Weather: 72 degrees, Muggy
Today’s workout was about 40 degrees hotter than YHC’s last Q at Arena in January.
Today we remembered our F3 Brother Da Bear – David Barker, who died in an auto accident this past Saturday night. He was a relatively quiet man, especially compared to some of our Arena pax, but he had many excellent qualities and was 53 years old.
The Thang:
Intro, Disclaimer, Prayer and Lord’s Prayer, Pledge of Allegiance
Mosey around the parking lot and into the center of the parking lot.
The workout went something like this:
SSH X 20 IC
Merkins X 10 IC
TTT X 20 IC
One Minute Stretching OYO
Merkins X 10 IC
LBAC – 10 FWD & 10 REV IC
Overhead Claps X 10 IC
One minute of stretching OYO in honor of the absent Notebook
IW X 20 IC
Merkins X 13 on YHC’s count to get to a total of 53.
Floppy and Notebook really liked my little “man purse” with my phone in it – think they were envious and want one just like it, but they pretended to be making fun of it! LOL They will never read this back blast, so it won’t matter. Is anyone out there reading it?
Mosey to the front of the school.
Da Bear crawls in memory of Da Bear – bear crawl for 53 steps, thinking about all of the blessings you have to be thankful for as you crawl. YHC will continue to use Da Bear crawls in the future.
The next round of exercises was borrowed from Argyle’s Q at Urban Legend last Friday (with apologies to Rock Drop who also suffered through that workout with YHC).
These exercises are in memory of CPT Michael Tarlavsky, who was 30 years old when he died in Iraq in 2004. Complete 12 reps of these exercises – merkins, squats, mountain climbers (4 count), calf raises, burpees. Run a lap around the parking lot. Today we completed 4 full rounds along with another round of 5 reps to get to 53 since Da Bear was 53 years old.
Indian run around the parking lot and back to the shovel flag.
First pax who reads this back blast and replies to YHC gets a free breakfast. Will anyone read today??
Finished up with Flutterkicks as YHC always does – today we completed 53 reps IC for Da Bear.
