As Promised, No Burpees at TRQ

QIC: Spamalot

Date: 04/15/21

PAX: Whirly, Wobegon, Rustbucket, Argyle, Ziggy Stardust, Green Acres (WD), Boomerang, Mongoose, Double Wide, Sassy, The Pony Express, Tonka (WB), Spamalot (QIC)

The Burpee.  YHC does not get it.  Why?  Some Pax across the Dash seem to like them.  Clearly, some Batflippers in F3 Nation really like them.  Why?  They are stupid and serve no purpose.  At all.  Thus, the only thing promised the Pax in the preblast was no burpees.  Promise kept.

 

At the stroke of 530, 13 Pax gathered, and circled up.

Mission Statement and 5 Core Principles were recited.

For those of you playing along at home, the Mission Statement is:  Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.

 

The 5 Core Principles are that the workouts:

  • Be free of charge.
  • Be open to all men.
  • Be held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold.
  • Be led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary.
  • End with a Circle of Trust.

THE THANG

Mosey towards the Lido Deck, stopping at the bottom of the hill.

 

Count off.  13 Pax.

Beginning with Pax #1 (THE Pony Express), call an exercise.  The other 12 pax perform the exercise, AMRAP as the sole Pax runs to traffic circle by education building and back.  Then on to Pax #2, and so on.
