December 5, 2017

WHEN: 12/04/2017
QIC: Red October
PAX: Singlet, Stevie Ray, Spooky, Pooky, Fingers, Moore, Sherman, Nacho Libre, Manafort, Rudy, Eddie the Eagle, Zika, Holmes, Nucky, Fahrvergnugen, Red October (YHC)

4 PAX got after it on an EC Ruck and 4 PAX took a nice stroll through SV on a 5K EC run.   This was hardly a morning which would be classified as “In the Gloom” due to our Super Moon.   And what is a supermoon: Supermoons happen when a full moon approximately coincides with the moon’s perigee, or a point in its orbit at which it is closest to Earth. This makes the moon appear up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than usual.

With a Super Moon, 17 Total PAX rolled in for our workout this morning.  YHC was really glad to see Homes.   Homes is the PAX most responsible for EH YHC out to F3 a little over 2 years ago.   It took over a year for YHC’s first Q, and then it took 6 months for Q#2 to happen, but within the last 6 months YHC has now jumped in with both feet to the Q Pool.   This was Master Q # 20/25 for YHC at Pleasantville.  Thanks Homes.   If there is a F3 Patch for recruitment, then you would definitely have earned it by now.

Warm Up: SSH, IW, WMH, Merkins, BWS.

TANGENT ALERT:   The Plan was to use the village green for most of our workout.   Showing up this morning the Village Green was populated with Christmas Trees.   This required YHC to go with some serious Q audibles, including the Bear Crawl around the Christmas Trees.  Which, if you think about it, was kind of cool, because when was the last time you got to bear crawl around Christmas Trees?   Plus the Christmas Tree smell, plus the cold crisp air, plus the F3 workout, made this workout memorable.   ****Now back to our regularly scheduled program.****

Mosey to the Kiss and Go Lane.   Pair Up for DORA.  1 partner run the Kiss and Go lane.   Other partner performs an exercise.   Switch after one lap.   The team performs the following:   100 Merkins, 200 BWS, 300 Flutter Kicks (Cadence Count).

Gaze up at the moon while we perform the following: Slow Dips x 15. Slow Derkins x 15.   Slow Dips x 10.   Slow Derkins x 10.  Slow Dips x 10.   Slow Derkins x 7.

Mosey back to the launch site.   On the way YHC began to tell a few sea stories about working out on the submarine.   Including why Friday morning on the submarine the crew was so excited to clean.  Upon arrival back at the launch site:   Heels to Heaven x 20.   Boat/Canoe for a little bit because Spooky.

COT: Prayers to LP and his family as he continues his fight with cancer.   Prayers also to all of those PAX nursing injuries and unable to post.   Get better men!

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
