St. Paddy’s Day SHAMROCK Run

March 18, 2019

WHEN: 03/18/2019

For the folks who’ve Q’d: have you ever had one of those moments when the site Q posts a reminder at 3:30p the day before you’re due to lead…and realize you’d forgotten to get that one on your calendar? Yeah…that’s when you scramble and look for inspiration elsewhere. For YHC, it was this post by Rainbow Dash in Greensboro that saved ye olde hyde. 3 PAX did EC Pull-Ups. Appropriately, 17 PAX gathered for a St. Paddy’s Day-themed ME.

Side note for the folks who haven’t Q’d: no pressure, but if you’ve been around for 6+ months and haven’t, it’s time! Don’t fret. Get a co-Q. YHC (and others) would be happy to join you.

THE THANG

“Get Lucky (or Not So Much)”
PAX listen to 4:03 (radio edit vs. 6:00 full song) of “Get Lucky” by Daft Punk, performing Alternating Shoulder Taps, Plank Jacks and Mountain Climbers during the verses, drop for Merkins on the word “Lucky” for ~40 Merkins total. Well done, men!

Mosey to Row of Trees

First to end low plank hold

Mosey to bottom of hill near lower entrance of Wallace Wade Stadium

SHAMROCK Run
Unluckily, Q found a nasty leprechaun lurking in the bushes, which held a list of exercises for the PAX to perform.
Partner up, P1 runs “shamrock” (aka sidewalk), P2 performs AMRAP exercise held by leprechaun. In an act of merciful benevolence, he also brought some Irish Drinking Songs to ease the pain.
Sumo Squats
Hand Release Merkins
Air Squared
Mountain Climbers
Rocky Balboas
O‘Burpees
Carolina Dry Docks
Kickers (kick out right leg, left arm, then left leg, right arm)
When finished: People’s Chair

Mosey back to Plaza

Bear Leaf Clover
Q placed 4 cones in square, instructing PAX to Bear Crawl from cone to cone, completing 17 LBCs at each. Plank it until all PAX get ‘er done.

PRAYER
Lifted up Sweatervest’s grandmother, who turned 96 on St. Paddy’s Day and performed 96 burpees to mark the day (kind of). Seriously – grateful for health and capability. We can all look for people who lack the good health we enjoy, and reach out to be a source of support and encouragement.
