House of Cards (actual cards, not the show ?)

June 9, 2018

WHEN: 06/09/2018
QIC: Scrooge McDuck
PAX: High Tower, Twoply, Pleather?, Beano, Cheese Splint, Paparazzi, Crockett, Iron Man, Low Tide, High Tide, Red Tide, Newt, Deep Dish, Mr. Brady, Riggs, Wild Thang!, Chester, Gauntlet (FNG), Toast McQueen, Big Kat, Crimson, Funny Money, Mate

It was good to finally make it back to TBL after being on the IR for a while.

Warmup:

25 × SSH
10 × WMH
20 × IW

Main Event:

At the terrific suggestion of using cards to integrate into the workouts by Mr. Brady earlier in the week, I put my own twist of having each color coordinated with the type of exercise (red = arms, black = legs, royals and aces being wildcards, aka whatever I felt like to keep it fresh) in addition each card determined the number of each exercise we did at each corner of the field.

4 ♧ Jump Lunges (4 each leg × 4)
9 ♧ Jump Squats × 4
8 ♧ Bobby Hurley’s (a jump squat, but fun!)

After the first three cards came up as Clubs, it became quite evident that YHC flat out sucks at shuffling new cards. I was starting to run out of leg exercises and it was only 15 minutes into the workout! Thankfully, some reds with a couple royals finally got picked!

Q (12) ♤? WW2s × 4
3 ◇ Burpees × 4
4 ◇ Diamond Merkins × 4
3 ♡ Peter Parker’s increased by 3 each corner.
K (13) ♤ LBCs × 4

6 ◇ LBOC (regular and reverse) × 4
YHC picked the last card, which I guess didn’t matter because I already knew what I wanted to do.

2 suicide sprints across the field and going backwards to the start.

Mary:

15 × ‘Merican Hammers
25 × Flutter Kicks
15 × Heels to Heavan
5 count Plank Ring of Fire

Glad to have had High Tower join us as he is finishing up his Move to D.C. It was great to hear that the group in Arlington is growing with potential new sites coming up.
Spring Haven Farms is showing kid friendly movies on Saturdays in Chapel Hill…and you get to watch it with actual goats (if you’re into that sort of thing)!

FNG Gauntlet joined us this fine morning!

YHC took us out.
