YHC has his 1 year F3 Anniversary this Saturday(although first post was at The Falcon on a Friday).  Looking over the list of the PAX at the AO today, YHC is humbled to see that 2 of the 11 were EH’d by him and is aware that 6 more were EH’d by those two – it is really cool that 9 of the 11 the PAX at today’s AO are here because of YHC being EH’d by Juco December 2016.

The workout is a continuation of the workout I Half-Q’ed a couple of weeks ago.  YHC can thank his strength and conditioning coach in high school for this workout, and YHC is glad to say the 22 degree starting temperature is just about perfect for this workout.  The goal was to have 5 minutes of warmup and then keep moving for the remaining 40 minutes.  YHC also laid in bed last night and looked at all 553 exercises in the exicon – in search of those do-able yet somewhat obscure exercises – YHC certainly feels as though he succeeded at that task today.

Warmup:

Side Shuffle Hops x20

Finkle Swings x10 Right Leg

Finkle Swings x10 Left Leg

Smurf jacks

5 Penalty Burpees because every time YHC posts at Hurricanrana we do penalty burpees

Mosey for 2 minutes with no real destination (Not all who wander are lost – J.R.R Tolkien)

The Thang:

YHC started the trusty digital wristwatch timer at 1 minute and we began moseying.  Goal was to maintain a pace between 8-10 minutes during mosey, keeping PAX together.  When the trusty wristwatch beeps, we do an excercise which YHC calls out.  Ultimately results in 20 minutes of running and 20 minutes of an excercise (hopefully obscure) from the excicon.  YHC will attempt to recreate in order, but does not guarantee total accuracy at that task.  No Mary, because we just throw her in whenever YHC feels like it.

  • -True Americans/Mosey (YHC’s favorite exercise is True Americans – expect to see them at every Q)
  • Rockette Dips/Mosey
  • Al Gore/Mosey to back of elementary school (Lots of Mumble Chatter about how YHC LOVES TREES)
  • Bobby Hurleys/Mosey
  • Nolan Ryan Right Hand on Ground/Mosey (at this point Tater Tot declared we should be doing the other way because he was a left hander.  Soda suggested Tater was dead wrong.  YHC feels shame because he should have known that the guy who did his last Q based on the Over/Under and Spread of a football game would be a baseball america encyclopedia and was 100% right.  Several other PAX made the similar mistake to follow YHC in his misguided belief.  The only thing YHC can say is “If you’re going to be wrong, at least sound and act confident while doing it!”)
  • Nolan Ryan LH on Ground/Mosey

At this point we were at the base of an incline/hill and YHC suggested we take a Bernie Sanders Break – Soda Popinski, master of running backwards again amazed us with his speed at this skill – YHC believes New Jersey must have something to do with this superhuman skill.  At top of hill, Assume Al Gore position and hold for the six (and then an additional 30 seconds because without trees, we do not live!)/Mosey again.

Mumble Chatter at this point was at an all-time high. YHC was asked if we were going to do Hillary Clintons or Barack Obamas and YHC responded “YHC had seen no such excercises in the exicon so no.”

  • Scorpion Dry Docks (Alternate Legs in the 1 minute span, because YHC realized no way he was going to survive 2 of these in a row)/Mosey
  • Overhead Press/Mosey
  • Weezey Jeffersons/Mosey

And just when you thought the mumblechatter couldn’t get any better, Soda Popinski and YHC belted out the Jefferson’s Theme for the PAX in attendance.

  • Apollo Ohnos/Mosey
  • Flutter Kicks/Mosey
  • Terminators/Mosey (During this excercise the PAX discussed the amount of noise coming out of YHC.  Apparently YHC’s grunts are the stuff of legends)
  • ?????/Mosey
  • Al Gore/Mosey to front of elementary school (YHC still loves trees)
  • Lunge Jumps/Mosey to the front of the parked cars

At this point, YHC’s fitbit read 6:14 – 30 seconds or so of American Hammers til 6:15

COT/Announcements/Prayer Requests

1) Bring a new unwrapped toy for Operations Sweet tooth on Friday.  Site Q’s will collect and get the toys to Assisi which will be distributed to Duke or UNC depending on which hospital you would like them to go to.

2) Churham Holiday/Christmas party this Friday in Chapel Hill.  Details on slack, be sure to RSVP if you are going to attend.

No requests today, Tater Tot took us out.

NMS

YHC enjoys this format of a workout because it keeps all PAX together regardless of where on the 1st F journey we are.

Interesting that we didn’t actually get to 20 and 20.  Blame it on YHC not hitting the stopwatch fast enough.

Also, YHC is sort of like Jimmy’s brother on Superbad – the singer – The Guy with the Beautiful Voice – He sings like a bird.
