Wild Card at Snooze

Short Sale had a nice plan to throw shade at SA and Leppard and I was the big winner when he asked me to Q on what otherwise might have been a rest day.  Here is what happened…

Warm up…quick mosey around the lot to some SSH, Imperial Walkers, low slow squats, and LBC’s.  The Q then placed some wild cards on the ground and each of the PAX grabbed one.  The rules are this….at any time during the workout, a PAX can retrieve a wildcard and interrupt the workout for whatever is on the card.

We moseyed to the back of Tera Mia and did some lunge walks and bear crawls across a parking lot.  Next, we did some DORA on the path behind the Spruce Goose.  100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s.  During the LBC’s, Short Sale pulled out the first wildcard.  What do you know, the first wildcard was one minute of StarGazers.  We then completed DORA when Tesla decided to pull out a Wildcard. It said 25 individual burpees.  Tesla thought that individual meant we all did 25 but the Q meant that the PAX who had the card did their own.  We all ended up doing burpees until Tesla had completed 25.

We then moseyed across the street for some MARY.  Before we got started, Orangeman pulled out a 150 Mike Tyson Wildcard.  We all did 25 Mike Tysons to satisfy the requirement.  Each PAX called an exercise and we were going around when Nutria pulled out a Wild Card for 30 individual burpees. Everyone did 5 while Nutria did 6 to hit the number.  We completed Mary and moseyed back to start.  The Q had the PAX set up for a bearcrawl relay when Snow Bunny pulled out the last wildcard.  100 burpees.  We did burpees until the time ran out.  Not much of a cool down but that is okay.  The Q had the wildcard idea and can improve on it next time.

We had four for coffee at the Spruce Goose (great choice!) and had a Momma’s Boy sighting.

Prayers for Turtleman, Nutria’s kids traveling home from camp soon, and for Norwood’s upcoming surgery.

Always a pleasure to get that extra sleep and SNOOZE a little longer.

Grateful

It was beautiful morning at Folsom where we all got a little better.  YHC gave thanks to F3 Gastonia and Folsom for providing me the ability to do things with my son that would not have been possible a few years ago.   We were able to do several hikes together seeing amazing views that I will be forever grateful to be able to experience.
