The Workout That Made Sgt. Schulz Actually Request Rush

QIC: Starfish

Date: 12/17/2022

PAX: BAM, Plunger (from Charleston), Undertow, Lemming, Parkay (WB), Bluto, Lace, Sgt. Schulz, Splash, Green Acres (WD), Sister Wife, The Singing Cowboy, The Pony Express, Frostbite, Starfish (QIC)

Gotta admit, YHC is a little burned out on Christmas music.  And almost burned out on holiday-themed workouts.  So, in preparation for this past weekend’s edition of #Purgatory, YHC decided to suck it up and include the traditional holiday themed workout consisting of The Grinch and The Twelve Days of Christmas but mix it up slightly by having that fun accompanied with a carefully curated playlist of Best of 2022(*) Tracks.  * = according to YHC (and maybe only @Undertow from the rest of the pax).  Adequately disclaimed, the pax proceeded to roughly perform the following:

Warm-O-Rama

• Hillbillies x20 IC
• SSH x22 IC
• Copperhead Merkins x12 IC
• Copperhead Squats x17 IC
• Arm Swirly Things, Forward x12 IC, hold it
• Arm Swirly Things, Reverse x12 IC, hold it

COT/BOM:  YHC took us out.

FIN.

NMM

It was a great group of pax this morning, made even better by the return of our Prodigal Son, @Plunger.  Even though he now claims to be “From Charleston”.  Hopefully he hasn’t really forgotten his first F3 love here with the DashPax.

We were also made better by the addition of @SisterWife who’s first F3 love is with the Columbia, SC pax.  Happy to have you join us here.  You can go back there and tell them that you are now “From Winston-Salem.”

All were surprised to see @Parkay pull in even though his dad was Qing across town over at the #ImpossibleSituation #Mothership.  Apparently son’s appearance with us was even sanctioned by dear old dad.  YHC was relieved that his own 2.3,  @Frostbite didn’t head over to Hanes Park with @Burlap instead.

@SgtSchulz was so unimpressed with either the workout or the playlist (or both) that he actually requested Rush midway through the workout.  #TruthNugget.

@Undertow seemed to be the only one impressed with the playlist and even called out IDLES and Wet Leg as they came on.  Speaking of @Undertow, he is taking over the #Purgatory #SiteQ reins from @Lemming.  #Tclaps to you both.

No surprise….@Lace was out front all morning and even got bored waiting for the rest of us to finish up The Twelve Days of Christmas.  @Splash was right behind him.

Speaking of The Twelve Days of Christmas, @Bluto thought we should consider celebrating the Eight Nights of Hanukkah instead.  Even tried to convince YHC that Stein is Jewish but YHC didn’t fall for it.

@GreenAcres had his arms covered.  But still claimed to have the tank top on underneath.

@BAM liked the fact that we got in 2.12 miles.  #Cobains.
