We Like To Move It Move It

QIC: Burns

Date: 1.23.24

PAX: Chick Flick, Root Canal, Lamb Chop, Burns

I almost had to invoke the Coffee Clause when I rolled in the parking lot at 0528 to just Chick Flick standing there. Luckily Lamb Chop and Root Canal were right on my tail and we all hopped out, did a little stretching on our own, and hit the ground running at 0530. Thanks to a late night message from Spicoli, I knew we didn’t need to loiter around the parking lot. Flatline. Constant movement. Lets go.

  • North on Cherry St to First Pres. Whirlies and toy soldiers x10 IC.
  • Left on 4th St. Pause at the corner of 4th and Spruce. Jack reachers and Michael Phelps x10 IC.
  • Continue on 4th St. to the hallway outside of Bookmarks/Foothills. It was closed. So we moseyed across the street to that parking lot. One by one, bear crawl across the lot and crawl bear back. While we did that, everyone who was not crawling was doing hand-release star jump burpees. Appx 20 were completed by each pax.
  • Mosey out of the parking lot and east on 4th St. Left on Poplar St. Find a spot on the benches outside 500 W 5th St. 20 dips, 20 irkins.
  • Continue east on 5th St, stopping outside of the Benton Convention Center, find a spot on the benches. 20 dips, 20 irkins.
  • Continue east on 5th St, stopping at the stairs outside of the Millenium Center. 20 dips, 20 irkins.
  • Left on Main St, right on 6th St. Stop at the parking lot where Lamb Chop parked for a job interview once. 20 dips, 20 irkins.
  • Continue down 6th to the intersection with Chestnut – aka The Pit (TM). Every direction is up. Sucks, doesn’t it.
  • In the bottom of The Pit (TM), do 5 Bonnie Blairs. Sprint up 6th to the railroad tracks, do 5 Mike Tysons. Back down into The Pit (TM), 5 Bonnie Blairs. Sprint up Chestnut to 7th St, 5 jump squats. Back down into The Pit (TM), 5 Bonnie Blairs. Sprint up 6th to Patterson Ave, 5 hand release burpees.
  • Repeato with 10 of everything
  • Repeato with 15 of everything
  • Mosey south down Patterson, take a right on 5th St, stop at the train tracks a.k.a. the urban assault pullup factory.
  • Starting with 1 and increasing to 10 5, do a pullup and then sprint to the end of the parking deck and do a merkin. Add one each time.
  • Running out of time so we moseyed back to launch. West on 5th to Cherry, left on Cherry. About 50 yards from launch, jailbreak home.
  • Circle up for Mary. American Hammers x12 IC, 1 merkin, Low flutter x12 IC, 1 merkin, Penguins x12 IC, 1 merkin, Alternating shoulder taps x12 IC, 1 merkin, WWIIs x 12 IC (slow cadence/double count = crowd pleaser), 1 merkin, fin.

All told we covered a little more than 3 miles and got a lot done. 150 merkin reps (irkins, merkins, HR burpees) and a some other nonsense that got our heart rates up. YHC had more in the bag but sadly it’s not an hour long beatdown. Most suggested modifications were ignored by the Q. Lamb Chop is really into the merkin challenge, but he wants January to end while he’s still on top. Root Canal was giddy when we hit the pull up bars. Or delirious.. Chick Flick wants to exercise his site Q powers to set some distance parameters for Flatline – required minimum of leaving the parking lot and required maximum of … definitely less than 3 miles. I vote no to both. I think this beatdown would make the Flatline purists proud. CONSTANT MOVEMENT.

Prayers for Root Canal as he approaches a stressful weekend. Thanks and praise to the SkyQ for wonderful company.

Chick Flick, thanks for the keys. They fell into The Pit (TM)
