Date: 12/14/2021
PAX: Airbag, Huckleberry, Honey badger, Spicoli, Dr. Toot, Lambchop, Bob Ross, Wobegon, Burns, Woodpecker, Workbench
11 Pax braved the cold in downtown WS for Flatline on 12/14/21. After a bit of WOR, the q kept the pace brisk and pax mostly happy. Some poor cadence counting by YHC was bolstered by Dr. Toot who gave real time feedback.
A bargain was struck: Given the Geminid meteor shower going on that morning, every shooting star would not result in a wish, but a burpee. One additional burpee would be added for each shooting star witnessed. We did not require witness testimony, it was pax honor. The downtown light pollution did us a solid.
Warm-o-rama
10 count each, stretch to touch toes, Abe, toy solider
15 count each, Michael Phelps, SSH
The thang was a series of stops with a brisk mosey between each. We covered 1.3 miles the full way around.
Mosey to first stop – Old BBT building (along 2nd street)
15 each x 2 sets, irkins, merkins, dips
Mosey to second stop – Forsyth County Gov Building (all the way down 2nd)
Using brick lines in the plaza out front we bear crawled to one line, lung walked to second and then turned back, repeato for 4 x. A cardboard cutout of a lady was noticed and determined to be a bit creepy.
Mosey to third stop – Coal Pit at Bailey Power (Chestnut, right on 4th, left on Patterson, left into coal pit)
Dodge the guy setting up a sign, then partner up
One partner runs a circuit up the steps, out to 4th street turn left, left on Patterson, left into the coal pit
The other partner did either a wall squat hold, arms out hold, or plank during the run. Everybody ran three times and held for three times.
1st shooting star! 1 Burpee.
Mosey to fourth stop – Train Trestle over 5th
Partner up again, one group sprints (term used loosely) to parking garage wall, to do 10 Mike Tysons the other group does pull ups.
2nd shooting star (witnessed by Huck from inside the parking deck, amazing!) 2 Burpees.
Mosey to fifth stop – Bus Station (up 5th street)
Queue the uphill grumbling along 5th street, arrive at destination.
Right and left step ups on the concrete bench, nominally 15 each leg x 2- sets, but we had to Omaha back to start due to time.
Mosey back to parking lot (the start, up 5th, left on Cherry)
Brief Mary, mutiny to merkins, 3rd shoot star! (much grumbling) 3 burpees. Fin.
Prayers offered up for Lambchop who along with his wife are is doing IVF and also for Burns who’s in the midst of a move and a busy time.
Future queues – see slack!
