AO: Windjammer

When: 07/22/2022

QIC: False Start

PAX (6): Caroline, False Start, Longshanks, mike c (Brutus ), Townie, uga

Preamble:

Some lower numbers this week due to summer travel / vacations.  Perfect time for a BD that has time for mumble chatter and pushing each other. Greenlight!

Warm-O-Rama:

Mosey over to the dam for a little:

  • SSH
  • Hillbillies
  • Mountain Man Poopers (always a chuckle…)
  • Moroccan Night Clubs
  • Seal Claps
  • Overhead Claps

We’re warm, so we’re off.

The Thang:

The Thang #1
We moseyed to the boat launch for a little four corners ab escalator:

  • 20x LBCs
  • 40x Dolly
  • 60x E2K (30 each side)
  • 80x Flutter Kicks (alpha b/c Longshanks asked)

Gotta go down the escalator since we went up, so go in reverse order.  Once done we moseyed to the sports park.

The Thang #2

Oh look, a wall! I know what most were thinking, but no, just no.

Partner up.  Partner 1 wall sits while the other runs to the bottom of the street.  Flapjack so each partner gets a turn.  Let’s do it 1 more time since Caroline said he can’t remember the last time he wall sat…so I told him he will now 🙂

Mosey to the rock pile.

The Thang #3

3 PAX head up the street holding coupons overhead while 3 PAX stay back.  AMRAP bent over rows while the other 3 PAX Cusack their coupon and switch places.  The other 3 PAX head back down and then AMRAP curls while the original 3PAX Cusack back to them.  Repeat this pattern twice and end it, b/c Caroline made a comment about running around the track.  (6th rule of F3, don’t give the Q ideas, it won’t end well…)

The Thang #4

Round1: 3 PAX run around the track while 3 PAX AMRAP squats.  Flapjack.
Round 2: 3 PAX run around the track while 3 PAX AMRAP lunges.  Flapjack.

The Thang #4.1
It was to late to run the long way, so darn, we had to head up the dam.  First time up, backwards.  We had a tad bit more time, so second time up, backwards or forwards, whatever you dam jam is.

Mosey back to the flag with 30 seconds extra for some gas pumpers.

Done.  Phew, we kinda went all over the place today.

COT:

Widowmaker BD with Dogs tomorrow.  We suspect (expect?) lots of fire hydrants, Stu!

Blood drive today, signup!

F3/FiA convergence coming up.

Darth Visor CSAUP coming up.

 

We had Milli Vanilli strength coffee today, none of that manly stuff from BDs before. YHC spoke about life’s Greenlights, from by Matthew McConaughey book of the same name (see NMM for more).

Naked-Man Moleskin:

I recently started listening to Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey.  I originally went in to it based on a recommendation from some coworkers and just basic entertainment value.  I came away with his interesting viewpoint that we all have things in our life that affirm our way and say ‘go, proceed, more, please carry on.’   That’s hard in the moment to recognize, but if you just take a second to pause and think, those affirmations are all around you.  In fact, you can make decisions today that give you your green lights that create freedoms in the future.  Yes, some green lights are random or lucky, but doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take them.  Take the time to look for those green lights and get moving!
