QIC: crash
Date: 12/13/2022
PAX: adobe, offsides, drama queen, ziggy startdust, boomerang, schneider, 60 minutes, cruiser, sour mash, crash
The PAX were lured out unsuspectingly to a celebration of advent and tunes.
A good turnout for a chilly morning.
Brought out an advent calendar from flat line, I think from over a year ago.
Put together reindeer name based exercises.
Disclaimers were made about the music from a ‘rock christmas’ playlist which had one or two songs with the ‘E’ stamp. An offer was made to skip anything offensive or just highly undesirable.
Warmup
SSHx20, ISTx11, Whirly w/clap x 11, forward AST x 11, Hillbilly x 11, Abe Vigoda x 6, backward AST x 11
Get Blocks. Set up along front of school drop off, about 5 cones, 8-10 parking spaces apart.
Station 1.
Reindeer… numbers made up as we arrived
Dasher. Dips x30 (benches
Dancer. Derkins x20
Prancer. Pullovers x 20
Vixen. Incline Press x 30
Comet. Curls x 40 (maybe 30?)
Cupid. Skull crushers x 30
Donner. Derricks (single leg dead lift) x10 each leg
Blitzen. Bent row x 40
Rudolph. Burpees x 10
Station 2.
Advent calendar with 12 options.
A PAX chooses a number (20-60 were options), and does that many reps of the exercise behind it.
Silently, counting on own while the other PAX can talk or harrass the counting pax with questions like ‘what number are we on’, ‘what number are you on’, ‘are we done yet’, and that sort of thing.
We did, I think, about 9 exercises of 12 possible
squats x 50
heels to heaven x 50
freddie mercuries x 60
plank jacks x 50
alternating lunge x 20
carolina drydocks x 40
shoulder taps x 40
monkey humpers x 40
ww2 x 40
We did transportation after the block exercises to get back to the advent calendar. These were, best as I can remember,
Transportation

Announcements
Spicoli is running greenest Fri.
Anniversary of F3 first saturday of the new year Hanes Park
Watch slack for Xmas convergence
YHC is looking for Q for Iron Throne for Dec 26. Going to be out of town. Launchpad is listed to converge with Iron Throne. 60 Minutes signed up to Q Village Idiocy that day. Starting to feel like the most likely outcome is everyone goes to VI the day after Xmas!
Prayer Requests
Offsides daughter’s surgery on ACL 12/19. This is tough thing to go through and we only get through with family, care providers, the physicians, nurses, physical therapists, everyone that comes together for something like that, and with faith and understanding.
Prayers for other various and sundry things, the PAX, F3, and for the world now.
NMM
Ziggy seemed to like the workout and said to keep the cardboard, its a keeper from last year! Also asked about the music. I’ll put a link below if I can.
You learn new things about how small the world is, Cruiser and I share a common acquaintance I learned today.
Offsides (I’m sorry if i got this wrong) got overzealous during abe vigodas and got ahead by one, we decided he was counting correctly and continued. It was funny, you had to be there.
Drama queen taught the term j lo for something YHC used to call Jane fonda side hip dip style. Hopefully YHC has it right.
Boomerang kept the parliament governor on, YHC accidentally said to run backwards, yes I meant mosey!
Schneider might have been warmer with long pants, but he seemed fine.
YHC’s advent calendar has nothing on Adobe’s creations, but its the thought that counts. Next year I’ll make the print deadline to have it printed professionally!
60 min we are fortunate is taking the VI Q day after xmas. I’m not sure there will be one otherwise.
Sour mash HC’d for the workout, I thanked him and said that always gives a boost to the Q (at least if its me), I urge PAX to consider doing this more often. He says he does it to make a commitment to himself. The things we do for ourselves we sometimes end up helping other people, the things we do for other people sometimes end up helping ourselves. Philosophical!
Thanks to all the PAX for coming out.
The playlist
This one is 5 hours plus and i started it on random (a little dangerous) we only skipped one michael buble song at pax request and I only had to apologize for one song. Honestly its a pretty good one.
