Answers to all your questions about the Conspiracy

QIC: Burlap

Date: 24 Nov 2021

PAX: Posthole, (WB), Spicoli, Cherry Pie, Mutton, Burlap (QIC), and Root Canal (WB) in order of age

The weather today jumped about 3 layers from my last workout on Monday morning with just long sleeves and shorts.   It skipped short sleeve over longsleeve (low 40s), F3 pullover over short sleeve (high 30s), F3 pullover over long sleeve (low thirties), and went to sweatshirt over pullover over long sleeve (mid 20s and below).  Actually, YHC could have been OK without the sweatshirt, but I did need the double gloves as the temp was 25 at the start.

Total of six strong pax — well, five strong pax plus the Q — did something very close to this:

Warmorama — SSHs    ISTs    Squats    Windmills  Hillbillies Running with Scissors and Mountain climbers, all in cadence.

Mosey to playground and partner up for Dora 1 2 3:   100 supine pullups, 200 American Hammer (count only right side), and 300 squats .

Mosey to corner of park near Joymongers for Mountain Climbers and hillbillies IC

Mosey across bridge to field in track.  10 merkins, than bearcrawl 1/3 across; 10 merkins then bearcrawl 1/3; 10 merkins then bearcrawl to other side and finish with 10 merkins.  Return mosey around curve in track.

10 Peter Parkers (each side); lunge walk halfway across, then 10 Parker Peters and lunge walk to other side and finish with 10 Peter Parkers.

Mosey to broken stone steps for crawlbear up two sets of steps.  Bunny Hop the third set.

Over to shelter for some Mary. Crunchy Frogs, LBCs, one-legged dolleys each side, and dying cockroaches.

Mosey back to lot and finish with Copperhead squats to end at 06:15:00

COT

Prayers for travel and those fighting cancer and other medical issues.

YHC took us out.

  • Due to cold temps and the fact that site Q LambChop was pre-excusing himself on Slack the night before, YHC thought I may be solo.  But Posthole was there when I arrived.  Good to workout with him after too long.
  • Mutton didn’t have a full hat on but nicely sported the Mary Tyler Moore head band for warmth.
  • Cherry Pie was bundled up and worried that I might call those pansy arm things, but YHC purposefully kept the warmorama highly active.  Even used actual Windmills, not those old man Abe Vigodas.
  • Root Canal got there at 0531 and proceeded to Side Straddle Hop his way from his car to the circle.  He provided 11s throughtout.
  • Spicoli was early, as in about 0532.
  • Spicoli and maybe even Mutton modified some of the Dora in part to finish warming up before attacking those pull-ups, which sucked, by the way.
  • YHC took the pax to a very little used portion of the park as an homage to Mutton who co-Qed by first F3 workout in 10+ inches of snow and took us there first thing in Feb 2014.  Some Pax were surprised to find the bridge there.
  • The pax smoked the Q on the bearcrawls.
  • When describing our next step, YHC said to run toward the light.  Some pax took that as a sign we were all dying and headed to the afterlife.
  • Most of the pax — not the Q — were smart enough to modify the crawlbears up the dangerous broken steps, using the grass hill or other modifications.
  • Root Canal commented that he basically drove past Mayhem to come to Conspiracy to find the answers to the questions that I may have mentioned in my preblast.  Of course, that was marketing crap, so I told him the Conspiracy was to get him to post.  Actually, I appreciate his showing up to my Q, as I do for all the pax.
  • Conspiracy is a great workout and Hanes Park is an awesome AO; take advantage of it from time to time.

Honored to lead this group today.

Thankful for each of you,

Burlap

    We appreciate your investment of an extra $2 in vehicle fuel and run time to drive all the way over to #Conspiracy for a solid Q. Good to see you and experience the nostalgia from yesteryear.

    Was disappointed your trademark rugby shirt wasn’t your outer layer.
