Left A Man Behind (Sort Of)

Left A Man Behind (Sort Of)

QIC: Starfish

Date: 10/10/2024

PAX: D-Day, Boomerang, Ziggy Stardust, Tonka (WB), Superfly, Dr. Toot (WD), Boomhauer, The Pony Express, Drip, BAM (0.2), Starfish (QIC)

YHC had originally planned this morning’s festivities to be centered around his great home state of Oklahoma in advance celebration of a big game against @ThePonyExpress’ #1 ranked Longhorns down at the Texas State Fair on Saturday.  But then @Undertow asked YHC to Q #Purgatory this Saturday so the Oklahoma celebration will be expanded to one hour at Speas on Saturday morning.  #BoomerSooner.  So that left YHC with having to come up with another plan.  Looking at the calendar and realizing it’s the 10th day of the 10th month, a loose theme was born, much to the chagrin of @DrToot.  #Cobains.  We fired up the speaker with Pearl Jam’s seminal debut album Ten  and made sure the pax were adequately disclaimed and launched promptly at 0530.

Slow mosey back to launch

COT/BOM:  YHC took us out.

FIN.

NMM

We started the workout with 11(!) and then @Drip joined in during Warm-O-Rama.  YHC thought we had 12 for the entire workout.  But then when we were counting off while slow moseying back to the launch, we only went to 11(!).  It was then that YHC was informed that we lost @BAM back at the flagpole.  #LeaveNoManBehind.  Apparently nature called.  $#!+ happens.

@DrToot complained early about not getting to eleven on any of the counts.  YHC informed him he was not going to be a happy boy for this workout.

@Wobegon figured out the loose theme as he recognized the soundtrack.  Side note:  Pearl Jam’s Ten has to be at least in the Top Ten  of debut albums of all time.  What other debut albums make  your Top Ten?  (YHC nominates The Cars’ The Cars)

@D-Day WIWOd.  @BAM and @Wobegon kept the TRQ Run Club going.

@Boomhauer is more interested in the Clemson-Wake  game than the Red River Rivalry.  Speaking of which, head to @ThePonyExpress’s house at 330pm ET on Saturday to watch his heart get broken and eat some brisket, eat some corn dogs and drink some Shiner.

YHC doesn’t think @Tonka broke a sweat as the #WarBabyByAMile

We had two different carpools at the workout today:  @Tonka/@ZiggyStardust and @ThePonyExpress/@Boomhauer.  They were seen drag racing out of the parking lot after COT.

@Superfly and @Boomerang were neck and neck in the @DoubleRespect division.  Not sure who came out on top.

Hope all of you complete the #StarfishDoubleShot on Saturday at #Purgatory.

Here’s the playlist from today:

• Once (Pearl Jam)
• Even Flow (Pearl Jam)
• Alive (Pearl Jam)
• Why Go (Pearl Jam)
• Black (Pearl Jam)
• Jeremy (Pearl Jam)
• Oceans (Pearl Jam)
• Porch (Pearl Jam)
• Garden (Pearl Jam)

It was an honor and privilege to lead this morning!

Your friend,
