With the day off from work I was perusing the teamup app to see if the Q at Midoriyama was worth a hoot.  As chance may have it it was the infamous Open.  He sucks – I contacted the site Q – Slaw to see if he would rather me take it.  He mentioned that he was going to take it but I was free to step up.  So why not – it always rains when he Qs anyway so better to step up and stay dry.  So with just a couple of hours to prepare a weinke I set to work – planning the perfect Q for a warm sunny spring afternoon.  Several hours of thought, planning and creativity went into the process.  With about 30 min to spare I looked out the window – what the hell – it looks like its going to rain. – I had not anticipated inclement weather.  No worries time for plan b.  As I drove to the workout the skies opened up.  Time to modify – I sat in car for 5 min and scribbled a few basic exercises on a piece of paper and set out for what was sure to be epic.

Time – Mosey to picnic benches for cover.  Some grumbling from several pax about a lack of warm-up blah blah blah.  Once we arrived we warmed up with seal jacks merkins lbcs and hillbillies.

The thang – grab some picnic bench for a tabata style workout with 3 sets of 7 seven exercises – 1 min of exercise then 30 seconds of rest.  For whatever reason Slawbag felt compelled to stare at my Weinke – you can take the man out of the Navy but you cant take the Navy out of the man.  Exercises were Rocky Balboas (yes on the picnic bench), Derkins, LBCs Bulgarian single leg squats, dips, step ups, and squats.  Lots of mumblechatter about YHC not being able to start a clock, keep time, or count.  Damn what do they expect from a doctor – let me see your insurance card.   Apparently Slaw thought my Weinke was too long so he took it upon himself to monitor time and call exercises – who’s Qing this anyway! Three sets were all we had time for – mosey back to flag for 5 burpees and 22 for the vets.
