Doubling Up on Monthly Challenges

Doubling Up on Monthly Challenges

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 09/19/2024

PAX: @Greenspan (RIRO), @Pollster (RIRO), @Burns, @Crash, @Root Canal (WD), @Lamb Chop, @BooBoo, @Frostbite (YHC, QiC, WB)

I received a text from @LC on Monday morning asking if the notorious Workout in a Bag style beatdown was somewhat close to Thruway he would be able to make it. Firstly, this was a good reminder that I indeed had the Q to #WIB because YHC had not checked the calendar yet, so thanks @LC! Secondly, I obliged @LC’s request…YHC loves Thruway #WIBs, but it is a commonly used launch spot, so I wanted to spice things up. I thought about launching from Bagel Station since that is where @LC had to be sharply at 0606, but decided to go across the street to the much bigger parking lot that houses various law firms/business. I think its formal name is Oakwood Plaza? IDK.

Anywho, YHC sent out the #preblast to converge on this launch spot even providing aerial imaging of where to be. 7 others joined in on the fun and here is how it went:

YHC passed @Greenspan and then passed @Pollster as I smartly drove to the launch spot, while these #TeachersPets got in some EC running of about ~1mile RIRO.

Warmarama:

SSH (19 x IC)

IST (9 x IC)

Abe Vigoda (6 x IC)

Whirleys (9 x IC)

Arm Swirly’s (12 x IC F/B)

The Thang:

YHC laid out the plan. There would be 3 stations in a right angle/isosceles triangle. Partner up.

Partner 1 would run counter clockwise. Partner 2 would run clockwise. Each time you meet up with your partner #PAX were instructed to do 5 burpees.

#PAX were instructed to do stations the rest of the time.

Station 1:

9 Bonnie Blairs (DC)

19 Merkins

24 LBCs

Station 2:

9 Mutton Crunch (L x R)

19 Bonnie Blairs (DC)

24 Irkins

Station 3:

9 Diamond Merkins

19 WW2s

24 Bonnie Blairs (DC)

#PAX got through about 5-6 rounds! Strong work was had by all. That was hard. The numbers coincided with today’s date. Creative, I know.

Mary:

Low Flutter

Low Dolley

Gas Pumps

Box Cutters

TIME!

NMM:

YHC received a text from @Greenspan at 0517 stating “I’m coming; stomach decided to pull operation Dunkirk.”  I quickly responded also from the shitter that “I am dealing with the same.”  It was fun to be his partner during the beatdown.

@Burns did not like the workout. He complained about the amount of Bonnie Blairs. He complained about the parking lot. He complained about the lack of distance in between stations. Anything else?

@Crash & @BooBoo were partners and did there own thing and did not follow YHC’s perfectly laid out instructions. “When you are 50+ you get to do whatever you want” – @BooBoo. The thing is @Crash is not 50+…

@LambChop had his Wheaties this morning and lapped everyone including his partner @Dr. Toot. Strong work or poor counting. Who knows! Sadly, @LC missed Mary to have a bro-date across the street at Bagel Station. He did not bring any back for the #PAX.

@Dr. Toot was trying to chase @LC the whole time. This was @Toot’s 4th workout in 3 days and he led us in a very strong beatdown on Tuesday evening at #HighLife….

@Pollster was in turbo mood. He left me in the dust pretty early on. Dude is a beast!

52 reps (DC) of Bonnie Blairs each round. Not fun.  52 reps of arms each round. Not fun. 52 reps of core each round. Not fun.

Announcements:

Happy Hour and 1/2 – TONIGHT! Brouwerij Dubois. 5:30pm-7pmish. Come out and bring a friend!

@Green Acres Retirement! 10/03. He has Q at TRQ and hosting us in his lawn for Happy Hour! Come on out and celebrate our War Daddy!

Prayers:

@Drip and family mourning the loss of M’s mother. Funeral next week. 2.0 Wedding this weekend.

@Palin’s M Caitlin dealing with job transitions.

YHC took us out thanking the SkyQ for His goodness and faithfulness. Asking that #PAX would feel His comfort and arms wrapped around us.

Thank you for the keys @Toot! Keys are inside Bagel Station (check the 5 cheese & bacon basket).

All the love,

Frostbite
