A Tardy Q and a Blown Weinke

7 PAX somehow found their way through the rat maze to find the cheese in the middle, as it seemed like every road led to a dead end and every traffic light was out.  The cheese was Limburger.  Here’s what I remember:

YHC left with 27 minutes to get to Midoriyama for the Q, and somehow had a funny feeling all wasn’t going to go according to plans.  First up, Dallas-Stanley Highway was closed at the Dallas side, so YHC took the alternate route, expecting to go Highway 7.  Halfway down Highway 7, the road was closed again, and the new route had the Q arriving at 5:36.  A quick call to the Site Q, and the early shift was covered with a warm up, and one last parting request of “Oh, and have the guys grab some blocks.”

So out of my chariot and straight onto the field to lead the action, and it was on.  A couple quick runs to get the legs loosened up, and

• 10 x Imperial Walker Squats (IC)
• 5 x Burpees (OYO)

and then we circled back, grabbed the blocks, and went to the lower lot to finish the workout YHC had planned a couple weeks ago, but was too ambitious with time, and didn’t even come close to getting to the Main Event.  So here we go:

The Main Event (15 Minute AMRAP)

• 15 x Skinny Block Merkins (leave the block long ways while holding the sides and doing Merkins – like a Diamond Merkin)
• 15 x Windshield Wipers with the legs arching up and over the block, then arching back counting as 1 rep
• 15 x Tricep Extensions
• 15 x Block Swings
• 15 x Pretzel Crunches L
• 15 x Pretzel Crunches R
• 15 x Block Split Squats L (a Bulgarian Split Squat using the block turned vertically for the back leg)
• 15 x Block Split Squats R
• Run to the end of the lot and back

At some point, the wind picked up (not like Wednesday) and the Weinke blew away, and Oompa let me know that my Weinke just got blown.  Speaking of blown, the bleachers by the horseshoe pit got lifted up and through the fence during Wednesday’s storm.  Lots and lots of damage out that way.

We pushed into the 4th round, but that was plenty, and there was more to do.  Leftover cole slaw wasn’t sitting well.  If it was July, YHC might’ve had a Spew & Q.  Great time to work the abs.

• 15 x Freddie Mercuries (IC)
• 15 x Flutter Kicks (IC)
• 15 x Toe Touches (IC)
• 15 x American Hammers (IC)

Last thing was a simple one, but a burner all the same, with Elevens:

• 10 x Thrusters
• 1 x Mike Tyson

Not dirty, because there was already enough dirt built in on this one.  Defib led the way, and was gunning to lap Slaw.  Slaw was having none of it.  YHC and Purple Haze stayed together and brought up the Six.

Blocks back to the pallet

Time for a little more ab work if we hurry

• 10 x Flutter Kicks (IC)
• 10 x American Hammers (IC)

And that was time.

Moleskin:

Crazy how we take so much for granted.  There’s been a lot of power out this week, but even just traffic lights, and the driving chaos and crashes that resulted from people on the roads who think the rules don’t apply to them.  If we all always just do whatever we want, it’ll be crazy.  We’re better when we look out for each other.  Thank you to each and every person who keeps the lights on, the streets safe, our hearts beating, our veggies picked, our prayers lifted, and all the little (but big) things that make our society what it is.

Grateful to for the opportunity to lead (for 39 minutes anyways)
