Exciting WIB

QIC: Huckleberry

Date: 02/06/2025

PAX: Bagpipe, Greenspan, Frostbite, Van Gogh, Pollster, Drip, Frostbite, Ludicrous

6 pax read the on time, super detailed preblast and elected to set an alarm (or just not sleep) and post to a Huckleberry WIB at Calvary Baptist Church.  Van Gogh had to wake up at 345 to get that many layers of clothes on -looked like Turnover when it’s 52 degrees out.

0530 – Warm o Rama – SSH, Abe V, Imperial Walkers, Michael Phelps.  Mosey to the main parking lot.  Bagpipe comes flying in to make 7 pax – I think he came from the gym so he didn’t need to warm up.

The Thang – turn the parking lot into a figure 8 with a single well marked, easy to identify orange cone to mark the center.  Every time you pass it, 6 burpees. The parking lot at the bottom of the 8 had some trash, therefore we did hoovers (bear crawl to crawl bear in the parking spaces – if you have never done these, they are like bear crawling a DB drill.  If you have never done a DB drill……well you could play for the Panthers since they haven’t either). The top of the 8 had 4 stops – prisoner get ups, irkins, derkins, and iron mikes.  Start with 1 rep and increase by 1 each lap.  12 burpees per lap.  That was it – just go.  But Huck….didn’t you say something about a new exercise??? Yep….hold on, be patient…it’s coming.

During lap one….Ludicrous showed up and joined the party to make 8 pax.

Somewhere around lap 3, Greenspans watch started making an emergency noise during the Hoovers.  He stated something around “I’m dying” and “He’s trying to kill us”.  Turns out Apple watches don’t speak sarcasm…..so it called 911.  Greenspan then had to spend the next few minutes convincing the 911 operator that he was fine and I was not actually trying to harm him. On the next lap Ludicrous stopped in the Hoovers with an injury to his shoulder. On lap 4, Drips car alarm starts to go off on the other side of the parking lot.  “Drip…..ummm… that’s your car alarm”.  Drip – “My wallet is in there! Well, we are in a church parking lot so I am sure it is fine”.  We all figured that the police were already on the way after Greenspans 911 call so no one went to investigate.  As we were finishing lap 6, Van Gogh and Greenspan decided to race/sprint.  VG, coming off an illness – coughing – shallow breathing – and dehydrated throughout the workout, decided to lay down on the curb.  When he went to get up (feet on the road, laying on the curb), a new exercise was born.  We finished the lap and it was 610 so we all gathered for 10 reps of the new exercise (yet to be named).

Circle up – 3 Huck Merkins.  Time.

Announcements – PAX needed for Samaritan ministries 2/17.  Bagpipe has the Q at Iron Throne coming up.  Drip has Alcatraz this week.

Prayers – Lamb Chop and baby, Rollback and M’s recovery, Greenspan and difficulty sleeping

NMM

It was quite the morning.

VG was fighting off the illness all morning and took off a layer of clothes each lap.  After 7 laps…he still had clothes on

Bagpipe did work – no complaints, just pushing everyone around him to be better

Pollster…..well…..didn’t see him much. He was way out in front and after the 911 call issue, we couldn’t catch up.

Ludicrous was hurt, but he didn’t stop.  Just modified and kept on going.

Greenspan was thankful for the grass to do prisoner get ups – what a kind Q.

All in all, it was a typical easy workout filled with excitement and drama.  Just another WIB with Huckleberry.  Until next time………
