Once a Year

YHC woke up this morning to the sound of rain and knew immediately there was no chance that Short Sale would brave the elements and leave the fartsack to splash in the Gloom.  There were 4 of us at Mount Hollywood that did, however, and we got our money’s worth.  Here’s what I remember:

Adjusted the Weinke this morning, but the other one would’ve been a good one too.  Next time, Mt. Holly.

The Thang

• 10 x SSH (IC)
• 10 x Don Quixotes (IC)
• 10 x Hillbilly Walkers (IC)
• Calf Stretch from Plank
• Tesla Stretches

Front of the Middle School

Lindsays

• 30 x Merkins / 10 x Dwight Howards
• 25 x Merkins / 15 x Dwight Howards
• Break (because Q forgot the order of his last-minute Weinke)
  • 10 x Hip Slappers (IC)
  • 1-minute Wall Sit
• 20 x Merkins / 20 x Dwight Howards
• 15 x Merkins / 25 x Dwight Howards
• 10 x Merkins / 30 x Dwight Howards

Not a lot of 10 counts today though, we pushed through the work here.  Quick! Before we go!

• 10 x Hip Slappers (IC)

Rain’s lighter.  Still soggy.  Next up Ida Rankin.  Pro tip from the aforementioned fartsacker about using Ida Rankin in the rain.  Worked like a charm.

Started with what was supposed to be the first round of Mary, and was supposed to be back at the Middle School, but anyways, we did it once at least:

• 10 x Slow Dying Cockroaches (IC)
• Hammer Hold (American Hammers w/no hammer – Count down from 25)
• 10 x Slow Flutter Kicks (IC)

Then onto a dirty set of 11s, running “from the windows to the wall”

• 1 x Burpee at the wall
• 10 x Bonnie Blairs (Left & Right together equal 1 rep) at the window
• In the middle
  • Wall to Window – Always 10 x Gorilla Humpers
  • Window to Wall – Always 10 x Double Crunches

Counting.  Quiet.  Pillager brought the dad jokes.  Lots of work, but a time eater, and we haven’t even had the chance to run long and fast yet.  With this group, that was a must.  We were inside of 10 minutes, but the rain backed off and it was time to go.

• Run to Oakland (couldn’t push to Main with the time crunch)
  • 15 x Jungle Boy Squats
• Run to Catawba
  • 15 x Jungle Boy Squats
• Run to Hawthorne
  • 16 x Jungle Boy Squats (Pillager’s request)

Cars were showing up on their way to work.  We managed a little frogger to make it back to the parking lot, with less than a minute to spare.  Time to sit in a puddle.

• 30 second Hammer Hold

And that was that.

Announcements:

• Thunder tomorrow @ The Storm & Bulldog
• Annihilation – June 24th w/SA @ Old School
• Yank on July 4th with Tesla @ 0700

Prayer Requests:

• Norwood
• Pillager’s buddy in Omaha – F3 “Bobcat”

Moleskin:

As often as I’ve Q’d, I’ve never Q’d at Mt. Hollywood.  I guess that leaves Prison Break, Crossroads, and Old School as the only AOs left where I haven’t Q’d.  I guess I should try to complete my bingo card by the end of 2023.

This was only my 3rd time even posting at Mt. Hollywood, but I knew that I had to bring it.  The guys that post out there are a solid bunch.  In hindsight, there weren’t a lot of breaks out there.  We jumped a lot.  Could feel it some on the Bonnie Blairs, but could really feel it on those Jungle Boys at the end.    By the last run, I could tell we’d all been a bit smoked, which doesn’t always happen on a rainy day Q.

After it was all over with, Blueprint mentioned that he’d been posting for a year, and it’d never rained at Mount Hollywood.  Glad to be the one to bring the rain.  Also glad to stash Weinke #1 in my back pocket for the next time.

Had a blast today.  Will do it again with them boys soon.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
