The Things We See At WIB

QIC: Frostbite

Date: 7/13/2023

PAX: @Van Gogh, @Cherry Pie (WD), @Huckleberry, @Workbench, @Crash, @Frostbite (YHC, WB)

What a morning for a beatdown at #WIB.

When Qing #WIBs, I try to pick spots that are not normally visited.  Today was at the Old Sears Hanes Mall building.

Little did I know that many #Pax hate this location. I had only been one other time at @Van Gogh Q and really enjoyed the long distances between stations and the relative flatness.  So, I figured this #AO would be a unique opportunity for the #Pax to branch out.

I think most people hate it for the sole reason that @Van Gogh has led some cruel beatdowns there like bear crawling a leg of a station, KB swings for an absurd amount of times, and other @Van Gogh specials that only he can do.  Is he the most feared Q?

Anywho, the workout went something like this.

NMM:

I still do not know if it #WIB stands for Workout-in-a-bag or Workout-in-a-box

@Huckleberry and @Van Gogh were out front all morning lapping everyone.

@Cherry Pie did not bring an FNG as promised and kept asking for water.

@Workbench was out front until the burners blew out (he said it, not me).

@Crash was the only one probably not Thistle counting.

@Schlitz was missed. Woke up to a text saying he was planning on being there but the 2.0 did not cooperate last night.

Whole lotta reps for everyone. Most people got through the full circuit 5-6 times. Strong work by all!

Story Time:

About midway through the workout, 2 dudes starting approaching the lovely parking lot. One was coming from one direction (near the hospital on Silas Creek), the other was coming from the Chipotle/Jimmy Johns entrance.  I thought nothing of it… figured they were convening at the 18-wheeler in the parking lot getting ready to start their day. But they were acting awfully suspicious and congregated outside and were just standing there.  I did see a handshake between the two. The conversation lasted about 5 minutes. @Crash thought maybe it was a drug deal… maybe someone just needed a bump at 0600.  Maybe I did, too!  One of the guys called out to me asking if we were training for the Olympics.  I responded “yeah, something like that!” Who knows what really went down and I will leave it up to your guys’ imagination.  That led to the conversation during #COT of the strange things seen at #AOs… like someone sitting in their car for the whole time.. etc etc.  Any other weird run-ins?

Prayers:

@Cherry Pie’s father who starts Chemo today.  Could be up to 4 rounds depending on how it goes.

YHC took us out asking for healing and strength and courage.

Honor to lead this morning.  Til next time! @Root Canal the 2 guys took the keys so you’ll have to go on a hunt for them.
