11 HC’s translated into a turnout 39 PAX strong in the warm Saturday gloom of Hooker Fields. YHC had prepared a string-of-pearls workout that would work PERFECTLY for 12-15 PAX. Man makes plan; the great Q in the sky laughs.
Our inimitable (I looked up that word, Shark Tank) site Q, Bump Draft, donned an apron and not much else for this workout, revealing–to the shocked disappointment of all–exactly zero NASCAR, Virginia Tech, or Dollywood tattoos.
Warm-o-Rama
Mosey once around the track and into the parking deck. Split into two groups depending on your birthday. High knees, butt-kickers, carioca down to the other end. Alternate bear crawl/crab walk at each column on the way back. Mosey up and out of the parking deck.
Several PAX stayed behind at the AO. Perhaps a second (and far inferior) backblast is forthcoming. YHC senses that seal jacks were performed.
The Thang
A few EC’rs seemed to be content with mumblechatter at the six. Time (and the blockchain) will tell what deals were made back there, what alliances formed, or what cryptocurrency staked. Find yourself some curb on Country Club Drive.

Mosey down Laurel Hill. Left turn down the steps onto the frisbee golf course. Lots of questions about who brought discs, hackey sacks, medicinal marijuana, etc. Circle up! YHC led PAX in 10 8-ct manmakers, then threw it to Wawa for the next five. Wawa refused on the grounds of heavy fog. YHC threw it to Catskill for 5 more, then Elwood for 5 more.
Mosey to the shelter.
Derkins x 10 x 3 led by YHC and Wawa, suddenly fog-immune.
One Legged Squats led by Beverly Hills Ninja and Madden. Social distancing exemplified by Big Kat, who made expert use of a heretofore underutilized split-rail fence.
Mosey to the beach/volleyball courts.
Group 1: bunnyhop across courts, 10 IC overhead claps once you reach the fence, bunnyhop back.
Group 2: OYO SSH, get up on those pull-up bars for a good AMRAP set.
Mosey around the lower tennis courts to a big clearing in a big circle.
The site Q was asked to demonstrate how a male of the species might perform an Iron Surrender. Site Q professed ignorance re: knowledge of any such exercise; an extensive DM exchange earlier in the week to prevent this exact ignorance; probably the time and date. Site Q led us in three rounds of Iron Surrender/I-Don’t-Knows, alternating with 3 rounds of diamond merkins led by Bonsai.
Mosey to the bottom of the mountain.
Bear crawl up to the first gate, perforn 5 burpees, mosey back down.
Run all the way up the mountain to the pinestraw! Ouch. Pick up the six. 10-count x 2.
Let’s finish off this hill! Mosey up to the grass; bear crawl or crab walk up to the streetlight. Harbaugh 1-5 led PAX in IC LBCs until gruppo compatto. Mosey up to church parking lot.
Bat wings to burn out the shoulders.
Brief interlude to get to know our FNG/Ks a little better.
Burpees x 10
Mosey back to the AO.

Flutter kicks IC x 50
Nolan Ryans, saved by the bell!

Thoughts and prayers to Tb as he goes through the loss of his M’s aunt to COVID.
Welcome Black’sBeach, BunsenBurner, Messi, Rookie, and TexasLeaguer.
I’m grateful for all who showed up, for our FNGs who showed up, for the opportunity to lead, and for the sand in my socks. Aye!
