Failing to Plan…
QIC: Turnover
Date: 3.13.24
PAX: Burns (WB) , Cruiser , Bootlegger , THE Pony Express , Dr. Toot (WD) , Zima , Workbench , Turnover (Q)
The morning got off to a rocky start when YHC overslept and showed up late for the EC run w/ @Burns. We still managed to get in one mile and picked up @Zima, who RIRO’d, toward the end of the EC.
The PAX descend onto Jamison Park and we get started.
Mission Statement and CP’s recited (almost) perfectly. Extended a bit to allow for @Dr Toot to join us in the Warm O Rama circle

The Usual Suspects + some Merkins
Mosey to the Benches for…
The THANG
YHC laid out the guidelines of the beatdown that was totally, fully planned.
The 4×4 – 4 rounds of 4 exercises, 30 reps of each
After completing each round of exercises, all PAX would squat/merkin for the 6, then mosey together around the greenway loop and back to the Benches
At the playground, stop for 10 burpees and 10 Mike Tysons (#crowdpleaser)

Shoutout to @Burns and his commitment to EC runs + his patience with a tardy running partner. Thanks for the push dude.
Also T Claps to @Zima and his customary RIRO. Does this guy even own a car anymore? He just runs everywhere.
YHC made the mistake of sharing with @Burns before the run that the entire plan for the beatdown may or may not have been fully baked at my time of arrival. Even so, we figured it out.
Lots of prescribed OYO reps is not typically conducive for lots of MC, but we made up for it with our team moseys around the park.
@Zima attempted early and often to derail the Q and the prescribed work with his “commentary” (see: complaining/dissention). Nobody messes with Abe Vigoda dude. Nobody.
Lots of solid MC was had on our moseys. Ranging from @Burns crying “time wasting” any time he didn’t like the called exercise, to @Pony’s “abstention” tactics, to a strange sound coming from @Dr. Toot’s money maker during the Squatty Potty’s.
All PAX put in some serious work today and the push/fellowship was a huge encouragement to YHC.
I say it every time, but it’s true every time: it was an honor to lead these fine #HIM’s today.
Thanks for the keys, @Workbench. I think they fell into one of those rotted out logs near the playground during one of the rounds of Mike Tysons.
