Damp 22s

QIC: Van Gogh

Date: 06/22/2023

PAX: @ziggy stardust, @D-Day, @wobegon (EC), @Crash(EC), @Green Acres (WD), @van.gogh (WB, QIC)

YHC gave the PAX a choice at the beginning of the beatdown. Covered, or non-covered? The plan for covered was to play with a deck of cards and bear crawl, lunge walk, merkin, and burpee our way around under the covered area. It would have been miserable. The PAX chose the uncovered option, since it wasn’t really raining. After choosing, YHC informed the PAX that Qs on the 22nd are very predictable by now. I like 22s. Burns tries to stop me from grabbing spots on the 22nd, and thought he got me by grabbing WIB. Little did he know 22s can be applied to non-running AOs as well! <Insert maniacal laugh>

CoT

  • Prayer request for Resistor
  • Prayer request for Night Stick and his daughter Emma who is in Hospice Care after a long battle with Cancer.
  • YHC Took us out giving thanks, and lifted up the prayer requests.
  • NOTE that after COT their was a car wreck just down Polo Rd from Speas. YHC left a conversation with Crash to go investigate and ensure it wasn’t one of the PAX. The wreck was from a Honda Accord that spun out in the turn in front of the church and crashed trunk first into a tree just 6 feet from a house off Polo. YHC found a young man walking along the sidewalk, visibly upset. Upon asking if he was okay, he signaled he was fine and was on the phone. So prayers for that young man, glad he seemed okay!

 

NMM

  • 22s without moseying is ROUGH.
  • 110 burpees, 110 curl presses, 88 merkins + 22 pull ups (=110 reps), with LOTS of bear crawl and lunge walking. 
  • While stating the Mission Statement and Core principles, YHC was setting up his watch to start recording. After setup, Green Acres pondered “YOU HAVE THAT ALL ON YOUR WATCH?!” Nah, just multi-tasking, but that’s not a bad idea to help some PAX….
  • YHC provided music which was a mix of early 2000 rock.
  • D-Day suggested YHC get a fanny pack to carry the speaker, instead of choosing to put it in my pants during the bear crawl. 
  • The scorpion merkins are always a crowd pleaser, YHC opted to switch to OYO for those instead of in-cadence
  • Next time, we’ll save the pull-ups for the end, as time was running VERY short (we ran over) to finish our set of 22s. Note to self, 22s are slower when there is no running in between!
  • Not really any rain during the beatdown, but the PAX did get very damp while begrudgingly trudging through the burpees!
  • Kudos to Crash and Wobegon for running the 2 mile EC run, YHC encountered digestive delays preventing him from joining. Green Acres also joined them and moseyed from home. D-Day walked in. #TClaps
  • Ziggy was commenting on some of his travels, past and very near future. #SabbaticalLife 
  • Enjoyed hearing about DDay’s daughter working as a lifeguard this summer, a job my 2.2 would like to do when older. Also liked hearing about Crash’s 2.1 working at Style Encore. A job my 2.1 would like when older!!

 

Thanks for coming out despite the rough forecast, men! YHC left the keys with the poor kid who got in a wreck, I figured he needed them. Until next time,
