Bonus Points for Rain

September 12, 2017

WHEN: 09/12/2017
QIC: Tater Tot
PAX: Tater Tot Chubbs, Soda Popinski, Funny Money, Dundee (FNG), The Donald (stopped by and said hi)

Q’ing in the rain is great – everything you plan to do is harder and demoralizing and it always takes longer so you cut half the plan. As a PAX, posting in the rain (in YHC’s view) earns you double F3 points so make sure you spend them wisely on the next shirt order! We were graced with an FNG this morning who lives nearby and knows many PAX, so after YHC gave the very thorough liability reminder, the PAX were off to make the Gloom a little more fun. 

Warm Up
Run a lap around the parking lot and circle up.
SSH x 30, Willie Mays Hayes x 15, the exercise formerly known as “The Cotton Picker” x 15, Mountain Climbers x 20, Arm Circles regular and reverse x 20.
Mosey around the back of the school along the gravel road – butt kickers and high knees were called. Run all the way to The Cage.

The Thang
Bear Crawl The Cage – Start at the lone basketball hoop – bear crawl between the long hoops (basically to and from the play ground), crawl bear the shorter distance between the two closer hoops. 20 Merkins at each station. AMRAP for 10 minutes (it may have been 12 min WINK!).
Funny Money really wanted us to ask him about the BRR. Like, really wanted to talk about it. Like when YHC comes home from work and my 2.0 has made a new version of a police boat out of his Legos and it has to be discussed immediately. The PAX asked all kinds of questions about BRR and Funny’s time. He saw one other person walking and a chicken, that’s it. Plus he rain like 14 miles. Plus it was like 3 AM. So it was a solid endorsement for the BRR…  All jokes aside – it sounds like the BRR PAX had a great time, congrats to the runners! 

Bus Loop to Entrance Run – After 12-ish minutes of Merkins and Bear Crawls – the PAX lined up at the Bus Loop exit – run from the loop to the school exit, 20 burpees, run back, 15 burpees, run back, 10 burpees…. etc. The PAX got out to the exit for the first round and YHC decided to modify – adjusted to be just out with 20 burpees, and back with 10 burpees, then a run out the bus loop, along Hillandale Rd back to the front entrance.
Here’s where we were graced with a visit from The Donald and his dog. He was out for a run and heard about the scouting party, stopped by to say hi, it took him a minute to find us because we kept running away from him. He was off and running before our next set (smart move). 

Front Entrance Dips, Derkins, Erkins – Pick a spot for 20 dips. Right into 15 derkins. 10-count. 20 more dips right into 15 erkins. 10-count. 20 more dips, and 15 more derkins. circle up under the main entrance awning for Mary.

Mary
LBC x 30, Flutters x 30, Heels to Heaven x 20, Russian Hammers x 15, Superman for 1 min 15 with arms out, left/right arm forward, chin up. YHC noticed the school custodian watching us while opening up the school, need to befriend him, it would be crazy to get permission for railroad steel or something fun at the school.

CoT
5 strong this morning. Great work. Welcome to FNG Dundee who told us he once paid money to wrestle an alligator.
Prayer (thanks Soda for reminding me before we trudge back to our cars) and we are out!
