exercises:

  • Side Straddle Hops
  • Walkers
  • Hillbillies
  • Cross-Overs (a Bloodsport creation, ask him)
  • One more!
  • One more !

Sorry, lost the winkie and can’t pull it.

 

Done!

Announcements:

None spoke aloud.

Privileged to have Dr. Toot take us out.

 

Great morning at River Oaks, alwasy a pleasure to attend and an honor to co-Q with Bloodsport. Be on the lookout for his first full-fledged Q.
