Black Friday – Give Thanks

November 29, 2021

WHEN: 11/26/2021
QIC: Cortés
PAX: Dinghy, Turkey (2.0),Muzungu, Speedy (2.0) Nubbin, Fizz (2.0), Oatmeal, Steel Cut, Polenta (FNG), Denali, Gibson, Journey (M), Violet (2.0), Starburst (2.0)

YHC grabbed the Q for 2021 Black Friday with high hopes of getting the 2.0s excited enough to lead (at least they participated). As Thanksgiving wore on and they soaked up the family time with cousins aunts/uncles I knew it would fall to me. I did sign up to Q after all.

After a somewhat democratic process in the Northern Province a 7am start time was decided. YHC unilaterally decided we would go the full hour and work out from 7-8. Our theme this morning was Give Thanks.

Warm up (behind parking barrier as it is busier when not 5:30 in the morning)

     Intermission for PAX “football”. Ultimate frisbee but with football. Split into two teams two steps only allowed after each score scoring team names the exercise and rep count for other team but must also complete ½ the reps. Fun was had by all to a rousing 4-1 score on a very uneven field. Fizz was concerned what letter football represented since he was already disappointed I didn’t plan anything for the _space_ he was accepting of “it was intermission”. 

     Mosey to old courthouse front lawn

K – Kraken burpees

S – SSH 

     Mosey back to the flag

COT – Welcome Polenta, Oatmeal’s son. Thankful for this group and all that participated. I hoped to keep it fun and engaging while getting a good workout in amongst the gluttony that can be Thanksgiving week.
