Golden Anniversary

YHC took the Q at Gashouse on Thursday, and by Friday night, the ideas for a weinke started forming. Early in the evening on Friday, YHC remembered that tomorrow was his parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. This seemed like an important event, but how would that be relevant to the PAX? Then, later that evening after enjoying the music of the Liquid Pleasure Band in Mt Holly, YHC found out that it was the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop. Who knew? As someone who experienced high school and college in the 90’s, this seemed significant due to the quality of hip-hop music in the 90’s. But once again, how would this be relevant ot the PAX? The events may have been less important for a global reach, but numbers are important. And the number 50 seemed like the right direction for the weinke.

YHC arrived to the Schiele on Saturday morning to find Flintstone and Virus in what appeared to be a post-run state. Thought they’d got in some EC and would be joining the crowd. Turns out, they were taking a little break half-way through their 14 mile mosey. Good work men.

0700 and time to get going. Brief disclaimer.

Warm-up
SSH IC x 10
Low-Slow Squats x 10
Merkins IC x 10
LBCs IC x 10
Imperial Walkers IC x 10
(That’s 50 in the warm-up in case you missed that)

The Pledge

Bootcamp moseyed off while Nutria took the Pain Lab crew.

Mosey to the steps at First Pres where I gave the Site Q the option of 5-10 or 10-5. After some explanation and deep, thoughtful consideration, Short Sale chose 5-10.
That meant 5 count of each exercise 10 times.
So 5 Squats at the bottom of the stairs, mosey up the stairs, 5 Big Boy Sit-ups, mosey back down the stairs.
Repeat that 10 times (Once again, that’s 50 of each exercise in case you aren’t keeping up).

Mosey to the parking lot of Parkwood. Earlier YHC had explained to the PAX about the relevance of the number 50 to which Short Sale responded if it was the anniversary of hip-hop, then why didn’t we have any music? This is what makes him the King of Q and YHC a mere peasant Q dealing out scraps to the PAX. Had the idea not formed at 9:30pm the night before, that idea may have come up but probably not. With only a phone in hand, YHC started playing the “50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop” playlist on Amazon music. This was extremely underwhelming, but YHC let it play nonetheless.

Here’s how the parking lot madness went…

Start in the middle of the 4 corners. Mosey to the first corner and complete 10 of the exercise. Then, return to the center for 1 burpee.
Mosey to the second corner (counter-clockwise) and complete another 10 of the same exercise. Then, return to the center for 1 burpee.
Repeat for all 4 corners. Once returning to the center, complete a final 10 of the same exercise and 1 burpee.
That made 50 of each exercise during a round.
Round 1 – SSH
Round 2 – Jump Squats
Round 3 – Flutters (Count both legs)
Round 4 – Hand-release Merkins
Round 5 – Calf Raises
Round 6 – LBCs
Round 7 – Air Presses
Round 8 – Lunges (Count both legs)
Round 9 – Crunchy Frogs
Round 10 – Mike Tysons

Once we completed round 6, time was running low. So we had to combine rounds 7-10. Instead of 1 burpee, we did 4 burpees to make sure we hit the count.
So that was 50 of each exercise and 50 total burpees.

With little time remaining, mosey back to the flag arriving at exactly the 1 hour mark.
